ANyone used the XBox Music Mixer

**pimpineezhoes** · 10-20-2003

I believe that the Xbox Music Mixer came out last week. Does anyone have it. I thought that I read somewhere that you can download songs to your computer and then transfer those songs to your Xbox. But I heard you can only od this if your ooperating system is Windows XP. IS this true?

Can anyone tell me how fast the transfer rate is. How long would it take for a 3minute song with average quality?

im curious myself. I hope its available to rent, i see no point in paying for it, not going to use it that much, but it may be cool to play around with for a little while, and its definately worth it just to import my music to my box w/o having to burn to cd

**jelgiad** · 10-20-2003

oh, and by the way, according to ebgames, it dosent ship until dec 1.

**Shadow20002** · 10-20-2003

I heard the release date would be well after the beginning of the year. 3rd delay that I've read.

Here’s what you need to get started:

Xbox Video Game System
Xbox Music Mixer
Xbox Music Mixer PC Transfer Tool
Available for download soon.
Microsoft Windows XP
Microsoft Windows Media Player 9
Xbox-to-PC Ethernet Connection, via LAN or Xbox System Link Cable (Crossover Cable)

Not sure if thats just a marketing ploy to make you upgrade to XP.

I guess, just wait for the 'Music Mixer PC Transfer Tool' to comeout, Download it. If it runs, you're fine.

Yeah XP is the most stable OS microsoft has put out. And the constant updates are fine with me. You can only benefit...

**WynnFire** · 10-21-2003

WTF??? It's shipping date is now 10/23/03?

**pimpineezhoes** · 10-21-2003

**JR Alberda** · 10-21-2003

Yup I think it ships in the next few days. I think I will get it.

BinaryXtreme · 10-21-2003

I want it too but the dates keep getting pushed back. Hope this is the last delay.

**DocHoliday78** · 10-21-2003

this thing is gonna make music transfering so much easier. I hope its not gonna take a long time though.

"best damn O.S. that Microsoft has ever put out"

not to be hostile here, but anyone who knows the least bit about computers and has been working with them for a long time knows that dos is the best os ever created in the history of computing...dos was the best, is the best, and will always be the best...

now that i'm off of my soap box here...

if you want to make music, dont buy the xbox music mixer lol... get programs like cool edit pro 2 and a good, REALLY GOOD mic for your computer...make ur own beats and stuff and just go with it, forget an xbox... an xbox will never be a viable recording studio and that "game" if you will, will bomb, in my foreseeing anyway...either pay for time in a real studio or get as close as you can with your computer... but for the love of god don't spit rap on an xbox...it'll sound horrible like shady records stuff... but anyway...it's late and i'm procrastinating on doing my paper, i better get on that...

Yeah, DOS is by far the fastest/most stable operating system (if you can call it that) but it doesn't have a GUI. Not that I mind though, I used it and macs before I used windows (which was Windows for Workgroups 3.11). I still use it as much as I can even with WinXP. Unfortunately, my old DOS games(Doom, Heretic, Hexen, Duke Nukem 3D) won't work with WinXP which is why I have a seperate DOS machine in my house specifcally for old games and software.

**spectre187** · 10-22-2003

Windows for Workgroups 3.11- hehe i remember that, that takes me back...

i have a dos machine set up too, for my mame arcade machine that i built (multiple arcade machine emulator) its so much faster than it would be running on any windows based os...easier to work with too...
