eat me microsoft

I have to vent...I ripped my entire music collection to an external harddrive for use on my xbox360. I ended up ripping all my CDs using windows media audio lossless format. Everything ripped using the lossless format skips like a crazy mofo. I tried a different format and it plays fine. microsoft sucks ass!

That is very strange I have had absolutely no problems with WMA lossless. Do you have the latest version of Windows Media Player?

[cbl117]

I think so, its WMP 11. I just redid my computer. Thats part of the reason why I bought the external drive, so i could copy my files while I did a fresh install of windows.

I've ripped my entire collection using WMA Lossless, and I have zero problems with playback, either on the computer or streamed to a 360. Not sure on the specs for usb 1.0 or 2.0. Could you have a bandwidth problem and usb 1.0 port?

No problems here either. Sucks you took all that time to rip them.

Memo From Microsoft:

This guy tastes like shit.

I used the 360 to rip some music to its hard drive and that process worked OK.

I think the usb ports on my motherboard are usb 2.0. Not sure about the xbox though. I've tried the 2 ports in the front and the 1 in the rear (enter funny joke) with no luck. The drive in my computer is a new Liteon DVD/CD burner. I tried calling microsoft, but got a bunch of "uhhh, ummm, uhhh, what did you say your problem was again?"

[cbl117]

Maybe its the external drive. Its a Western digital Passport. I'm gonna try a jump drive and see if I get the same problem.

UPDATE: Music skips on the jumpdrive also.

Might not be MS's fault.

My last PC had... bizarre issues with ripping music. I ripped all of my CDs to MP3, and at least half of them came out completely garbled or skipping, and the only Microsoft product involved was Windows 2000. Fast forward, I built a new PC, used the exact same procedure, and no problems.

So... could be something bizarre on your end.

I'm not really blaming microsoft...I just knew that title would get a lot of hits...hehe:D

The hardware in my PC is about 2 years old. The only hardware replaced with this fresh install was the case, Mouse/KB, and Liteon Drive. Maybe the motherboard or harddrive is starting to take a crap...:(

What version of Windows media player are you running. I've only used 11 to rip lossless.

[Airplay355]

Maybe it's your CD drive?

Are you streaming wirelessly to the xbox? Could be a bandwidth issue if you're using wireless b, or interference. Try a different channel on the router, start with either 1 or 11.
