Have you seen the XBOX Music Mixer software in the bargain bins at your local game store? You probably noticed it and than kept looking. This powerful piece of software for the original XBOX is really a must have. Besides the Karaoke, which I have not yet used, this software allows you to transfer and play MP3 files from your Windows PC to your XBOX. It also allows you to transfer photos and create slideshows set to music.
I love this software and with my grossly underutilized XBOX hard drive ready to receive tons of files I have really put it to work for the holidays.
This past Thanksgiving I loaded a really nice play list of MP3 files and about 65 photos that I attached to my play list. I set the slideshow to random play and repeat and then for the next several hours while my family arrived for the Thanksgiving feast I had this playing on the television in the living room. The music provided a nice background and the photos were a great conversation starter. The whole thing became such a big hit. Several of my relatives asked how I had created this. They thought it was a DVD or something, and when I told them I was running it on my XBOX game system they were surprised and said that they didn't think an XBOX could do something like this. My Mom though that I was using the new 360 and she actually scolded me (the 360 is a Christmas gift which I have pre-ordered, picked up and is wrapped under our Christmas tree) then I told her this was still my old XBOX and she too was surprised (and of course she apologized).
Right now I am preparing the play list of Christmas music, of which my wife and I have a lot, and once it's all ripped to my PC using iTunes and then I will use the Music Mixer PC Tool to dump it all to my XBOX hard drive.
If you have a music collection and want to make playing it on your stereo system simple and easy I would highly recommend that you consider picking up a copy of the Music Mixer software. It makes playing music and viewing photos very simple and it will really impress your family and friends. I know that the XBOX 360 has many of these features built in but if you don't have a 360 then this will give you many of those same capabilities!
