What are my options for putting music on an Xbox 360 with a mac?

Question by scooterbaga: What are my options for putting music on an Xbox 360 with a mac?
With my original xbox, I settled for burning CD-RWs and importing them one at a time. Please tell me there’s a better way this time around.

If you know of any playlist management software options or how to download directly to the xbox 360 from my mac, that would be wonderful.

I do have Virtual PC running XP if that’s any help.

Thanks!
@TeknoKid: I’m definetly looking to store it locally on the 360. Really sucks they haven’t improved on this. Guess my burner/CD-RWs are going to get a workout…

Do you happen to know the song limit for a playlist of songs stored locally? It’s not still 500 is it?
As far as streaming, looks like Connect360 is the mac solution. Sync right up with iTunes.

The only way to actually copy music to the Xbox 360 hard drive is to rip it from a music format CD..

Anything else (iPod, Zune, MP3 CD, thumb drive, USB hard drives, network connection to media center or windows media computers) can be used to stream music to the Xbox 360 but you can’t make a permanent copy..

I’m not sure about the mac but if you are running some sort of XP emulator you should be able to stream the music from that as well.. the easiest way is if you are running Windows Media Player 11 you can set up sharing to the 360 without having to download any additional software..

Good luck..
