Playing iphone or ipod music through an Xbox 360 system

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to find out if its possible to play music from an ipod or iphone through an Xbox 360 system. I purchased a DRM-Free song from itunes and tried to play it through my Xbox 360 system with my ipod but it still won't play. The only songs that play are the ones from CD's. Is there any way that I could play the ones from itunes through my Xbox 360 system? Please Help,Thanks.

Correction, you can play acc files. You will need to download the codec for it from the Xbox LIVE Markplace (for free).

To listen to unprotected AAC files from your iPod music player

1. Go to the Game Marketplace and open All Games.
2. Scroll down the alphabetical list and select O.
3. Select Optional Media Update, then Optional iPod Support.
4. Select Confirm Download. The download is free.
5. Once your download is complete, select Continue and return to the Xbox Dashboard (press B a few times).

Any device that has the acc codecs can play them. You can connect an iPod to an Xbox via USB and the Xbox will see all unprotected content (provided you have the optional update I mentioned).

Hey

Isnt the DRM-Free music an unprotected AAC file. I downloaded the Optional Media update and tried to play the DRM-Free song from itunes but it still didnt work. Is there anything else that I could try? Is the DRM-Free songs playable through the Xbox even with the update?
