Can you play a burnt cd on xbox?

706 · 07-02-2006, 12:37 AM

Im about to go away with my girlfriend on a little holiday. We wont have a computer or a stereo but ill take my xbox just for a bit of entertainment. I'd like to take my music with me but most of it is burnt cds.
I know the xbox can tell when you put in a burnt cd and it rejects it, i was wondering if there was any way to burn a cd so it will work. Or is there a way to burn a cd so it is more likely to work in a stereo, than if you were to simply burn it with wmp, as it seems that very few burnt cds will work in mine.

Edit: I unfortunately dont have the money or the time to get it chipped so that isnt an option

I think it can play CD-RWs. I remember playing a copy of my brother's linkin park cd in it so I know you can play burnt cds on it.

Yah, they can play CDs that are copied onto some (but not all) CD-RWs
