Enjoy Movies, Music, Videos, and Pictures with Xbox 360

Xbox 360™ brings music, movies, pictures, and more together in new and unique ways. This next-generation console is capable of taking advantage of all the following activities.

	Music Stream, Rip, and Listen to Music Audio CDs: Transfer music from your audio CDs to your Xbox 360 Hard Drive and create custom playlists. Portable music players: Use the Xbox 360 console's USB controller ports (two in front, one in back) to connect most any portable music player and listen to your tunes in MP3 and WMA formats. To check for a specific music player, see our List of Supported Devices. Apple iPod: Plug in your Apple iPod and listen to unprotected MP3 music files. You can also download a free update from Xbox Live Marketplace to listen to unprotected music in Apple's AAC format. Don't have a hard drive? No problem—the AAC update fits easily on an Xbox 360 Memory Unit. Note: At this time you cannot listen to files that were downloaded from the iTunes music store. From your PC: If you're running either Windows XP or Windows Media Center on your PC, you can stream unprotected music from your PC directly to your Xbox 360 console.
	Pictures View Pictures and Slideshows Digital cameras: Forget about downloading drivers—view your high-resolution JPEG pictures from most digital cameras by connecting your digital camera to one of the console's three controller ports. Put your slideshow to music and create a multimedia presentation for friends and family. From your PC: As with movies and music, you can stream your high-resolution pictures from a connected PC running either Windows XP or Windows Media Center.
	Video Watch Movies, TV, and Video DVD movies: No more Xbox DVD Movie Playback Kit required! Simply insert your DVD and use your controller or an Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote for full DVD control. DVD playback supports progressive-scan 480p for optimal viewing on HDTVs (requires an Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable). TV and on-demand movies: Full integration with Windows Media Center Edition 2005 means that you can access and control PC-based media right from your Xbox 360 console, including TV, videos, and on-demand movies in both standard and high definition. Even if your Windows Media Center–based PC is in another room, you can stream content to your console to enjoy all your media exactly where you want to: from your couch, in the middle of your entertainment center.
	Media Center Share Digital Media from your PC Connect your PC: Your Xbox 360™ console can deliver the ultimate integration of gaming and room-to-room entertainment—including watching or recording TV shows, viewing your digital photos, and listening to your digital music library—from a Windows Media Center–based PC to any TV in your home.
