Xbox 360 Ripping Audio CDs with metadata?

Question

Ok, I am having problems trying to get this to work.
I am trying to rip a CD to my Xbox 360 Hard Drive and it plays just fine but it can't get metadata.
The CD has Fall Out Boy's Folie à Deux album (burned via Windows Media Player). I converted it from the iTunes AAC format via the Create MP3 Version in the menu. After burning, I place it in my xbox 360 cd drive (on already at Dashboard) and let it start. The disc loads and the tracks list as Track 01, Track 02, Track 03, etc. I then go to Rip and it says Unknown Album (date), Unknown Artist, Unknown Genre. Even after ripping, no metadata.
I was connected fully to Xbox Live through my Silver membership Gamertag. I also called the Xbox Support and they had no solution for me.
Anyone able to help me here? (I think the problem is the à)

Answer 1

As you burned your disc yourself, the Xbox won't be able to find the album online.



Metadata can only be downloaded for original music CDs (or 1:1 copies of original discs) that are in the Microsoft Media online database.



The Metadata is not stored on the disc itself, but the information about a CD is derived from a unique number on the disc or the number of tracks and their time duration.



As you burned a custom disc yourself, this disc is of course not in the database, and therefore it comes up as Track 01 from an Unknown Artist etc...

Answer 2

Whenever I rip a CD on my 360 it always comes out like that. (Track 01, Track 02, etc.) I don't know what the problem is, but the only thing I can tell you is that it would be easier if you just plugged in a USB keyboard into your Xbox 360, and manually rename the songs yourself.

Answer 3

The only way it will read the meta correctly is if you burn it as an audio cd using Windows Media Player, or use an actual cd you bought. Or at least, that's what I have observed when I was doing this.

Answer 4

It can as long as you have a hard drive.
