Effortless way to select what part of the song you want to play

The_Jacket · 07-13-2008, 03:52 PM

I just figured this out and haven't seen anyone post it.

All you need is iTunes. Get the songs you want to use together on a playlist (Mine is called NCAA 09) and figure out which part of the song you want to play. Right click on the song you want to change and click "Get Info." Go to the "Options" tab. It will ask you what time of the song you'd wish for it to begin playing (Ex: 1:23 means that the song will play starting at the 1:23 mark) and make sure that the box to the left of it is checked. You don't need to worry about the end time. Click okay and then burn the playlist to a CD.

When you play the CD on your XBox 360, (No idea about PS3) it will begin it at the exact moment you set it to do in iTunes. I figure this will come in really handy for people that don't want to screw around with downloading new software.

Can you also select the end of a song?

The_Jacket · 07-14-2008, 07:22 AM

Yes, you can.

Is there a minimum or maximum length for the clip in game on 360? Thanks.

I believe there is no minimum but I think the max. is a minute.

It's funny you posted this because I was thinking the same thing. The only reason I held back from starting a thread is because I was unsure if the 360 would recognize the format of the cd. Doesn't have to be MP3?

Instead of burning files to a cd to import, is there a way to send the selected part of the file to a flash drive?
