How to Get Music From Your Xbox to a CD

With your Xbox 360 console, you have the ability to copy and move data to and from the system's built-in storage. If you previously transferred music files to your Xbox 360, you can retrieve them from the console using a USB flash drive. Then, you can load them back on your computer and burn them to discs.

1-16GB USB flash drive compatible with FAT32 formatting
Computer with CD burner
Writable CD-R or CD-RW

  Connect your flash drive to one of the Xbox 360's USB ports. Go to "My Xbox," press "System Settings," select "Memory," then "USB Storage Device," "Configure Now," and finally, "Yes."
