How to Rip Music to the XBox 360 Hard Drive

Just because you love a video game doesn't mean you have to love the soundtrack. With the Xbox 360, Microsoft has made it possible for you to rip your CDs to the hard drive and listen to them while you're playing your favorite video games. You can elect to keep the music running quietly in the background so the video game is still the dominant sound, or you can opt to shut the video game sound off entirely and crank up the music you ripped to your hard drive.
