I know that the standard Xbox HD is pretty small, about 8 GB. I am wondering how big saves can get. I have about 21,000 blocks of memory on the HD that has been occupied by saves, and I am wondering how many MB this is. I also have one Xbox Live Account registered on the Xbox. Also, I want to know if I can rip MP3s onto the Xbox from data CDs, rather than audio CDs. I want to put as much audio as I could on the HD to make soundtracks for games and stuff, but I have no clue how big the saves are, so please, HELP ME! Thank you.

I dont reember block size EXACTLY

As for soudntracks the average cd takes 1000-1500( album)

As for data cd NO, unless your xbox like mine is modded then u must copy files off it and play with xbmc

Dont count mb size, count blocks

As for that, can you copy the Mp3s from the data CD onto your XBMC and play them in Custom Soundtracks in some games?

An alternative to using a modded xbox and data cds is to buy the "XboX Music Mixer" program, hook your xbox up to your pc and transfer mp3s straight to your hard drive.

While we're talking about the XBOX HD, how the hel do you move saves? A freind has the memory card (so he can bring saves with him) but couldn't seem to copy anything to it.

most games saves are too big to fit on the mem card. mem card is a joke imo

I agree but i do like having the memory card because it's decent, but definitly not big enough.
