Bookmarks are an important aspect of My Music. Setting bookmarks allows you to easily access all your digital music collection from media such as:
- On your computer or a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device/system, which supports SMB file sharing
- Stored directly on the hard drive of your Xbox
- On CDs/DVDs in the Xbox DVD drive
- Streamed from the Internet

Listing Modes available in My Music
Files ViewFiles View is the most basic way of browing your music. In Files View, you browse through your bookmarks folder by folder, in the exact same way that they are stored. What you see in Files View is the same as you would see if you were to view the folders on your computer. |
PlaylistsPlaylists are also fully supported. Click here for more information
Album Art & Thumbnails
The same goes for playlists, cue-sheets, SHOUTcast, and internet-stream files, eg: Music\path\audioplaylistname.m3u Music\path\audioplaylistname.tbn Music\path\cuelistname.cue Music\path\cuelistname.tbn Music\path\shoutcastlinkname.pls Music\path\shoutcastlinkname.tbn Music\path\audiostreamname.strm Music\path\audiostreamname.tbn If you store each of your music-albums or artists in a separate subfolder to keep things organized, you can also make the folder have a custom thumbnail image. To do this you need to rename your .jpg thumbnail as folder.jpg and place it in the folder (the size of the picture can be anything from 64x64 to 256x256 in pixel size). Example: Music\path\album\folder.jpg Now your album/artist folder will have a lovely custom thumbnail-image. |
