Custom Soundtrack

[ERIC11940]

Hello ForzaPlanet, I'm ERIC11940 from GTPlanet. I was a member of that site sense 2006, and when I heard that GTP had a sister site, I thought I should join.

Anyway's, I wanted tell you guy's about Forza 4's soundtrack. Do you think that Forza Motorsport 4 should have the ability to create your own custom soundtrack like in Gran Turismo 5? It will be awsome if Forza 4 did have one.

With the Xbox you don't need a custom soundtrack, you can listen to any song at any time....

You can. Pretty much any xbox game you can have your own music. All you have to do is import a cd or plug in a usb devic (zune, cellphone, USB stick.) Then click your dashboard button, scroll right, and select your music. Only thing is though, youd have to set your ingame music to 0%

Not if you import a CD and play it from your hard drive. It automatically cancels out any in game music. (I haven't played a game where it didn't anyway)

I can't race with music playing. Not too loud anyways. So I can plug in my iPod providing I have a usb plug connection for it?

 

[HELLAFLUSH240SX]

Yes you can, in fact iPods work better than some other music devices.
When I plug in my iPod it loads the songs and albums a lot faster than with, lets say my phone.

Ive been using my girlfriends Zune. I set ingame music to 0 becuase i wasnt sure if it would play over the Forza 4 soundtrack, or cancel it out. Either way thanks for clearing that up

Mine automatically cancels out the in-game music. I used to use TVersity but now I just media share with Windows Media Player 11.

My Xbox used to play my stuff with my iPod classic, but doesn't even recognise my iPod touch other than to charge it

But you need to play the music before entering the game, isn't it?

Nope - at any time you just bring up the guide by pressing the ''x' in the middle of the controller and go to the music tab !

In my experience any FAT-formatted resource should work. Presumably Zunes would also be compatible with Xboxes too.

It only appears to play mp3 format files. Probably will handle WMA format as well if anyone is still using this.
