Buyer beware. The photo of this product shows a microphone and states it comes with a case and manual. My son order this and got a scratched disk in an envelope. No CASE, No Manual, and no microphone. Try to find someone to contact on the Amazon home page. Go Ahead I dare you. I will never purchase anything from Amazon again.

Who cares about the game

This is one of the worst games ever released for xbox, but thats not the point, the point to buy this game is that its the only way to transfer music and videos to you xbox without hacking it. So this is definately a primo choice for only 9 bucks. So if you want to transfer files to your xbox this is your one and only choice w/ out voiding your warrenty. Definate a worthy buy.

What a POS, do NOT waste your time

I was hoping to find a simple way to play mp3s across a network on the xbox. This product looked promising. I realized that it would not stream the music from a share but rather require importing, however I thought I would give it a try.

What a horrible, horrible product. I am giving it one star becauae it at least has potential.

Microsoft, listen up. This product sucks. Its interface is horrible, its too cludgy, doing simple things are not simple.

For instance, transfering songs onto the unit works with id3 tags. I hate this. Let it work with file names for frig sakes. I dont want to sort by album or genre, I want to be able to sort by folder!

Piece of crap. [...]

Avoid; Pricey and Disapointing

Terrible in almost every way. Not HD (as claimed), ugly UI, overpriced and poor quality karaoke tracks, difficult to use, and poorly integrated with existing Windows networks. This is a product that cries out for seamless integration with your home music library which the current Xbox deliberately avoids. The few karaoke tracks that are available are overpriced and not what anyone really wants to play with anyway.

Not what you would think

All the negative reviews...shame too...this is a great product to have FUN with. It might not be a great microphone or have a lot of songs but it has everything you need and more to have a good time.

Let me explain...

The microphone is not that great but it is good considering the price. Your not buying it for the microphone. Good Microphones don't come cheap but for the price this one is good.

The software itself is pretty freaking cool. It doesn't have a lot of songs for karaoke but you can strip the background off of the cd's you do have...and you can run this program without the disc so you can change CD's randomly without having to reload the program.

You can always buy Karaoke CD's from Wal-Mart or here at Amazon.com and use with it...it is cheap to do it that way and you can build an AWESOME collection of Karaoke CD's to use with this or on another CD player.

I paid 19.99 for mine and let me say for the price you can't beat it. I love it. I have used it more in the last few days than most of my games for X-Box.

Don't listen to those negative reviews, I am a musician (singer) and have been for most of my life. I tell you this product is worth it!

MP3 Importer Cloaked by Worthless Trash of a game.

My mother bought this for the family since it had to do with Karaoke and one could sing into a microphone and hear their voice out of the Television for all to admire or painfully listen through because they love you. And maybe do some of the many "options" available while you're at it. But the reason I liked this game is the option to import MP3's and WMA's onto the Xbox. Unfortunately, except for the importer, this game is a heedlessly made abnormality trying to make it on the karaoke scene. Be Warned: This game is NOTHING like the hit Karaoke Revolution on the PS2. In fact, it is not even close to it at all. Sadly, I am too late with this warning for consumers. So many of you are most likely disappointed with this game. But with the cheap genius that is Microsoft, they took out a page from a little game called Madden 2002. Where EA made very few changes to the game at all, yet they just put on the Madden trademark and they had turned trash into gold. Just substitute few changes to Windows-style eye candy and Madden trademark with an MP3 Importer, and you have a match made in heaven! And even worse than this is that people have bought this game and they will continue to buy this game only for the Importer. It is Sheer Madness!!!!

Pros: 1. The MP3 Importer (Finally fixes the infamous unreadable CD-RW problem on the Xbox)

2. Windows-Style Eye Candy (SO distracted)

Cons: 1. Windows-Style Eye Candy (SO hypnotizing)

2. Actual songs, but very cheesy versions of them (If we wanted this, we'd torture ourselves with Kidz Bop!!!)

3. Very Limited Video making capabilities.

4. Songs downloadable for $5 (like any poor sap would download them anyway?)

5. WIll cost more money for Peripherals for Importing (you first have to download the PC exporter off the internet (free), but the System link cable for connecting the two will cost you $30!)

6. And the worst sin of all for a Karaoke game: You can barely hear yourself out of the speakers!!!!!! Even with the mic set on the highest volume you still can barely hear yourself over the voices (hey, maybe they were saving the family members from certain torture) But as I said, Sheer Madness!!!!!

Final Verdict: The only reason you are ever going to come along this game in the future is for the MP3 importer and only for the MP3 Importer. This is NOT a party tool, that Abominaton that is named Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is a better party tool than this (Okay, maybe i'm stretching it way too far, let's just leave it at Halo) But yes, If you have MP3's and you want to put them on the Xbox, this is your only option (makes me sad to say that.)

XBOX Music Mixer: The Best Accessory for XBOX!

This is definately the best accessory for the XBOX! You can sing karaoke, play music, display your pictures in a slide show, and create raves! My favorite one is karaoke because my family always have a good time with it (and I as well). Make sure you have over 14,000 blocks on your XBOX hard drive! If you have an XBOX, GET THIS MUSIC MIXER TODAY!

Music Mixer is actually pretty good for a mere $20.

I don't know why this has received such a bum rap. For only $20 you get the ability to transfer your files to your xbox. Sure, MP3s take longer, but WMAs are pretty fast. Make sure to turn your firewall off or open ports TCP 3074 and UDP 3074 if you are using the wireless adapter and a router.

Also, the Karaoke is actually pretty fun. My kids and I hooked up the microphone and the xbox live headseat and had fun singing and then listening to the recorded performances. Most of the included songs are pretty bad, but there are a couple of good ones. The vocal stipper works OK too, or you can just sing along and not worry about it.

Again, this is only a $20 set-up, not a $200 Karaoke machine. I think it performs adequately given the price. Yes the controls can be confusing but the ability to share music files with the xbox is great and I've gotten $20 of fun out of this.

Kareokee at its best

I bought this software, an extra microphone, and $300 worth of songs off the internet (to be used with the kareokee feature). I have given it three stars because the $300 is a necessity if you want to make the kareokee feature worth using. There are over 35,000 songs to choose from off the internet and the songs represent a good cross section from rock classics to pop songs to rap. There are songs for everyone. Unfortunately, each song costs $2.00. This is very expensive considering most games cost at most $60. Transfereing the songs from your computer to your X-box can be a real pain if you do not have X-box live(note that whether you have a laptop or a desk top you will need a special data transfer wire that must be bought at extra cost if you do not use X-box live).

All in all, I find the kareokee to be great fun and I am glad that I bought this game. However, I can not recommend it for everyone since the game is extremely expensive to make it enjoyable to play with.

Don't waist your money

Everybody is saying that the reason why they bought this was to put their music on their Xbox, well I've got a better idea. Simply burn your music onto a CD-RW (not CD-R) and you will be able to play your music that was on your computer on your Xbox.
