Peenerhead, as of the last dashboard update (i think) you do not need to convert to mp3. Before the update my flac library would not play from my xbox, but now it will (only over the network as mentioned)... but yeah I guess your right there is no direct play support for it.
Peter: I didn't think about the decoding issue... good point. Expalins why files won't play directly as peenerhead mentioned.
on our work computers we all have absolutely no rights to install or uninstall most anything.. amongst MANY other restrictions on our work computers (don't get me started!)
Hell, even if you go to the control panel under add/remove programs you can not even remove any programs! they even somehow managed to block the use of USB flash drives (including cameras, phones, ect.) b/c they say there is some virus that people were spreading from flash devices. They did NOT block external usb hard drives with non-flash based memory though so I am in luck... maybe
Anyway, As long as I don't have to run an installation .exe file from my laptop then I think that it might work though... will give it a shot.
