Default NHL 09 Custom Soundtracks

Anyone else use this on the 360?
Anyone else have problems?

Mine is the sound is so low you can't hear it at all without turning everything else way down.

Why does this happen? The sounds I have are just fine when I play them regularly...

Everyone has that problem, hopefully they fix it in an update. Along with the other host of problems that comes with an EA NHL game

My thought is that the custom music has a low volume as to not drown out the announcer in game.

Slightly OT, but how do you add music to your playlist so you can use songs in the game? Do you have to connect through a pc? I have music on a USB drive and an Ipod and while they would play fine normally, it wouldn't let me save the songs to the hard drive and put on a playlist, which the EA feature requires

Actually I just went through this headache yesterday. The only way I could figure out how to store music from my computer on my xbox was you have to burn an "audio Cd". If you just burn MP3's to a cd the xbox wont read it.

By the way if it helps anyone, I found a page on IGN, someone made a file of songs to put in the game. On the link below scroll down to the 12th posting there is a link, you can select then to download in winrar or winzip.

Thanks for the custom soundtrack link, InSutterWeTrust. I'll give it a shot and see what songs that package has. I don't have a huge problem with the EA TRAX (or whatever EXTREME TO THE MAX name EA came up with for the game's soundtrack) but it gets a little repetitive having "WE ARE THE WARRIORS OF TIME!" beaten into my brain every few whistles.

I use TVersity to stream music and vids to my 360, thanks to this helpful post from Igottago. It's not that hard to set up - just read the FAQ for it - and so far, it seems to have less issues with detecting files on one of my network drives, loads files faster, and with less buffering.

As for the sound being so low, yeah...not much you can do about that, aside from using GoldWave or something to jack up the volume of your audio files, and turn up the arena music slider/turn down some of the others, as someone already mentioned. Even then, it can still be hard to hear, but that can be explained away (in my head, at least) by the fact that this is supposed to be a TV broadcast, of sorts...the music isn't going to be 100% clear.

Ya, thats what all the google searches came to. I was hoping for another way. Who owns audio Cds anymore??

Me! The sound quality is much better than downloads, also there's no darn DRM.

CDs still rock!

I've never really noticed quality difference but I have heard that before. Does that apply to mp3s that have been ripped from original cds?

AFAIK, anything other than WAV, FLAC and Apple Lossless are "lossy" and therefore of a reduced quality.

I refuse to listen to mp3s of any kind, unless I can't get the file in any other format. They just sound crappier to me.

I figured it out - if you are running a home network, just make playlists in your Windows Media Player, and the XBox will recognize them, AND let you insert them into your custom audio without having to copy songs to your HDD.
