Thought about putting this in the OS forum, but i'll try here first.

I've got my Xbox 360 connected wirelessly to my network. When i go to the Media section on the Xbox dashboard i can play all the music that's on my computer. However, when i try to use the Media Center extender capability it only sees a fraction of my music even though it's all in my the My Music directory. Granted, i moved the target for My Documents to another partition, but i can't understand why it only sees a portion of my music (like 500 songs instead of 2200). Is there a setting that i'm missing somewhere?

The Xbox can only play mp3, (no DRM) wma and maybe wav. Are they the right file format?

Yeah, most of my music is in either mp3 or unprotected wma format.
