I have a Zen Vision: M mp3 player. I know the iPod can be used on the XBox 360 for playing in game music, but I was wondering if the Zen can do the same thing. The Zen micro is hard drive based and uses the MTP protocol when connecting to PCs so I'm not too sure. I'm getting an 360 in the future so I would liek to know.

Seeing as how MTP was created by Microsoft I am pretty sure it will connect just fine. As far as I know, pretty much any USB storage device can be connected to the Xbox 360 USB ports to play music from.

It should. The iPod connects just fine...

Now, if you want to play more than music (video, pictures), you're screwed. The 360 can only stream video from the Zune.

But see that's the thing. The Zen Vision: M isn't a regular storage device. It uses some stupid new protocol BS. For instance, I tried connecting it to the PS3 and lo and behold, "Device not Recognized". But givin' what you guys think, I guess I shouldn't worry. I just don't like the idea of being short handed as I chose this thing over an iPod.

I didn't think you would have a problem but this suggests otherwise.. http://www.playsforsure.com/ItemDetail.aspx?id=162

*Update*
Several people on the xbox-scene forums confirm that they have one and it does infact work. http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=614884
