Just read about this in the new OXM... Sounds awesome, and actually upgrades your XBOX's jukebox. It's called the 'XBOX Music Maker,' will cost $39.99, and includes the following:

1) XBOX Music Maker Disc
2) Karaoke Microphone
3) PC -> XBOX Media adapter

The preliminary featureset of XBOX music maker?

* When ripping a CD to your XBOX, XBOX music maker automatically connects to the internet and downloads the track names and titles the songs

* Tons of new visualizers and dancing people to spice up your XBOX jukebox, along with new track mixing software to get your tunes sounding their best. Plus, DSP effects for your music if you want to spice it up a bit

* Ability to connect your XBOX to your PC so you can copy MP3s, WMAs, and other media to the XBOX with ease

* Ability to sing Karaoke with 12 included songs, or use XBOX music maker's Voice Cut filter to take the voice out of your favorite song... Sing Karaoke and record the result to your XBOX hard drive.

* Ability to download photos from your PC to your XBOX and show the photos as a slide show on your bigscreen TV.

More details:

*“‘Music Mixer’ unlocks the digital entertainment capability of Xbox,” Allard said. “‘Music Mixer’ demonstrates how we can use the Xbox to connect gamers to other favorite activities of the Digital Entertainment Lifestyle, enabling players to access DVD playback,* CD playback, photo viewing, gaming, music storage, online gameplay, enhanced party visualizers and even karaoke.”

*“Music Mixer” expands the way people play, share and interact with music, allowing any player to be a producer, VJ or American idol. Features include the following:

*With digital lyric-stripping technology, “Music Mixer” will provide a limitless karaoke experience, letting Xbox players sing along to millions of songs.

*Players can mix, match, shuffle and customize soundtracks, setting the mood for any situation. Players can enhance the music experience with the addition of interactive 2-D and 3-D on-screen visualizers.
