Well forrestmaster you're problem seems to be unique I wouldn't worry about backing up you're music as this can be done after the softmod occurs via FTP
Do you have a massive amount of music on your XB? I think that the softmod should work just fine if problems occur delete the music on the XB that you already have on CD or other HDDR devices you can put these back on by converting to WMA on your PC and then FTPing back to E/music quicker than doing it just with the XB

Both CASH and forrestmaster let me know how you got on and please bang a thanks on the original post of the Tut if you think it deserves it, so folk know it's worth reading/attempting
