Did you initialize the USB stick on the XBox?

I did, and copied my A/V settings and TU5 to it. Windows Explorer sees that there's Xbox 360 data on it, but Modio won't.

This worked perfectly.

However, after testing the custom songs, all my RBN tracks show as "DEMO" on the artwork. Is this a sign that I need to a license transfer, or is this normal? Yeah, this is definitely a license transfer issue.

Also, the game prompted me to re-do A/V settings - is there a way to tell RB3 to load the ones on my USB drive, or did I do something wrong?

I would like to use this post to say that I am in love with you. Rain is probably the number one song I wanted in Beatles Rock Band that didn't make the cut and I am so excited that I'll be able to play it sometime in the future.

I finally got around to getting customs to work, and it's amazing work all around. The fact that I can basically just bring up a thumb drive to a friend's place and almost plug and play it is awesome. And seeing as I started the whole plastic instruments genre with Guitar Hero 3, it's even better that I can get some of my favorite songs from there into Rock Band.

Also, Time and Stairway to Heaven. :2bong:

You guys are seriously making me consider picking up a 360 just so I can have the custom songs for vocals. But then I'd have it on a different console than all my DLC... :(

So I lied! And also figured out a solution of sorts.

First; from what I can tell there is a limit of 256 files in a given folder in the USB programs that I've tried. This limit does not exist on the console itself. This method of renaming the folders doesn't really change that; the reason I thought it did was because I missed a bunch of files adding my second time through.

So my solution is to leave the big USB stick on the 360 at all times, and have a smaller one to load up with new stuff, then copy it over on the 360. Dumb, but it works!
For some reason, I've injected about 370 files now and have yet to encounter this issue. Anyone know why that might be? I'd like to help people out, but I'm not sure what I'm actually doing differently that's allowing me to sidestep the issue.

I've been injecting via Party Buffalo this entire time, into the same original save folder. The songs all show up in the Xbox storage menu in the dashboard. If I load up Rock Band with my regular save and then reboot with my customs save, my in-game song library increases by 370+, just like it should. Any ideas?

I've seen this issue reported on multiple forums, so it seems pretty widespread.

I can't agree more, but out of all the friends I've had over to play Rock Band, maybe because we're all 90s kids, Flagpole Sitta is the most glaring omission. Really, Harmonix has been great to us with all the 90s one-hit wonders and all.

If this isn't charted by this summer, I've vowed to do it myself as a summer project. I'm a G/B/V player and I have a drummer who's willing to take a spin on my e-kit to lay down a baseline we can go back and clean up with a fine-tooth comb. I've always admired custom chart creators and damnit if Harmonix isn't going to release this song someone should.

A few. Off the top of my head, Bon Jovi "Keep the Faith," Pat Benatar "Hell is for Children," or literally anything off of Live's The Distance to Here album.

I haven't checked out any list of available customs because that's a great way to give into stupid temptation, so watch all of these songs be available already!

They aren't available already, but I'm in for "Hell is for Children". Late summer, give or take.

Things that pain me are not in Rock Band:

Bush - Swallowed (also Glycerine)
Sponge - Wax Ecstatic
Hum - Stars
Better than Ezra - Good
Republica - Drop Dead Gorgeous (also Ready to Go)
Semisonic - Closing Time
Cardigans - Lovefool
The Outfield - Your Love
Prince - I Would Die 4 U (and more Prince, so much more Prince)

Finch, Our Lady Peace, Brand New, Stars, Motion City Soundtrack would be nice, too :3:

See what you have done to this thread Nyxyxylyth?

I could list every artist in my library, but someone please make Quicksand's "A landmine spring" happen, turns out I'm way to lazy to do it myself. (or maybe I'm waiting for creators.rockband.com to be up again).

I wonder if RBN will be a thing again when/if creators goes back up, they were still releasing some fun songs (for me Terror and Dillinger) once every few weeks before creators went down.

The Simpsons said it best. I love you Dr. Zaius!

Seriously though, there's a couple artists/groups that I hoped would get the Rock Band treatment but didn't, or are missing a track or two that I'd love to see. Except I can't actually think of them off hand mostly because it's been ages since I played RB at all. Hell, I mostly just played the Guitar charts when I did because I mostly played (the good) Guitar Hero games and actually played Guitar Freaks (Konami's Guitar Game, along with it's Drum counterpart: Drum Mania) way back before GH was a thing (and still do every now and then) and whenever I played Drum Mania (and still do when I try/play), my arms got way too tired too fast and I still can't handle separating arm and leg movement for the Bass Pedal properly. :sigh:

But yeah, if only I actually had more room for all the instruments and people to play it with, I'd pick up Rock Band again. Especially with the GH Conversions and the customs.

Looks like my summer just freed up. I'll have to think of another song to pore over. Is there a list of songs-in-progress? Preferably not on ScoreHero, because for some reason it always says I am banned but I've never posted there.

Edit: Alright, new song. "Double Vision" by Foreigner.

Yay! It's got a great guitar solo, too, though I don't know if I need to be buying plastic instruments for a second console.

And, IF anyone randomly decided they'd want to try anything off that Live album, I do have the guitar book for it. Wouldn't help on bass line or drum stuff, but it's got everything for vocals, guitar, and the harpsichord solo in The Distance.

Between the harmonies project, more Beatles, and Guitar Hero stuff, though...I'm going to keep my eyes open for a 360.

I just did it earlier this week and it's easy as pie. Basically, format a thumb drive with the Xbox, copy your cache file to it, inject the Title Update 4, and the songs, and you're done. That's the really simplified version though.
