Are there any other songs besides "Wanted Dead or Alive" that do not show up in the ready to install list and need to be searched for?

(Don't Fear) The Reaper is in there! "Enter Sandman" and the Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden covers aren't there of course,
They're all there. Reaper was the first song I played.

Was able to play In Bloom, which was the first song I played in RB1, and Suffragette City before I went to work today.
Does anyone else notice that the songs sound much clearer, and better than it did back on the 360? Everything just pops more.

Awesome news! I was concerned because for whatever reason the RB1 export wasn't showing up in my Xbox Live history for RB2 - but all of the tracks are there in the Manage Game menu. Downloading now!
Surprised there wasn't another 'Export Fee' come to think of it... I don't recall if we had to pay again to export RB1 songs into RB3 or if that export fee from RB1 to RB2 was a one time thing.

Export fees have always been a one time thing.
Super excited to play through these songs again! I know back in the day people criticized RB1 for being too easy but the song choices are still A+ for a music game set list.

Not seeing the RB1 export on my game. And yes, I did buy it back in the day. I exported RB1 into RB2. I have been able to export RB3.

Did you even read any of the posts? It's not located in the game yet, you gotta go to the games and apps in the dashboard, go to RB4, hit start, manage game and scroll all the way to the right.

Guitar and Vocals in "Welcome Home" sound noticably more distinctive than in the previous games mixes. I think they're preparing songs for the January patch sound fix by the looks of it. Will try out bass in a moment.
EDIT: Yup, bass in "Dani California" is better than previous games mixes too.

Holy crap! So stoked it's out! What to play first... Reptilia, Suffragette City, Wave of Mutilation, Main Offender, Maps.... fuck it, I'ma recreate my day-1 experience and play Say It Ain't So on medium.
If any fellow Xboners want someone to battle it out on their friends list feel free to add me: "Scapegoat NZ". I'm mid-level expert player.
Finally getting the full RB catalogue rebuilt in incredible!!! And all with harmonies/backing vocals!!! Can't wait for next group RB sesh.

I'm going to assume that these versions of the RB1 songs may also simply just be not as compressed as the disc exports, since they were copied straight from it, and RB1's disc mastering had to account for the PS2 and Wii..
Also, even RB3 fucked up how RB1 tracks sounded. They have static and pop when played in RB3 for me. Others had the same issue.

Yep, the RB1 songs had crackling in RB3, and I was sure it was because of the RB1 disc export being messed up.

Awesome! Good to know - this should mean that the RB2 import, whenever that comes, should work the same way. And for me personally, I'm hoping that it means even though both the RB 1 and 2 export don't show up on my account as having been purchased, that this means I won't have any issues with the RB2 export being available to me.
Also, agreed on the song choices for RB1. Some classics in there, and the majority are fun to play even if it isn't your cup of tea.

Welcome Home still has the greatest Big Rock Ending in the franchise.
I played RB1 so much, whenever I hear Black Hole Sun on the radio I always expect the BRE they stitched onto it

GOOD LORD! The Xbox One UI is absolute garbage! Sorry but I need to vent...
I go into RB4's manage content. I wait the 5-10 seconds while the list generates. I have to bumper all the way to the right side. You can't simply go left once and find yourself at the rightmost item (oh ho ho, but "conveniently" if you ever press up while scrolling the giant list it'll jump you straight back to the start! Just what I wanted!). Every time I press RB to flip to the next screen of items, there is a minimum 2 second delay as it loads the blocks in. I didn't realise the fast loading text lists for DLC on the 360 was so archiac?
I finally get to the right most side and see all the sweet RB1 tracks under ready to install! I hit install all and walk away! I come back and they're all downloaded and now nested with all the other downloaded and installed items. I boot RB4 - no new tracks. I rebuild cache - no new tracks. I go back to RB4 manage game, I scroll all the way to the right, again - I see all the RB1 tracks. I hit menu on one, go view info, it loads the store page info after 3-5 seconds, it then loads the status... "Install".... -_-....
So all of the RB1 tracks were downloaded, but not installed for some reason.... I now must access every single track manually using the dog slow "Manage Game" app, which also needs to load into the store app for EACH. INDIVIDUAL. FILE. 2/3 times when I switch to or from the Manage Game app it locks up completely requiring me to restart the app and wait a good 10 seconds before starting the entire process again (including swiping all the way to the right).
Who thought it was a good idea to replace text DLC titles with generic box graphics? WTF happened Microsoft?! How do you go from the 360 to the Bone! Sure it looks 10% nicer but it's so much clunkier!!!

Unfortunately the RB1 tracks are only available to those who exported RB1 songs into RB2 back in the day.
Ok, well what if I still have my RB1 and RB2 discs for the 360? Can I still do it?
nope. RB2 export expired years ago, and the RB1 export expired the week before RB4 released.

I still don't understand why they tacked a BRE onto Here It Goes Again of all songs.

You had 7+ years to export RB1, and 5 years for RB2. Licenses expire, they don't go on forever.
Well I determined that I exported 1 into 2, but I guess I needed to export 2? I never owned 3. I'm just confused. I understand the licensing stuff, just had no idea they had expired. I just bought RB4 and heard that all the old RB stuff I owned would export into it. So, just kind of a bummer.
RB1 was "let's put BREs on all the things"

They would've put one on Stairway if they had gotten the license.

2 you can't export anymore, but if you still have a 360, you can get RB3 used, play it for a bit, then you could export that.

Naaaaah. It's up there, but that prize has to go to Foreplay/Long Time. It's one of the extra BREs added that feels natural. Also it's awesome. But I may be biased, it's one of my favourite songs of all time.

Given the way that some songs ended in later games, I wish they still carried on with this. Runnin' Down a Dream feels so empty compared to its GH5 ending.
The BRE on The Hand That Feeds is the worst.

If you exported RB1 into RB2 back in the day, then you should have access to the RB1 tracks now on Xbone.
You should also be able to still export the RB3 tracks by getting your hands on a copy and playing it until you unlock an achievement, and then accessing the RB3 export option in the RB4 store > exports.
Wired pheripherals will probably never work with Xbox One consoles. So no.
Oh I thought that's what the adaptor thing was for, well I think I'll just go buy a 360 and RB3 instead.
That's for wireless instruments. Wired don't work because of some changes within the infrastructure of the XONE, which is something an adapter obviously can't fix.
This is not true from my experience. I bought the $5 RB1 export key off the Xbox marketplace the week RB4 came out and I'm currently downloading all the RB1 songs. Never owned Rock Band 1 let alone exported it in the past.

Hey, I love Foreplay Longtime ending too
But I absolutely love the final notes hit after the ending in Welcome Home.

It finally drops when we are between paychecks, bah.
Ah well, I can wait
It's free? I just downloaded them. Didn't pay a dime.

Please forgive me for committing the cardinal sin of expecting it to work the same way as the RB3 export did.
Mr. Enigma, You should know not to always judge things at face value and to take in all clues before making assumptions.
