Huh, weird. I guess Green Day will end up doing the same, marking all the individual DLC as owned instead of just being a big pack.
Not sure what they'd end up doing for RB1/2/Lego though, since those aren't all available as DLC.

My adapter arrived. Unpacking it now.
Can those exports start showing up on Xbox? Metal Track Pack, too, please.

How come PS4 is getting exports before Xbone? That's just so wrong!
Anyone in the UK looking to buy a Guitar Bundle on XBO?
It's been used a handful of times, the guitar still has all original protective stickers on it and is in perfect condition.
Comes in original box and will come with a sealed copy of the game.
Reason for the sale is my legacy adapter bundle comes tomorrow so no longer need this.

Finally fixed the issue I had with the RB2 drums!
Reinstalled the game, recalibrated manually but using the drums this time, and now it works as expected. Not sure if something got fucked up in the preload or what, but anyway YAY
Probably if they didn't break streak I'd like them better.
On PS4 using PS3 guitars Autocalibration does *not* work.
I guess that green is for tracks having issues on XO and blue for PS4?
RB1 is technically expired, but haven't removed the Key from the stores for some reason.
- How do I use multiple mics on RB4 PS4? To use multiple mics on PS4 you have to plug them in AFTER you boot the game.
- Autocalibrate with my RB1/2/3 guitar on PS4 is garbage. Yes, it's not working with legacy guitars, have to calibrate manually.
- Link for the PS+ preorder tracks: https://store.playstation.com/#!/en...ndle/cid=UP8802-CUSA02084_00-RB4USPREORDERDLC
I had a couple more that I can't recall right now, will requote if I do
RB2 - export is dead, pray that someone in EA support gives you a code. Need a PS3 to redeem.
RB3 - no export (yet)

The cymbals were dirt cheap ($15) for a long while on amazon a couple of years ago, I know because that's when I got them
I was looking for this, thanks!
Autocalibration worked fine in RB2/3 for me, it doesn't work in 4 PS4 using legacy instruments though, which sucks.
Yeah, I thought I'd like them, but went to Static fills so fast
Probably if they didn't break streak I'd like them better.
Which console?
On PS4 using PS3 guitars Autocalibration does *not* work.
Run the calibration using the drums, it made a difference to me at least.
Seems pretty accurate.
I guess that green is for tracks having issues on XO and blue for PS4?
Wait, the X360 instruments didn't have an on/off switch like PS3 ones did?
Yup, a new copy was dirt cheap for the longest of time on amazon too.
Except for Blitz.
RB1 is technically expired, but haven't removed the Key from the stores for some reason.
Yes, you should have an export key and/or export pack in your download list.
Hah, seriously.
It is in the OP, and not reading the OP is bannable, but no mod is reading the thread I think.
I like it, I'd add:
- How do I use multiple mics on RB4 PS4? To use multiple mics on PS4 you have to plug them in AFTER you boot the game.

Yes, the RB2 manual came with either a 12-digit code or 16-digit code (can't remember the reason why you'd get one or the other). If you got the 12-digit one you could just input it in RB3 and be done with it, if you got the other one you had to go to a specific website which would then give you the export code (and said website has been dead for years)
I'm guessing that most people back then didn't mind switching discs so they never did it.
It annoyed me greatly, exports FTW
That difference makes me wonder how are they going to handle the RB3 export if it happens.
You got lucky, for most the RB2 code that got with their game was an intermediate one (ie, doesn't work directly in console's store), so the contact with EA is needed.
Man, you are on a roll on finding stuff on the store
RB1 - buy the key from PSN, link in the OP. No PS3 needed.
RB2 - export is dead, pray that someone in EA support gives you a code. Need a PS3 to redeem.
RB3 - no export (yet)
The only delisted content that is showing up for me is the one that appeared last weekend (Electric Six, etc), nothing else
Blood Sugar Sex Magick, Snow (Hey Oh), Tell Me Baby and probably others I can't remember at the moment.
For some reason, after purchasing selecting a song on the ingame store brings up that instead of a redownload page. Check your download list, the tracks should be there.
No, that's when you get the three loading dots. The no content found thing after purchase is just some bad design
Nice, will try this when I get home.
Because reading is hard.
Those are the songs that haven't been updated for PS4, or have some issue. The only option is just to wait.
I think LRB and GDRB could be exported on RB2, as those tracks show up in that game. Not sure how the process was, since I exported them from RB3.

What's the difference between the different types of drum fills? No ION support means I can't play drums yet, so I don't know.

So does Xbox have Dinosaur Jr.? Someone on reddit was posting a freestyle solo and I don't see it on my PS4 - I really want Feel the Pain haha
Feel the Pain was a RB3 track, the other 2 songs are delisted and not up on Xbox One yet.

Hey guys, I pre-ordered this on the playstation store but I'm not a plus member. Should I still get the pre-order songs? I got the theme at least..
Problem is I haven't gotten the songs but I can't buy them either. It says "You already own Rock Band 4 Pre-Order".
I just want 'Throne' man..

I think I'm done with these drums until they manage to fix them. Nearly failed The Wolf at the the ending drum roll, then proceed to fail The Feast and the Famine at the, you guessed it, ending drum roll.
Sucks that the whole reason I got the BIAB was to replace my busted RB1 drums :/

THE DEFINITIVE RB4 EXPORT POST
I want to export RB1 to RB4. What do I do?
Buy the key off PSN while you still can. Then, you wait. When exports get implemented into RB4, you'll presumably have everything you need.
But I heard you need a RB1 disc to export the songs!
You need a RB1 disc to export the songs to the PS3 hard drive for use in other PS3 RB games. This of course won't be possible on the PS4 and happens entirely locally on your PS3 system, so Harmonix will presumably use only your purchase of the key when deciding your eligibility to obtain the RB1 tracks on RB4. In short, the RB1 disc will not be necessary.
What if I already exported RB1 tracks to RB2 and/or RB3?
You already have everything you need. The discussion about buying the key is among people who did not originally do so. Rest assured, you're good.
I want to export RB2 to RB4. What do I do?
You're gonna need a copy of RB3, first of all. Then, you're gonna have to contact EA support and try and convince them to give you an export code. After that, you'll use the export code in the Get More Songs menu inside RB3. You'll be prompted to pay 10$, and after that, you should be good.
Do I need to download the RB2 songs to my PS3 after purchasing the export key? I don't have enough hard drive space!
That's inconsequential. You don't have to.
EA says they've stopped supporting Rock Band and to contact Harmonix.
This is essentially true, but regardless, they do have access to export codes for whatever reason, and they're your only opportunity to get one.
No matter what I say, EA support won't give me a code! What do I say?
People have reported numerous things to say to support to help achieve the code, but it more often than not seems like luck. Be persistent, be respectful, and hope you get a helpful agent. Many times, people have reported being told no consistently, only to be given the code immediately without hesitation by the next agent.
I already exported RB2 to RB3. Do I need to get a key?
You do not! The original way to export RB2, as I'm sure you remember, was to use the code from the manual at a Harmonix website which would generate a download code that you could then put in RB3. The keys we're hassling EA for are those download codes. You've already completed that step and you're good.
What about the track packs? The AC/DC track pack, too!
EA has access to those codes as well, but reports of people successfully obtaining one are few and far between. Your mileage may vary.
UPDATE The track packs are now being rolled out across PSN and Xbox. I will edit this with links soon, but feel free to check out the last few pages of the thread for links.
What about Green Day Rock Band?
For whatever reason, it would appear that EA is all but out of these codes. Again, your mileage may vary.
How do I redeem track pack and Green Day Rock Band codes?
The same way you redeem RB2 export codes-- through RB3. I'm sure a few of them can be exported to RB2 instead, but I'm frankly not sure which. The result is the same.
What about Lego Rock Band?
WB was issuing replacement codes until a few months ago, but they've since stopped completely and have shown no signs of compromise. For all intents and purposes, it's impossible to export Lego Rock Band now.
I already exported Lego Rock Band! Does that mean I can't use those songs in RB4?
Not at all! You're the lucky few, the proud. You will be able to play Lego Rock Band tracks in RB4 when that's available. Please share your account with me so I can play Free Fallin'. :x
What about Rock Band Blitz?
I've got good news! Rock Band Blitz export now works. In my case, I simply went onto my PS3 and opened Rock Band Blitz back up. It asked me to download the soundtrack again, and when I initiated the download, it updated the PS4 entitlement on my PSN account and I was able to access the songs individually (not as a pack!) on RB4. Please let me know if this works on the Xbone.
When and how can I get the exported songs on my RB4?
It's frankly unclear when and how, but the few track packs that have been released showed up as packs on the webstore. Anyone who was entitled to them is able to push the downloads to their PS4 from there. How these will be rolled out onto the in-game store is unclear, as is whether or not that will apply to the remainder of the exports. I'll update this answer as the process refines.

Conventional Lover was an on-disc track. Theoretically, if you got the 30 bonus songs, it should be one of them, but I don't think they're working yet.
Thanks for the heads up, if the keys still work you can get all of them from Amazon.
Now to just wait for:
Track Pack Vol 2
Metal Track Pack
A/C Live Track Pack
I'm even more glad I got these and then flipped them on Goozex back in the day.

I wonder if this includes Death From Above.
I have the other tracks that were pre-order only bought already, and its the only one left that I want.
EDIT: PS PLUS pre-order....so a big no.

So my Amazon preorder songs appear to be broken on XB1. I downloaded them, yet most of them still show in my ready to download and I can't delete the few that have been downloaded. My old DLC shows in game, but none of the preorder stuff does.
The Amazon pre-order tracks are more than likely next week's DLC.

After unistalling, I power cycled my XBONE (turn off, unplug). This caused the uninstalled tracks to vanish from my DLC list, allowing me to download working versions.
This only works for the digital preorder tracks.
The retail preorder tracks are broken. (they can't be downloaded from the store anyways)

Hmm. I've seen the Amazon exclusive tracks in the XBox Store, so this method may still work for those four tracks.
Maybe, but that still leaves 26 someodd broken tracks.
Because it's a toy guitar.
The more expensive ones are full neck length (Beatles, precision bass etc)
And are highly uncomfortable to use.

I'm about to go attempt a return; I've never regretted a purchase this much before. My previous set of plastic instruments were comprised of two GH5 guitars and my Ion kit, so going back to the "new" instruments was a huge let down. Everything feels like it's somewhere in between Rock Band 1 and 2 equipment. Seriously, what happened to the level of polish the Rock Band 2 and Beatles instruments had? I was really hoping that they had stepped it up for this, but like the game itself that's clearly not the case.
I kind of just brushed that off and hoped actually playing it would change my feelings, but nope. A ton of my DLC is completely broken or just not there, I can't get an import tool for RB2 despite trying several times with EA, and it's not even possible to import songs from my three favorite titles (Beatles, Lego and RB3). The drum calibration feels inexplicably horrible. The setlist for the base game is shockingly uninspired, especially compared to previous entries *cough*RB3*cough*.
Not a great way to get people back in to the genre, Harmonix.

I just made 2 dozen PSN purchases to get all the stuff purchased. Picked up the game today, finally.
When new files are correctly marked as free, what's the easiest way to find those to purchase for redownloading? I can't peruse all 60 pages on the PSN webstore every week.

I know the game says to plug in microphones AFTER the game has booted (but that may only apply to using harmonies)
Great Export FAQ btw! Also, LEGO and Green Day were both exportable into RB2, as was AC/DC. I believe these were all done via PSN/XBL codes from the back of the manual, but it's been forever since I've done that.

I did but don't stop believing though, but can't find it on the web store or in game. What gives?
And is there a blitz export that doesn't require a ps3? Because I don't have one anymore
Edit: also I can't get my second kick pedal to work
They both work as the main one but as soon as it's connected, nothing

It was delisted years ago, and while it should be put up on the current-gen systems eventually, few of the delisted tracks are available for RB4 at this time.

Yup. For me specifically, that one and the Offspring one are the only ones I own that aren't working. Queen lets you buy but not download, and Offspring gives you an error when you try to buy.
If anyone is interested the Chevelle pack is mispriced at $1.99. It was never a part of the sale because it was RB3 dlc.
