Finding duplicate songs

Over time, you may end up with a few songs that don’t show. This will mostly occur when installing multiple packs that share the same songs.

Rock Band 3 showing a song library that has 5 songs missing.

You can use Nautilus to help solve this problem.

Note

Please note that this is not the same thing as [songs not showing up due to ID problems].

1. Open Nautilus and select File Indexer.

   

2. Click on Add New Folder.

   

3. Go to where your Rock Band game data folders are.
   This will be dev_hdd0\game\BLUS30463\ for Rock Band 3 content and usually dev_hdd0\game\BLUS30050\ for Rock Band 1/2 content.

   

4. Enable PS3 Mode (check for songs.dta files) in the middle then click on Build Index.

   

5. Click Yes on the warning. As it says, it may take a while to scan.

   

6. After it finishes scanning, click on Tools at the top, then enable Find songs with ID conflicts.

   

7. The list at the bottom will now show you songs that have conflicts, usually caused by installing the same song.

   Note

   You may have to increase the window size to see all of the information.

   

8. While leaving File Indexer open, go back to the start page of Nautilus and select Quick Pack Editor.

   

9. Open a file browser window and navigate to the pack’s folder that contains the duplicates you want to remove.
   These are usually located in dev_hdd0\game\BLUS30463\USRDIR\.

   

10. Look for the songs.dta file. It will be in the songs folder, like USRDIR\[Pack Name]\songs.

    

11. Drag the songs.dta file into the Quick Pack Editor.

    

12. Change Quick Pack Editor to Edit DTA entries and pack contents.
    Select the songs you want to remove then click Remove selected.

    

13. When you’re done, click Save to apply changes.
