I have DL'd a bunch on songs and want to Dl some more, but My wii is out of blocks of memory.
So can songs be saved to the sd card and run from there. Or do i have to have them in the wii system memory to play them?
what do you guys do with alot of songs, just put in the few you want to play that day?

The songs can be on your SD card and you'll still be able to play them. It's actually easier to have them there, since it frees up the Wii's internal memory, lessening the risk for data corruption.
There's no need to worry about what songs you want to have that day unless your SD card runs out of space.

The songs run live from the SD card when they're on there.
You should be able to remove them from the Wii's system memory and then re-download them to your SD card. Just make sure your SD card is in when you start the game and you select the option to save to the card to avoid any possible mishaps.
I've never gone through this process (I started out with an SD card), so I'm not 100% sure about what I'm saying, but I'm confident that the songs will always show as purchased and you can re-download them at will.

Delete all the songs that are on your Wii System Memory in the RB2 Music Store and redownload them to an SD. Anything you've paid for you can delete and redownload at no cost.
For songs to work off of the SD Card, you must have at least 200 blocks of free Wii Memory at all times... As RB2 does not 'run' the song directly off of the SD, but simply makes a temporary copy on the Wii Memory between loading songs. They are simply stored on the SD.
I have 63 songs on a 2GB SD (the Wii's max supported card), follow these guidelines and you should be fine. Rock on!
