Should exported LRB songs appear as LRB or DLC?

[SlaveOfAudio]

I have been debating this throughout the forums and few seem to see my point.

When Lego: Rock Band songs are exported into Rock Band 2, they show up as DLC - the same as any other DLC out there. This should not be the case. Like Rock Band 1, they should be tagged as being from a different location.

This includes:
1) Including LRB when sorting by location (RB1, RB2, LRB, DLC).
2) Including a LRB icon next to LRB songs, rather than the DLC arrow.

So, what do you think?

I'd like to see one person here who doesn't think they SHOULD be under a LRB category.

Where's the "I don't really care much" button?

How about a person who doesn't care where they are categorized?

*raises hand*

Obviously there's some reason why HMX didn't implement a separate location or icon for them. We don't know that reason, but that doesn't mean one does not exist.

Them showing up under DLC makes perfect sense, since they ARE downloaded songs, just like all of the other track packs.

Havent we had several threads about this? They will most likely show up as LRB-songs in RB3, but without a patch for the previous games they cant shop up as anything other than DLC at the moment. There is no LRB-icon in RB2, as it was made AFTER RB2.

Also, I would still like them with their own category, but I highly doubt that it's worth patching...

I'd like to just can export them to my RB2 XDDD
I can understand that you had no problem exporting, so you don't care (and that's how things go and how they have to. I'm not blaming you or somethinh like that) but as you may see I think (I HOPE ! XD) Hmx as a lot of work to do with the things we've paied for...I don't think they will "patch" what you're asking for

But yes I'd prefer them to be in my database as LRB songs (or at least to be in it XDDD)

I dont think they should. But it would be nice.

But since its DLC is shown as DLC. No big whoop.

It would be better if they were flagged as L:RB songs. The "they are downloaded songs" argument fails and is just pedantry of the highest order. But I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Get over it. Its DLC. Its doesnt fail in any way.

I don't think I have anything to get over (see in bold) but you seriously do.

Just to clarify in detail on how I perceive the issue:

I have no idea why they chose to make the "export" via downloading a pack but I do believe HMX call it a "Song Export Feature" on the card with the game which also states that "This insert includes a code that you will need if you want the ability to export the songs in Lego Rock Band to other Rock Band games."

The web page where we redeem the code is www.rockband.com/lego-export. Whilst this is not entirely true techically as you do not actually take the songs from the disc onto your hard drive, you download the songs onto your hard drive. Either way you would have needed Lego RB to do this. It would make more sense being that the songs origin are Lego RB to state as such in RB1 or 2.

RB1 or 2 will need a patch to have this feature as RB1 & 2 do not currently realise where the songs have come from. The same possibly would have happened if they were exported from the disc itself unless it had a patch included on the disc.

If HMX choose to do this, it will improve the song filters but if they don't I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
