Did anything change with the customs that I’m not finding anything about?

I had a USB drive of 50gbs of customs and it worked for a couple years now. I haven’t played in a few months and I come back to the game giving me a “unreadable disc” error.
I thought it was the USB drive gone bad because when I loaded the game normally off the xbox harddrive it would work fine. But I put some custom songs on a different USB drive and I’m getting the same “unreadable error”. Is there a new step I’m missing or did something happen? Because I didn’t touch the xbox after 2 years of everything playing fine.
you prob got tu update 5 by accident. hunt it down delete it
I tried multiple USB drives and I even reformatted the xbox hard drive.
It even asks me when I start the game if I want to download title update #5 and I say no everytime.
If I reformat everything and try fresh again, it registers the custom songs off the USB and then the “Unreadable Disc” error pops up when it starts loading the list of custom songs.
Do you think the xbox harddrive could be dying?
Can A corrupted custom file do this? And How could I find it?
A corrupted custom can cause crashes. I remember this was an issue with one particular custom when C3G was released, though I don’t remember the exact error it was giving.
If you wanted to test for this, unfortunately, your best bet is to backup and remove every custom you’ve got, then install one and see if it throws the same error. If if it doesn’t, then it’s possibly one of your other customs, and I’d reinstall and test them in batches. With a larger library (like your 50gb one), this will take a while, but if it is a corrupt custom giving you a hard time and you re-add them in batches it’ll be easier to narrow down which custom is giving you a problem.

Yea, thanks. It was a corrupted song. I had to slowly eliminate songs by alphabetical order. It took hours, but its all working like it should. Thanks for your guys help.
Okay, so this is weird. I loaded the songs on to a USB drive by letter. So All customs startings with “A” and load up rockband 3.
Everything went smoothly and I stopped at S. I assumed all songs from A-S are perfectly fine. So I put them on a USB drive and load them up, then I get the unreadable error prompt.
It seems like I’m only getting it when I load a certain amount of songs.
Most probable cause: you have a song that is fucking shit up and you have to find that song and delete it (or fix it). Could also be multiple songs.

Yea, its really frustrating because I added all my custom songs batch by batch according to letter and they all work. But as soon as I put them all on the flashdrive it gives me the unreadable error.
So either, BOTH usb drives are not reading the songs fast enough and tricking the xbox to skip or there are songs that are conflicting with each other when loading together, but work when they are loaded separately.
I really needed to ask though, Can any of you guys tell me what conflict could be making this happen in terms of the songs.
Because, I haven’t played Rockband 3 for 2 months. But What I have been doing is checking the customs database and downloading songs that I like for the past 2 months and adding them to the drive.
Is it possible that someone uploaded a bad custom and I added it? I can try to remove every song I’ve added in the past 2 months and try it, but my problem isn’t a song thats corrupt it seems. Its a song that is conflict with another song.
Songs can have the same ID, or same smallname. The ID is what’s used to identify the song in your savegame and when playing online, valid ones are numerical only, this ID is located in the songs.dta file, variable song_id. Smallnames are the names used for the folder of the song and the files, it’s also at the top of a DTA entry. On xbox these files are inside the CON file.
I’m not sure in the specific case of xbox, but having any duplicate of those can cause problems on any version of RB3.

To add onto this: If you do narrow it down to two (or more) songs that conflict for this reason, they should be by the same author, and it’s worth popping them a PM to let them know they’ve got conflicting ID’s. The C3 Control Panel gives a notification if it detects duplicate ID’s, but not every author uses the control panel and might not be aware.
