Before discovering the official DLC and adding them, I was trying to add the on-disc songs (from the Wii disc versions of older Rock Band titles). MOGGs from RB1 and the Track Packs were pretty easy to add, as it didn't take much to circumvent the encryption. All I had to do was open the MOGGs in Audacity to manipulate them and resave them in whatever format I chose, in order to convert them either back to MOGGs (with MahoppianGoon's program to add the encrypted header back in - doesn't always work) or to Bink Audio format (with StackOverflow0x's wonderful RockBiink program over at Customs Creators' forums).

However, with the disc that were made with the same game engine that was used to develop Rock Band 2, a strange `HIBE` header appears when viewing the BIK files. I never managed to get around it - at one point, I "borrowed" already encrypted RB2 MOGGs from another source, in order to add RB2 songs to RB3, but it would be better to use the on-disc songs I have legitimately, especially for LEGO Rock Band and The Beatles: Rock Band, both which have the same encryption.

I know it has been done, but I haven't discovered how, yet. Anyone who has any idea how to get past this encryption, I welcome their findings.
