BUG - Songs don't appear in Song selection for other gamertags

HypnoticPenguin 11-23-2008, 3:50 PM
We have two gamer profiles on my machine, one for me and one for my wife.  I've noticed that the two songs I've downloaded and paid for using my gamer profile do not appear in the 'Sing' section when signing in with my wife account!

What a load of tosh!  This needs sorting and sorting quick...

Anyone have the same issue?

Update -

Just noticed if I go into the Get Music section with my wifes account Lips recognises we've bought and paid for the two songs and there is an option to add both to the library and they both now appear.  So not a bug, but why they don't appear automatically I have no idea.

Perhaps I should've read the manual....oh wait I did and for what little there was of it was a waste of good paper!

I've tried the get music option but all the songs I've purchased aren't listed on another account- is there another workaround anyone is aware of?

If you press the select device button when in the song list on get music, if you change the device and press x it downloads it to whatever the other symbols are and then you can pick it up with your other profile.  Sorry I'm not very technical I just know that pressing the buttons works lol!

What worked for me was to log in my account (that paid for the songs) on a second controller.

Can you explain more clearly? I can't even get the DLC to show up while logged in to another Live account!

Thanks!

Figured it out...

Log into the Live account that you purchased the DLC with first.
Start Lips.
Now log in with the second account with another controller and use that controller to navigate to Get Songs.
You should now be able to see and add the new songs to the second account's list.

Stupid, but it worked. Hope this helps somebody else.

Now I just need to figure out how to transfer the licenses to the 3 songs I downloaded to my other 360 to this one.

You dont have to redownload the songs. here's the issue: All purchases on Xbox live are licensed to you in two ways. 1) the buying gamertag has a license 2) the console used to buy the item has another one. The first license is so you can use the item no matter which console you're playing on, but you need to be using that profile The second one is (preferbally) connected to your own console. if the second license is to a friends console or if the license has been damaged in any way you are able to repair/move the license to the console you wish to use. You move the second license via http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemuse/xbox360/licensemigration/ Note: moving the license is only available once every 12 months.
