What are Rocksmith 2014 Custom Songs (CDLC)?

Rocksmith 2014 custom songs, or CDLC, are community uploaded songs that you can download and import into your Rocksmith 2014 software. “Community” means “amateur” uploads, which means that anyone can do it, and as a result, the quality of the song files can vary drastically. For this reason, if the song you’re seeking is available in the Rocksmith 2014 Store, then you should purchase it there because the quality will be guaranteed perfection. If that’s not an option for you, then Rocksmith 2014 custom songs (CDLC) might be the option for you.

Is it Free?

Yes, Rocksmith custom songs, aka custom downloadable content (CDLC) is free to download and install, but there is one small catch.

You must purchase at least one song from the Rocksmith 2014 Shop in order to be able to install custom songs. Most songs will cost about $3.00.

You can think of this as basically purchasing a one-time “key” that is required in order to unlock all other custom songs. After you purchase this one song, then you will be able to import any custom song for free.

Does it Matter Which Song is Purchased?

It does not matter which song you buy because they all will enable you to import free Rocksmith custom songs CDLC. However, I do recommend that you purchase Smashing Pumpkins-Cherub Rock, whether you like this song or not.

I assure you that I’m not a Smashing Pumpkins promoter or something. The reason I recommend this specific song is due to technical reasons, which I will address later on.
