The Rock Band Music Store is an addition to the video game Rock Band provided via a downloadable patch. It allows users to buy downloadable content within the game. The redesigned interface also allows for multiple ways of sorting songs in the catalog, including by artist, difficulty, and genre. It also provides more additional information, including album art, difficulty information, and a short preview.

Try Before You Buy
One of the biggest problems with downloading new songs for Rock Band via Xbox 360 or Playstation 3's dashboards was that you could not hear what you were buying. This was a particularly big problem with songs that were not performed by the orginial artists: oftentimes users would find themselves with a version of the song they did not like, or downloading song without being sure they'd want them. The Rock Band Music Store changed all that; by selecting "Preview", a small snippet of the song is downloaded, allowing the user to hear a little bit of the song before they decide whether they want to purchase it. Though they can't yet play it, it the store does offer difficulty ratings for each individual instrument and for a whole band, giving users a much better idea of what they get when they purchase a song or bundle of songs. -
