Rocksmith 2014 CDLC Freeze on PC: A Simple Solution for Organizing Your Customs

As a Rocksmith 2014 player, you're likely familiar with the hassle of managing custom DLC files. With so many varied and seemingly random filenames floating around, it can be overwhelming to keep track of your songs. That's why I created a simple renamer program to help streamline the process.

The idea behind this renamer is inspired by the Custom Song Creator's output format: Artist_Song-Name_Version. By using this format, you can easily identify and organize your CDLC files within Rocksmith 2014. The program works by renaming all valid CDLC files in a specific folder to match this format.

To use the renamer, simply extract the psarc files from the folder where it's run into your Rocksmith 2014 DLC folder, and double-click the exe file to run it. Be sure to back up your songs before running the program for the first time, as it will rename all valid CDLC files without prompting.

One of the key benefits of this renamer is its ability to identify songs with screwy metadata. This can be particularly helpful when you're trying to fix issues with custom song names or artists. By using the Custom Song Creator method of naming DLC, you'll be able to easily spot and correct any errors.

Song 'A Forest' might look like: Artist_Song-Name_Version

Here's an example of how this would work:

The Sort fields determine where the song/artist appears within the game when browsing through the list of songs. For this reason, I use the Sort fields when renaming files.

The CDLC files store two sets of data for Song and Artist: one for display purposes and another for sorting. It doesn't actually change any metadata, just the filenames.

To get started with the renamer, simply download it and follow the instructions above. With its simple console app interface and output file (Songs-.txt) listing all renamed files, you'll be able to easily manage your Rocksmith 2014 CDLC collection in no time.

So why not give this renamer a try? It's a quick and easy way to bring some order to your custom DLC chaos. And who knows – it might just make playing Rocksmith 2014 even more enjoyable!
