How to Download Rockband Songs on Wii

Rock Band is a four player rhythm based video game for the Nintendo Wii. Rock Band lets up to four players start their own band or mimic one of their favorites using instrument peripherals that can be connected to the system. The included song list is long and varied, however, if you have a Wii connected to Nintendo's Wi-Fi network, you can take advantage of DLC (Downloadable Content) available for Rock Band. Some songs are free while others can cost up to $2. You do not pay directly; instead, you purchase Wii points which can be used to download DLC, among other items (e,g, full games.) You will also need an SD card to store the songs that you download. You can download as many songs as your SD card will hold.
