I have a folder that holds all my tunes. Today, I opened that folder to play along & practice a bit. The extensions in the top half of the files have all changed from SGU or MGU to .docx or .bt1 or .BT1. I have no idea how this happened. They would not open. Help.....Hank I am using Biab 2018 in Windows 7.
Could it be that you have .bt1 and other files in the same folder and now the list is sorted by file type, not file name?
Try clicking on the 'Type' or the 'Name' at the top of the items list so see if it sorts them in the order you want and you can then navigate to the songs.
BIAB & RB2024 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones
Mat, My antivirus program is ESET NOD32 ANTIVIRUS. I'm presuming this also includes malware. As also suggested I clicked on "Name" which seemed to organise the files & I could see that with each pile of incorrect extensions there was usually one file with the correct extension so I have deleted all the files with wrong extensions. I hope this is the end of the problem. Thank you both very much....Hank
Yikes, Deleting those other files could have been a mistake.

Hi,
The .bt0 or .bt1 files contain information about the characteristics of the wave file. Band-in-a-Box will make the file automatically the first time it uses the wave file. This saves a bit of time for next time the wave file is used. You don't need to do anything manually to make the file, other than play your drum style
(Note: older Band-in-a-Box versions create .bt0 files, newer version create .bt1 files. Both file types serve the same purpose, and Band-in-a-Box 2012 is backwards compatible with the .bt0 filetype)
To get the genre and artist information to show up, you would need to edit the file DrumStyleInfo2.txt in the bb folder, and add a line for your style, like this:
MyDrums=4,Ev,8,Pop,Rock,,,MyArtist,
The fields in the RealDrums Picker are comma delimited. You then need to close and re-open Band-in-a-Box for the changes to take affect. Note that this file is updated by PG Music, so you should keep a text file of your own with your drums in it (e.g. MyDrumsInfo.txt) and that way it is easy to add back your lines if DrumStyleInfo2.txt is replaced in a Band-in-a-Box upgrade. _________________________ Andrew PG Music Inc.
If you used Shift+Del they will be gone but Del will just send to the recycle bin, and if you haven't put your recycle bin out on the street yet to be collected they should be still in it. In the top right of Windows Explorer type SGU or MGU in. Search the Computer for SGU or MGU also by clicking on Computer icon then top right search by copy and paste this below: *.*GU
I tried changing the extension to MGU/SGU but they still did not open. Everything I deleted is still sitting in the garbage can & the remaining files play OK. Thanks again
Hi Just a thought. If you look for your mgu/sgu in BIAB song picker and go to your chosen saving place from within there .it will only show you your mgu /sgu song files.
However if you are going to your folder via windows file manager you will see all files in there including the ones you did not think you needed.
I would seriously think about restoring from your bin to the original locations.
