I would like to have a list of standard songs in a songpicker window, that I could chose from, and have the chords imported into the chord window in Band-in-a-Box. IReal Pro has this feature, and I see no reason why Band-in-a-Box should not have it? http://www.irealpro.com/

Is this something similar to Audio Chord Wizard output, except somebody has already created the chords and timing?

If I'm not mistaken, iRealPro has a ton of songs (chords only, for legal sharing) because users entered them into their format and made them available on their website.
BIAB is a little different; there are BIAB-formatted songs to be found on the Internet, just not on the company website.
There are also perhaps more standards than you may think already shipped as demo songs with BIAB; they just have no melody and use a fake name to avoid copyright problems. Once you play them, you should be able to identify from the chord progression what the original song was, and rename it.
And then there are public domain songs versus those still under protection from copyright (in the USA, anyway) ...

Once you get used to BIAB, it doesn't take long to enter songs at all, whether you use them for practice or performance. Go to www.jazzstudies.us for a ton of songs. Chords,no melodies.

Jazzstudies.us is a realy great site.
I guess my question is: Why can't we have those same chords to choose from from inside Band-in-a-Box. Are there legal implications?

Note's site has BiaB discs that cover many fake books: http://nortonmusic.com/Just load a file and the chords are exactly like what is the fake book. It even uses a BiaB style that loads with the song. You might want to look at them.

Jazzstudies.us is a realy great site.
I guess my question is: Why can't we have those same chords to choose from from inside Band-ion-a-Box. Are there legal implications? PG Music chooses not to maintain an archive of copyrighted songs, however there are many sources available on the internet. One of the most popular is the ++ Yahoo Band-in-a-Box Group ++. The group has two sub groups that are used only to archive song files. ++ HERE ++ is another Yahoo song file sharing group. An internet search will bring up several sites where people have PG Music song files. As previously mentioned, user Bob Norton offers midi only PG Music song files that support many fake books. He also offers many unique styles and his site is well worth a visit. ++ HERE ++ is a link to his site. I use to search for and collect song files but I don't look for them as much as before for a couple of reasons. Many of the song files available for download are out-of-date and do not represent the current capability of Band-in-a-Box. Sometimes the song file is not based on a familiar version of a song. Sometimes the file creator is extremely creative a creates a version of a song that is unlike any prior version of the song. Many times it is difficult to determine what the song file represents based on the file title. Last, as others have noted, it doesn't take that long to create a song file from scratch once you get a little familiar with Band-in-a-Box and the available styles, RealTracks, Midi SuperTracks, loops, soft synths and other tools.

There are also perhaps more standards than you may think already shipped as demo songs with BIAB... A lot of the Style Demo songs are precisely this, they just have a new melody to avoid rights issues.

Hi - thanks
A lot of people are trying to help me solve a problem, seemingly, but I posted this in the forum "Band-in-a-Box Wishlist". I don't have a problem, that needs to be solved. I just propose a new feature. And I wish it could be implemented.

Lol...yes, that does tend to happen around this enthusiastic group that is the BBox Forums. We see an idea that we find interesting, start talking about it further... and then just run away with it!

I don't know if this would pertain to what you you want. I have about 1500 standards in a BIAB folder, that I've entered in over the years. I just click F3 and choose my song folder then the song I want. If you want I can post whatever tunes you want, assuming I have it. When I can get to my PC I'll try to post a list of what I have.

It's very kind of you, but I don't use Band-in-a-Box as a musician. This may sound strange to you, I know. My small company is the distributor for BiaB in Denmark. I'm just posting suggestions from users/customers, that don't speak English that well.

I have a couple of archives from the web with close to 9000 songs. There are usually many 'duplicates', some with very interesting variations, or key signatures. Song picker will make short work of creating a list and it is easy to select and load any one of them.
As has been said, they are usually built with old styles, but the chords and the melody are still the same. Choose your own style or instruments and away you go.

What's the best way to send song files to someone in this forum? It seems like the only files one can send in a post here are .jpg, pdf.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
