Well, I used to get all sorts of inquiries about "factory pricing" where I used to work.
I don't think folks truly understand how this works.
At the factory, we sold only for the advertised retail price, with occasional sales.
Our *dealers* however, were allowed to sell the products for whatever the market would bear.
It would not go good for a factory to undersell their dealers. The dealers are not a part of the factory, they are simply independent sales outfits that arrange to purchase product in bulk from the factory, thus able to get a lowered pricepoint on each single item, the markup being their profit margin.
The dealer is allowed to set their own prices and sales, while the factory does not want to undercut their dealer base because the dealera represent the bulk of sales typically.
I don't think there is anything underhanded going on here.

Hi Guys!
Don't fret... Musical Progressions is an authorized reseller of PG Music Inc. software - this is indeed a valid purchase option.
Thanks, Callie

Don,
Since Musical Progressions is an authorized dealer, the support would be the same. I don't know about the guarantee, but it would probably be the same.

Well I suppose my timing was right when I bought BIAB back on July 5th. I got the 2011 EverythingPak (hard drive) for 289.99 and I think it was the very next day 2011.5 came out and PG Music gave me a free upgrade. I bought it at ComputerMusicShop.com They were very friendly, helpful and if I remember correctly offered a 15 day guarantee.
BIAB is a great product, very well supported, and one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.

Well, this brings up an interesting question.
Nothing against East Coast Music, but they are not listed as an authorized dealer: http://www.pgmusic.com/distributors.htm#usa If the link above is out of date, can PGM please update it?

Hi FB, That page is a list of distributors - ie) entities that sell to dealers. We don't have a list of dealers on our web page.
Have Fun! Peter Gannon PG Music Inc.

Ah, ok, Peter, thanks.
How about including a list, then, of authorized dealers?

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
