I can't find any of the new smooth jazz real tracks in the style picker, ie: _SJAZZBL.sty =SJAZZPP.sty
Anybody else having this problem?

Do you have _SJAZZBL.sty present in your BB folder?

Peter, I have the same problem. No _SJAZZBL. in BB folder. Not sure if any new realstyles are in there. The only way to access is to play demos, then they show up in "recent" folder in stylepicker.

Can you try Start -> Search and see if _SJAZZBL string will locate a .sty file on your computer?

It found only the demo - not the style. I think this is true of all new real styles.

Rebuilding finds 7338 entries. Is this correct?

Well, it works here.
Electronic Download?
Separate files for the new RealTracks, maybe you missed one or the other, either at the download or during the Install-a-thon we have to go through for that.
My download folder shows realtracks70-1.exe & 70-2 thru realtracks82.exe, inclusive.
Check in Help -> What addons do I have? See if it reports any missing.
Try again from scratch?
Call Support Directly if nothing else. I'm sure they can straighten it out.
'Luck,

? That's about 4X what mine shows and I have about 150 custom styles added on to the pgmusic listings by now.
Please try this step-by-step and let me know what you get:
1) Hit the Stylepicker button
2) On LH window of Stylepicker, highlight "RealStyles (All) (279)"
3) Hit the Search button at bottom and enter or copy and paste "_SJAZZBL" without the quotes of course.
What happens when you hit, "Okay"?

Sounds like your BBW.LST text file didn't get updated. Thats the file that shows the list for the StylePicker.
At any rate, until you get a newer bbw.lst file, you can either:
1. load in the styles using the F9 key from the main window.
or
2. Rebuild the stylepicker list, and the styles will show up in "Other Styles Found"
Have Fun!

It finds it only in "Recent Styles" - because i played the demo. No other place (after hitting "G").

Here is a copy of my BBW.LST file.
With BB closed down completely, move yours out of the BB folder and somewhere else. Don't delete it, not just yet, for you may have to revert back to it by putting it back there if this doesn't work.
Drop my copy into your bb folder.
Start bb and the go to Stylepicker Window and hit the Rebuild button.
Ignore any error reports, for there may be some styles I've got that you haven't. -- And there is one style in there with a filename too long and bb always reports that, I keep it there for testing purposes, safe to just ignore that one.
If you can see the realstyles now, especially those important smoothjazz styles, there ya go.
Rightclick on the hotlink below and choose SaveAs to download to your desktop. Or wherever you want it to go.
File removed by Mac -- Evidently my XP file won't fix the 64 bit or Vista/Win7 problem.
I hope Peter don't kill me fer this! <G>

I have the same problem: BBW.LST didn't get updated after installing RealtTracks 67-82.
The Date stamp of BBW.LST remains 2009-09-11.
I'm running Vista 32bit and the USB-Drive ultraPAK directory is copied to my system hard-drive.
It was running well with BiaB 2009.5

Hi Sam, and JMatt,
First, could you try opening notepad.exe and opening the file x:\bb\bbw.LST (where X is your hard drive letter)
Then, search for the string _SJAZZ . If it isn't there, then you need a new BBW.LST, and we'll have to post one.
If it is there, then either the files like _SJAZZBL.STY aren't in your BB directory, or some other issue, like Windows is not allowing writes to the hard drive (UAC in Vista)... that's easily confirmed... is there a x:\bb\bbw_sty.lsw file with the timestamp that you last rebuilt the styles?
Have Fun!

Hi Peter,
1. _SJAZZ and the other new styles are in bb/
2. bbw_sty.lsw and bbw_cat.lsw have the correct timestamp
3. BBW.LST has the older timestamp and is not udated
I'm running BIAB 2010 as administrator.

The smooth jazz styles, _sjazz ect. are not in my bbw.lst
As mentioned above they are in the bb folder.
Mac, I tried your .lst but it didn't work for me.
Thanks anyway.

OK Thanks Ralf. Yes, we need to update that file, and its not ready yet. (Mac's posted one is the same as yours).
In the meantime, load in a song and the style will appear in recent styles list, which is in the stypicker.
We will post a patch soon, given that it is the weekend, I don't know how soon.
Have Fun!

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."
