So for upgrade purposes what is now equivalent to the everything pack? I have the 2017 everything pack with all of the extra styles when I upgrade 2018, to make sure I don't miss anything, what do I order? That would be the UltraPak.

The PlusPAK would also be a good choice if you don't want another hard drive. Costs $50 less, and includes just the 2018 upgrade and the newest RealTracks (since you already have all the old ones).
Thanks

The Audiophile is not available for download, due to the size of the uncompressed WAV files. A PlusPAK upgrade will not include these uncompressed WAV files, so it's not an ideal purchase for a 2017 Audiophile user.
If you have a 2017 Audiophile, you can purchase the $199 Audiophile upgrade, which is delivered on a hard drive.

Therefore i just bought the Pluspak with bonus & xtra4. Please note: I specifically asked for audiophile 2017 to 2018 beforhand, and was advised the Pluspak if i did not want the harddisk because of paying again about 30% import duties, over about 50-70% material i already paid taxes for last year and the years before. ?? - F

As the uncompressed WAV files included in the Audiophile versions of Band-in-a-Box are far too large to be downloaded, they must be shipped on a hard drive. If you do not want to pay the fees to have your order delivered on an external hard drive, the only option for receiving the new RealTracks would be in the compressed WMA format of the 2018 PlusPAK. Based on your post, it sounds like you ordered the correct package. However, if you would prefer to exchange your 2018 PlusPAK download for the 2018 Band-in-a-Box Audiophile hard drive, please give our sales line a call and they'd be happy to help you out!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
