I just received the Audiophile Edition for Mac. I also purchase the All Xtra Styles PAK 1- 4.
I installed the extra pak onto the audiophile Drive.
I am running BIAB from the Audiophile Drive.
I can't find any of the Americana Styles...
I seem to have styles missing? when i look at the styles in the style search window for instance..I have styleRT263 but no 264 or 265 but I have RT267? there are gaps all over the place, is this normal?
I launched style picker and found these Americana styles in my 2018 Mac Audiophile USB drive.
Go to the " Help " in the Band's menu bar and select What add-ons do i have.
Also if you click on the various columns it will arrange the items in the column to the way you like or help find the file you want. In this listing there are not that many so just a visual review may be enough for you.
Hi Wiz, I don't see any RT sets missing from my style list, all of the sets from 260-270 are there.
EDIT: OK here is what I've got for those 2 sets.
Can you look in the folder "/Applications/Band-in-a-Box/Styles" and see if you have these files installed ? The actual file names are the names on the far left of this screenshot, you probably know that though.

Hey Wiz, Sorry your having so much trouble here. Nah, you shouldn't have to activate it yet. Before you throw in the towel, and wipe/re-install, I have one last ditch suggestion.
If you can navigate to the folder "/Applications/Band-in-a-Box/Styles" select it and hit "command+I" to "get info". Then check to see if your account name is listed, If not then click the padlock icon in the lower right and add your account name from the list (by clicking + in the lower left). Then make sure that the permissions are set for "read & write" next to your account name, click the gear icon and hit "apply to all enclosed items".
Then relaunch BIAB rebuild the style list and see if your styles have come back.
This really shouldn't be necessary, but I have had problems in the past (not only with BIAB, but other programs as well) where an install package that contains thousands of files, sometimes gets the permissions messed up during the installation by Apple's installer program.
Hopefully you can give this a quick shot before spending hours to wipe and re-install. Hopefully this helps.

Make sure read & write is enabled for your account then the key to the whole thing is "APPLY TO ENCLOSED ITEMS" that's the key to the whole fix !
Hit that menu item, give it a minute to do it's thing and then re build styles.

Ah, bummer, sorry figured it was worth a shot anyway.

When I go to rebuild the styles, BIAB beachballs and I have to force quit
To me it appears that your MacOS as well as your MacBand's Audiophile USB needs to be repaired.
Try running Apple's Disk Utility on that Audiophile USB.
And also Start up in safe mode ( holding shift key while doing a restart ). If you are not familiar with that process then when you are in the finder ( click the desktop ) go to Help in the Apple menu bar and type in Safe Boot. That will provide you with an explanation and details as how to.
Add updated printing options, enhanced tracks settings, smoother use of MGU and SGU (BB files) within PowerTracks, and more with the latest PowerTracks Pro Audio 2024 update!
Download and install this to your RealBand 2024 for updated print options, streamlined loading and saving of .SGU & MGU (BB) files, and to add a number of program adjustments that address user-reported bugs and concerns.
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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
