After an update, I can't figure out how to attach files to my email message. GUI has totally changed.

After an automatic update, I can't figure out how to attach .mp3s to my outgoing mail messages. The GUI has changed from white to black and I'm totally lost.

I used to be able to attach mp3s to my facebook chat. Now it looks like it attaches but nothing loads.

Help, please?

What are you using for email? Do you have a dedicated client (for example, I use Thunderbird and others use Outlook), or a web interface (which is available for Yahoo, Hotmail, GMail, etc)?

Did the Windows 10 GUI change or your email application change?

John,

I'm using Yahoo Mail, should I try another app?

Not sure how to confirm if it is Windows update or Yahoo Mail.

Yahoo mail is web based, so it shouldn't be the Windows update. Maybe they changed their interface. I'll take a look tonight and see if I see something weird, as I have a couple of Yahoo accounts.

John,

Don't know if related, but I must log in to PG Forums each visit. Remember Me has stopped 'remembering' but who am I to talk?

Donny,

In Chrome go to settings->passwords. At the top of that screen you can enable "Offer to save passwords" and "Auto Sign-in".

I have both enabled here. Not sure how those settings managed to get reset though?

That should fix your "Remember Me has stopped 'remembering' " problem, no clue about the problem with attachments though.

EDIT: Actually the screen you want is called "Customize and Control Google Chrome", the three vertical dots to the far right of the URL window at the top of the screen.

Donny -

Below is what I see when I go into Yahoo Mail on Windows 10 using the Chrome (version 74.0.3729.157 (Official Build) (64-bit)) browser. I'm running Windows 10 Professional (Version 1809 (OS Build 17763.475)) which can be seen by running the "WinVer" command from a command prompt.

In Chrome, I just log into my Yahoo email account, then click on the "Compose" button. Once on the Compose screen, I can click in the paperclip icon to attach a file to my message. It inserts the file at the bottom of the message screen, and then I can address, type my message, and click send.

Are you seeing something different?

Can you attach, say, a .jpg file to a FB post? I'd try that first.

Okay, in Googling around, it appears that while you can post pictures and videos to Facebook, you can't post audio files. This restriction seems to go back quite a few years. The work around is to post your audio file to a file sharing site and then post a web link to the file. But direct uploads of audio files seem to not be supported.

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!

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."
