I get different numbers each time I check! On first check this morning, ~12000. Then rebuild and it is down to ~9000. So I just stopped doing that.

Yes, I would also like to know exactly how the ”rebuild styles" function actually counts the number of styles available.

Does it count the actual styles in the styles folder, or does it come with a list of styles for a particular version of BIAB for which it then tries to match the available styles against? (if it comes with list is that list stored somewhere?).

I don’t find any logic in how it works! sometimes it just toggles count up or down 1-2 styles. Why is that? If it counts the styles, why is it counting differently sometimes).

I have also experienced that it may differ from time to time without having done any changes at all to the number of styles or the version of BIAB installed.

When installing an older version of BIAB, but with the styles intact and unchanged in the styles folder it also changes the number of styles after rebuild.

If I have ”my full set of styles” installed in the styles folder within BB, say after I have installed the 2024 BIAB I have 11131 styles.
If I then reinstall the 2023 BIAB then I only have 10270 styles after a rebuild.
If I then go back and install the 2024 BIAB I have again 11131 styles after a rebuild.
And so on it seems to change on each version of BIAB even if the number of styles in the styles folder have not changed.

Or does it mean that I have 861 styles (11131-10270) that only works in BIAB 2024 and not in 2023? but I have not seen any such notice.

It would be very interesting to know exactly how works.

Thanks, I was not aware that the versions "free" styles are limited to that specific BIAB release an onwards.

That is an excellent idea. I think it would be a money maker for PGM also.

Yes, but it never got any traction.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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."
