Thanks Joanne! I listened to the three with vocals. These are great songs and performed and produced beautifully! I can see why you are getting these licensed!!! I'm just not sure if these are the types of songs I am thinking of when I say "modern". I mean absolutely no disrespect for they are obviously quite good and I think they fit just fine in a modern playlist but they also, at least to me, seem to fit in a classic genre as well.

I think I may be chasing something that is unattainable with a backing track-maker, at least without significant additional effort. By definition, some of the top pop songs that interest me are unique and different than songs from any of the classic genres. So it is probably too much to expect that BIAB could offer a shortcut to those types of songs. Thanks to you and David and Samuel and Floyd and Charlie and others I think I am starting to understand this is going to require additional learning on my part...both about what makes modern pop music and how to use BIAB in conjunction with other tools to create it!

Thanks again for your help; it is greatly appreciated!
