I was very surprised to discover that when I want to open a style they appear in folders from Style00 to Styles77. There are no names associated with these folders so I have no idea what's in each of them. The styles folders should have names in addition to numbers. If I want to find, for example, classical or new age styles, it's very tedious to search through 77 folders until I come across what I'm searching for. A simple asssociation of the names of the styles with the folder it's in would fix this.

Get yourself acquainted with the StylePicker - you'll find all you are looking for there.

The Styles Folders are not meant to be used for picking styles.
Those folders only contain the demo songs made by pgmusic for each style.
Use the Stylemaker to find styles by genre or search features, there's a Style Demo button there, use it to instantly load and play the Style Demo Songs for that Style and get an idea what it sounds like right away.
Style files themselves are actually all stored in the main bb folder anyway, too many of 'em to be trying to sort through and find one specific style using windows explorer. Use the Stylepicker. Get to know it well, the ability to audition a new style with your loaded BIAB song by doubleclicking checkbox is a very good thing and a fast way to audition a style with your song, see if it will work or not.
Another thing to try -- run the Jukebox on a given Styles folder and let it play in the background while you do other things on the computer. Often is the case I discover something that gets creative juices flowing by doing that, or discover a different style that may work well with a song I've already worked up, stuff like that happens.

Mac...Thanks for this excellent heads up! I just clicked on File>Open and then saw all the different styles and other folders hence the misstep. You've given me some great advice particularly re the Jukebox for generating ideas and getting the creative juices flowing.
