Great to see Smooth jazz included in Real Tracks...been waiting for this.
However I cant seem to get the demos to play. The earlier real tracks demos are fine, but the latest ones including Smooth Jazz wont play

any clues anyone?

I can't find any that don't work, might have been a temporary server issue. Lot's of people buying the new release, might put a temporary stress on the ability to serve up the files.

Hi Mal,

They are streaming wma files. One suggestion is to try a different browser. Another suggestion is to see if it works if you disable your firewall.

Odd, I never, ever use IE only Firefox and worked fine for me. Probably you need a plug-in. I have about 5 of those at least for various things, like downloadthemall and stuff I can't do without.

Firefox works fine for me with those demos (see copy of links below),
One thing, Firefox keeps telling me that it wants to update itself, but that this would 'disable extensions' - I wonder if a Firefox update disables an extension to play WMA files?

I haven't had any issues with neither, FireFox nor IE, nor Safari (nice little browser, btw).

Cheers.

The first two songs that Peter posted above worked fine here just now.

The last two had good links until WMP reported, "Windows Media Player cannot find the file..."


IE8 at the moment,

I have the 2010 version, but I don't see any styles with the new "smooth jazz" realtracks. Do I need to build my own styles?

Is there a way to listen to new all-realtrack styles, in general, that come with a new version?

Thanks...

Sure. I always do that first.

You can use the Songpicker window or use the Jukebox to listen to the pgmusic demo songs included with each new release.

There is a folder named, "RealTracks - Demos" inside your bb folder.

Inside that folder are folders of demo songs, listed by the RealTrack pack number.

I start with the highest number folder and work my way backwards one at a time until I get to songs from last year.

Using the Jukebox to play these in the background while surfing the web or doing other work allows me to preview every one of the new offerings in one way shape or form, listening to the pgmusic demo songs.

Mac, that works, thanks. But for some reason these new styles are not showing up in the Stylepicker - that's why I couldn't find them. Ive tried rebuilding many times. What could I be missing?

Search for styles with the string, "SJAZZ" in them. Using the Stylepicker Search button and the G button, of course, with the LH side set to "All Realtracks".

When you get to any one of them, you can hit the "Load Song Demo" at the top near Right of the Stylepicker window to run them from your own hard drive and not online. Sometimes there will be more than one Demo selection for certain styles, check 'em all out.
