To sad, I got a new computer and wanted to install bbfinder, but cannot find it anywhere in the www anymore. Is there a new program that has this function? I realy liked this program a lot, since it was a whole lot easier to keep up with all my biab tracks. Now I realy have a problem, since I don'T know how to manage my library.

Any good tip for me?


So long,

It's a real pity that this program seemingly vanished from the net. It provided quite a few features that put it way above the otherwise updated SongPicker. It was lightning fast and had the ability to span over a variety of drives and folders, not just subfolders.

It would be great if such a program could get provided by PG Music or some 3rd party for that matter - maybe via some cooperation between PG Music and a 3rd party ...

Hi all BBfinder fans!

I'm a fan too. I use W7. In my BBfinder lib. I have 19.000 songs. I copy them into BB. Went to the songpicker and rebuild the list. Now it's near to BBfinder. Try it.

There you go -> just that is a severe limitation of the SongPicker.

I like BBfinder because you can rename and delete song files without having to go back into the BB Files menu. I think I am right in saying you cannot do this in the SongPicker. Also it refreshes the song list much much faster than SongPicker.

Look under the File menu for "Find File" inside BiaB.

Peter and the gang added a very nice equivalent there several or more versions back.

Works a treat, and is built right into the program.

Well you are 5 versions behind, so some of us 'uptodate' hoi ty toi te folks with oldtimer's like me can't remember when it was added. Given the way things go you are soon to be about 6 versions behind.

I'd suggest looking for pennies for the upgrade eh?

Actually, all my pennies are going towards not losing my house to this economy. So, a BIAB upgrade is not in the foreseeable future.

Hey, i'm with you.

This is the first year I haven't upgraded in SEVERAL YEARS.................. couldn't afford it.

Medical bills are eating me alive. My health has gone to crap and i'm taking over 500 pills a month and one of them costs $17 each and I take 3 of those a day. Insurance don't cover it all.

By the time I can afford to upgrade......... i'll be better off just to buy the whole package new again. UGh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
