I've got BIAB 10.5, build 20, ultra pak (I think). Anyways, I've been using the jukebox feature, and in between songs (After about a song or two) I get all this messed up XML code instead of chords. Then, it plays at some insane tempo for about 3 seconds, then goes on to the next tune, after blasting my ears. THEN, when I quit, BIAB just crashing with the spinning beach ball of doom and I have to force quit after awhile.
WTF man!?

Hello Benny,

I don't recall seeing anything like this before. Does this happen with *any* jukebox set, or just with one particular set of songs? If it's just particular songs, perhaps you could send a sample set to support@pgmusic.com for us to test out...

just checked a different folder.. and I'm still getting those XML errors with crazy codes all over my chord screen... but the songs at least play. Also, it doesn't crash on quit. It looks like there might be a problem with my folder. Sending to you now...

well, it looks like my screen shot didn't work... HOWEVER, BIAB is still crashing on quit for me. ALSO, in between my jukebox songs, I occasionally get this crazy fast noise/junk sound all all this crazy XML code displayed as chords. Weird and sucks.

I have had the same problem as Benny. BIAB 2011 Build 26.

Jukebox is selected Checked boxes for -
include songs without melodies,
audible lead in,
vary melody instrument,
random play
Auto--choose soloists
Change soloists w/each chorus

I believe these are defaults as I don't remember altering settings in jukebox.

About the third song in jukebox play gets all jumbled up with strange, drums, and chords.

It lasts for about +-45 seconds then resumes normal play.
Seems to happen on 2nd chorus.

It has happened at 4 times with new version BIAB, that being said I have not used jukebox much
so it may be more of a problem than I realize.

After running into the problem a few minutes ago, I restarted BIAB selected jukebox and it played
fine for at least 20 minutes. Go figure.

right. I think BIAB has a problem with a tune in my folder or something. Anyways, I just finished practicing and my BIAB crashed on me again. I've got an email out to support, and I haven't heard anything in a few days. Starting to get a little annoyed.

Benny,
What do you mean by "crashed"? Mine does not actually crash and have to be re-started.
The song just gets garbled up and sounds like a train wreck, but I don't think the program
actually crashes.
By the way the song I had trouble with yesterday used all real tracks and real drums as do 99%
of all of my tunes. I don't know if it is a real tracks thing or not?

By crashed, I mean I get the spinning beach-ball-of-death thing. Now, here's what happens. After playing a few songs in jukebox mode, I get the crazy garbled up text instead of chords. I can sometimes hit the next button, and go to the next tune, and everything will be fine. But either way... when I'm done with BIAB, and I choose QUIT, beach ball makes a visit I have to force the thing to quit.
