...Then i started playing around, and soon found out that they made more sense than i gave them credit for. I really do understand what Eddie, and others are going thru. It is tough to get a handle on. But in the end it is very usable. TRy a few filter searches, and poke around and use a few styles that you like, compare a few. Then as suggested rename some, and soon it all seems kind of second nature.



Well I've been using BIAB since the Atari days if you can believe it.
That's a long time!

For me, the styles list has not become any easier.

I just re-visited it now for the umpteenth time and don't know why (that will come back shortly)
they don't try to make things simpler, visually.

Country, Jazz, Rock, all have tons of sub-styles. The 'natural' thing to do would be to have each of these categories collapse, to just the simple heading: Country or Jazz or Rock, just to give the eyes a rest. Then there would be JUST 25 styles plus the Realtrack #'s plus 'Other styles found'.

Everything would look a tad bit less intimidating.
When a user would click on Country, Jazz or Rock the heading would expand and the sub-styles would show.
BIAB would also remember the last state it was in. So if a user wants it expanded, it will remain expanded.


Back to 'don't know why'...
I was working on that song (Norah Jones) for quite a bit a few years ago and banged my head against the wall when I couldn't find a style that captured the feel of the bass and drums.
I searched through 100's and 100's of styles in vain.

I just now did a search for 'Norah' and 'Jones' and only two popped up, neither of which is anywhere near that song.
That song defines Norah Jones. That is/was her biggest hit. Yet there doesn't seem to be a 'Don't Know Why' (Norah) style.
