I can vouch for this added feature which I just tested:

Added: Band-in-a-Box can now load more types of audio files for loops (unusual .wav formats etc.).

It successfully loaded my loops that had failed in beta testing back in December. Those particular commercially marketed loops are (I think) 24-bit .WAV files, and I previously had to convert them to MP3 files to use them in BIAB. Too tedious. Now they load right in, which saves a lot of time.

Anything that requires less fiddling and gives more time to creativity is a terrific improvement!
