If there was an option for Ma4 then the GNOME player would pop up as the default I think. I can still DL the MP4 and play them though in Linux. It's just a extra step.

Just tried it and it worked, a bit slow but it worked. The point being that this will be a great answer to tons of questions from people who are interested but not quite sure what BIAB will do.
Great marketing idea!
Congrats!

Thanks Robb, Hopefully we can eliminate that Flash requirement on the mobile devices.
an html-5 player such as JW Player may be just ticket. I use this on my website and it works great on the Android tablet too.

Works very well, but I think you should make it crystal clear the actual program generates songs a lot quicker than the web demo - may put people off.

Works well in my 32 bit XP IE8 machine.
Peter, this is a good idea. In your final form I would point out that this is just a fraction of what BiaB can do then point them to the YouTube videos. I’m sure you have already thought of this but just in case……..
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Working well here, too: Win7/64, Firefox Nightly 22.0a1. Peter, I created a 16-bar song that generated a two-bar ending, using the last chord of the song (first beat of Bar 16). Is that the default? If so, you might want to mention it somewhere, along with a few other things such as time signature -- I assume for now they're all going to be 4/4?
Oooh, I just tried the song with the style _JAZFRED.STY, changing the ending chords slightly so that Bar 16 was still the "end" but with a different chord, and a resolving chord in Bar 17... and it finished it off with the chord in Bar 17. Sweet! But now the Download button doesn't work. (It did for the first one.)
I wish the Tab key advanced to the next cell after entering a chord.
Another thing: In the first song I used _DREAMYP.STY, and I swear it sounded as if the count-in was continuing during the song. Did the metronome accidentally get turned on, or something, or am I just hearing things?

Works perfectly in Ubuntu 10.04 with Firefox 19.0
Also works perfectly with Puppy 5.4 Live CD with Sea Monkey 2.18.1
as well as Mint 13 Xfce using Firefox 12 even on this old Pentium 4
machine with 512 Ram.
I like it.

On the other hand, it does not work in either Chrome or Safari on an iPad Mini w/iOS 6.1.2. Neither of those browsers has Flash. Or, rather, those allow me to input a song, but the player won't play and the downloader won't download.

Running fine here under XP-PRO/Chrome and Puppy Linux/Firefox.
Great idea for people coming to BiaB for the first time.

Hey Tom, yes, it won't work on iPhone and iPad yet. The original post said it would, but was corrected after I reported the Flash problem.

Cute, it does an ending. After Tom posted, I tried a song with 10 bars and 2 choruses. Then in bar 11, another chord. This played the two choruses and did a 2-bar ending on the final chord from measure 11.
Nice.
I did find I was tripping over the entry of a sharp, using 3 instead of # because I've learned to do that in BIAB. Of course, new users wouldn't know that. However, it would make things a lot easier for an iOS user.
ps Running under Firefox, Windows 7 64-bit.

Indeed, Matt -- I missed the correction until after my original post. My bad.
I also noticed that ^ and the rest/shot hold don't seem to work. Slashed basses, e.g. D/B, do work. Or at least it takes 'em.

Works fine in my Win XP.
Tried my XT317 Android 2.3.7 Android phone: "Flash 9 required" message.
Using "download" button do not work, too (not sure why).
Any fix to the flash issue?
regards

Yes, to be clear, it is designed to work for Windows and Mac (desktop OS), not the mobile OS (iOS, Android). We will try to make it work for mobile too in the future.
Have Fun!
