Harry:

I have a couple of suggestions.

1. Perhaps you could ask "beckyboy" if he would just post his original BIAB files somewhere that you could download from. Then (providing you have all the same RealTracks) you could use them in their original format.

2. If that's not possible, the 2013 version of BIAB allows you to play an MP3 file as part of a normal BIAB song file, by using the "Performance" function, as stated by Peter (see his comment below)

I've tried the process and it works, mostly the way Mac described it. You open BIAB then use the ACW to get the chords. Then you use the Performance feature to have BIAB play the MP3 file, while highlighting the chords in the chord grid, as with a normal BIAB file.

Good luck!

Peter's comment from an earlier thread:

If you want to use a compressed file in a BB song, you can do that, using BiaB 2013 "Audio Performance Track" feature.

If you have My Song.sgu

and you call your mp3 file
My Song Soloist.mp3

then it will get loaded to the Soloist track, and will play along with the song.

This doesn't work for the audio track. In the case of the audio track, you can have My Song.mp3, and that will play, but it will create My Song.wav (just the first time, not every time). The reason for that is that My Song.wav is now editable, since the audio track is editable.
