Yes. You may not like my answer, but I know one way this is possible.

The audiophile version contains all the .WMA files as well as the corresponding .WAV files. If BIAB finds the .WAV file, it uses that. Otherwise, it loads then uncompresses the .WMA file. To my knowledge, there is no user switch for you to control this.

So, what you could do is have both the regular and the audiophile RealTracks available, such as your .WMA set on the internal hard drive and the Audiophile set on the supplied external drive from PG Music. You would go into Opt. Preferences, RealTracks and change the location of the set you wanted to use. It's a kludge, but it would work.

ps Do the same with the RealDrums.

By the way - if you think you will save time developing a song by using the .WMA files, it's just the reverse: using the Audiophile version is ever so slightly faster because BIAB does not have to uncompress the audio files. Before the Elastique algorithm was adopted a couple of years ago, this made even more of a speed difference. Now it's less significant.
