Welcome to the forum.

It is true that upgrading the audiophile version will cost more than upgrading the regular version. One problem is the sheer size of the files that must be sent, making download not much of an option and a hard drive a good solution for the full set. I'm guessing that most of us who have the audiophile version bought it for commercial use and value having the choices of all the RealTracks, as you never know what track will unexpectedly sound great even if it isn't in the 'correct' style.

Did you ask PG Music if they could supply you with a DVD or perhaps a flash drive? I would be curious to know more about who you spoke with and exactly what they said. I'm not disputing your statement, though; it may be that making custom update packages for the audiophile version is not something they are prepared to do. My suggestion is to ask again and see if you can work something out on another media.

I also want to make sure you are aware that PG Music does make patches available for the audiophile version via download, for free, when it updates RealTracks. Watch for an audiophile-specific patch about a week after the regular patches are announced.

In general, PG Music is the finest company for customer service I have ever encountered. Please try again, and let us know how you make out.
