From the manual:

Song Files



.?G?

Song files end in ?G? extension.

If the song has a melody the extension will begin with M (otherwise it’s S).

The second letter of the song name is G.

The third letter is the style of the song, 1-9 and A-N for built in styles and U for a User style.

Example: My Song Title.MGU

The M tells us that a Melody is recorded.

The G is always present in song names telling us that it is a song.

The U tells us that the style is a user style.

Example: My Song Title.SG1

The S indicates that no melody is recorded.

The G is always present in song names telling us that it is a song.

The 1 indicates style #1, which is Jazz Swing.

The song files are quite small. This means that you can store hundreds or thousands of songs without using up too much of your hard drive space.

.FSO

This file contains info about favorite song/style set lists specific to Band-in-a-Box for Windows that have been saved under a user-defined name (with the .FSO extension.) These files allow the user to make "set lists" of favorite songs and/or styles in an organized fashion, regardless of their actual physical location on the computer system.

.WAV

If you have recorded an audio portion of a song, this gets saved beside the song (e.g. MySong.MG1 as a .WAV file called MySong.WAV).
