Hey, W -

#1 above - upgrades the program files from v2009 to v2009.5, so you get some bug fixes and some added functionality. It's a free upgrade, which you should do whether you have RealTracks/RealDrums or not.

#2 above - This is to purchase one of the new RealPAKs (a set of RealTracks, if you will). RealTracks are sold separately from the main BIAB program. For $59, you get to choose one of the three new RealTracks PAKs (called RealPAKs) - Jazz 2, Country 2, or Rock 2. The RealPAK you purchase comes on a DVD, but you have to install the files from that DVD when you receive it. You can install it either to the local hard drive in the computer, or for those that purchased BIAB on a USB hard drive, you can also install them to that same hard drive (or like I do, to my own external hard drive). Either way, you have to install them before using them.

#3 above - For $99, you can purchase all three of the new RealPAKs (so you save $78 over buying the RealPAKs separately at $59 each. These come on a DVD. Same comments as above for installation.

#4 above - If you previously purchased the UltraPAK or EverythingPAK (which came either on a DVD or USB hard drive), for $149 you can order a new 160GB USB hard drive that contains everything you previously had (UltraPAK or EverythingPAK) plus all the new RealTracks PAKs, with BIAB already upgraded to 2009.5. It's like getting a new UltraPAK or EverythingPAK with everything up-to-date.

#5 above - The normal RealTracks are compressed WAV files so they don't take up much space; however, they are compressed using lossy compression. The Audiophile Edition (which has nothing to do with your "audiophile" sound card) is the non-compressed WAV files, so you get full fidelity. So for folks that previously purchased the audiophile version of BIAB with the non-compressed RealTracks WAV files, for $199, you can upgrade to the newest RealTracks. Because WAV files are much larger than the compressed files, it comes on a 1TB external USB hard drive. Obviously, if you have the uncompressed WAV files, you don't want to upgrade to the compressed version, or everything will be mixed up. Apples to apples.

I hope that made sense.
