This is a worthy subject.

About ten years ago, I set up BIAB that was bought for one PC in the music lab at the local community college. The rest of the computers in that lab were Macs. That single PC received heavy use once I showed the jazz ensemble director what it could do.

The semester I subbed for him as director, I also used BIAB to make CDs of the chord changes in the tunes we were doing, so the students could practice soloing at home. A few said they would buy the program, but I do not know how many actually did. In those days, $88 would purchase a fully working program for basic comping.
