Maybe some like it because they have the same song with different styles and they can more easily know. At the same time two styles may have the same extension type so I think this idea is very limited.

This is not about BIAB but some may find it interesting. Because I am a programmer I pull the songs up with a database which I can search (file name is in the database). I can do all sorts of things with the database. For example I can loop through the songs in a rotation using last date and time played to make sure I am playing them enough to maintain them. This is useful when I can't get through them all within a day as is the case now. As another example I can score my performance in different areas (melody, rhythm, comps, solos, whatever) and then do a filter to come back to it for specialized practice during an allocated time of day for this specific type of focused practice. If I wanted to find songs by style I could program that into the database too using a drop down to select style or even a search. I am trying to set up jams with BIAB providing potential backing tracks. I might just become an expert at BIAB some day with the need for regular upgrades too :-) I can see this database becoming very useful when others submit their files to me so they can use their FAV backing tracks at the jam. In other words I could have 5 versions of the song for different people all of different styles so I need to find the song based upon person. I could see them wanting to change styles here and there and I would start having a concern as to disk space and what BIAB files to eliminate if I did not do it right away. I may need to try and figure out some programming to help me speed all of this up so I can do it during the jams without causing people long wait times.
