Dave, yes, the cymbals are one of the best places to hear compression artifacts.

We greedy users (!) started asking for access to even higher quality drum tracks almost as soon as they first became available, around, I think, 2008. Then the request was repeated when RealTracks were introduced. But your suggestion should be doable; there's nothing new that would need to be created, and the program already handles it technically. If BIAB reads a .WAV file, it loads it. Otherwise, it loads and uncompresses a .WMA file. All that's needed then is a repackaging and a change of marketing. As a bridge to the full audiophile version, it might even prompt more eventual upgrades for PG Music.

I think this is the first time this specific request has been made. And SFG's revisit to this topic was very helpful to prompt your idea. Good job all around.
