Are these the same ones I just bought or are there now MORE tracks in the pack I just bought?

Looks like PAK 1 was the earlier release & PAK 2 is new. Can you confirm Callie

You're exactly right! Volume 1 was released this past summer, and Volume 2 was JUST released with 2017

You're exactly right! Volume 1 was released this past summer, and Volume 2 was JUST released with 2017 And the latter doesn't come with any 2017 version of BBox? Not even the audiophile?

No - these are not included in ANY upgrade Pak. Separate purchases.

That is correct - the Xtra Styles PAKs are an extra purchase.

Quick question about the Xtra Styles paks, these are not realtracks (audio files), so size wise they are relatively small, correct? The reason I ask, I am out in the country with a very poor internet connection so I always buy my BIAB upgrade on disk instead of download. I already ordered my 2017 upgrade (should be here tomorrow ) so too late to get the style paks with it, but if they are relatively small I shouldn't have a problem downloading.

The Xtra Styles PAKs trigger existing RealTracks in your UltraPlusPAK, EverythingPAK, or Audiophile package.
Because of this, the download size is pretty small:
146 MB for Xtra Styles PAK 1
154 BM for Xtra Styles PAK 2

Hi Earl, These are a separate purchase, and not included in any Band-in-a-Box package. If you didn't purchase them with your 2017 order, you can find them here: http://www.pgmusic.com/xtrastyles.php?os=winThanks, Callie

Strange, the Xtra Styles 1 zip file I got is roughly 300Mb in size. Any idea what counts for this difference?

Btw, I hate that I you can't delete a post if another post has been made after. Monumentally stupid arrangement!

Icelander,
Since this is the Band-in-a-Box for Windows forum, I was quoting Windows Xtra Styles sizes. The Mac ones are:
Xtra Styles PAK 1: 314 MB
Xtra Styles PAK 2: 150 MB
Thanks,
Callie

Btw, I hate that I you can't delete a post if another post has been made after. Monumentally stupid arrangement! At the very bottom of the Edit window, far right, it says Delete Post (as long as, like edit, it's within about one day). Are you saying an intervening post makes that not available? EDIT: I just posted two more useless posts and deleted the earliest one then the later one. Everything worked.
