in fact I think no good reason why its not included in the present version. Here's hoping for 2010 biab.

By all means, head on over to the Wishlist with this. However, I did give you what I think is a pretty good reason: file space. Each BIAB song now is a very small MGU or similar file. It contains the instructions to generate the needed tracks, not the audio tracks themselves.

To both Paddy and Carlos, if you start adding the capability of storing individual Real Tracks that can reproduce the song exactly on re-load without regenerating, then the song would have to have at least one audio track (like freezing a song) or worse, one audio track per Real Track instrument so you could continue to work with it. A three minute song with five audiophile Real Tracks might start taking up 150 MB or more of space, instead of the 6 KB it takes now. Even if my numbers are way off, it's still a big difference (25,000 times larger, in that example).

Granted, having a choice is always nice. Just be aware of what you are asking for.

Of course, if we're very lucky, maybe PG Music can figure out a way to save just the instructions of a generated file, not the generated audio. That would be very cool.
