First of all, Styles and RealTracks are not the same (although lots of folks have taken to calling RealTracks "styles"). So when you buy styles (such as the XTra Styles) you are not buying RealTracks, only a style file that references those RealTracks. And if you knew which RealTracks were contained in each Xtra style, you could actually create them all yourself. They've just done the work for you, and that's the reason they charge for it.

Styles are basically a grouping of multiple instruments (RealTracks, RealDrums, standard MIDI tracks, and Super MIDI Tracks in any combination) across the five instruments slots allowed for a style.

But I get that it can be confusing for a new user who hasn't mastered the PGMusic lingo.

I think this is bad marketing. The PG music should sell a xpak that's not require any dependence pack to run


I think the better way to market this would be two have two level pricing. One price (as it is now) for those that already have all the underlying tracks that make up the XTRA Styles and another price that includes any RealTracks/RealDrums that are required to play those styles.
