Just to clarify. Songpicker and StylePicker are two different things.

StylePicker has a feature to make recommendations for styles to use for various popular songs, and this list is continuously updated. But you still have to create the song (enter the chords, add any melody or other parts, add lyrics, etc). Selecting the song just gives you suggested styles (sounds similar to), but not he song itself.

The SongPicker however is a list of the songs you have on your hard drive. BIAB comes with some demo songs, but you would not be able to list a popular song in SongPicker to play or play along to unless you already had it on your hard drive. That being said, there are still a lot of songs available on the web for free, or you could get, for example, Bob "Notes" Norton's fakebook disks (which you must buy) and scan the files to display in SongPicker for you to play.

Most of the files you find are simple SGU (accompaniment only, no melody) files, because of copyright restrictions for distributing song melodies. Chord progressions are not copyright protected (otherwise there would be only one blues song), so the files will contain the chord chart only and a style (that may or may not work for you, but easily changed; that being said, Bob Norton's fake disks have carefully selected MIDI only styles to most closely match the feel of the song, but unless you have the style, you would still have to substitute...Bob sells a lot of excellent 3rd party styles also).

Don't know if that helps.
