Greetings Melahide,

Your English is fine. I use Band-in-a-Box for Windows but will try to help.

Are you using the StylePicker to sample the styles?

If so, look at the screen shot below. There are two places where you can playback style audio. I've marked them "A" and "B".

Are you using the "A" or "B" controls to sample styles? The choice makes a difference in how long you have to wait for playback to begin.

"A" uses your chord sheet. The style is loaded into memory and tracks are generated in memory based on your chord sheet. Once the tracks are created, playback begins. The wait for playback to start can be a long time based on many factors including how many bars your chord sheet is, how many choruses the chord sheet has, are the instruments RealTracks or midi and how much memory your computer has.

"B" uses a ready made audio song that might be stored on your computer hard drive or located on the PG Music website. If the audio song file is located on your computer hard drive the song will quickly begin. If the audio song file is located on the PG Music website it will take longer to start. There have been some instances where the song file can not be located so nothing happens.

If you are using option "A", then try putting a check mark in the checkbox I marked "C". Instead of creating tracks for the full chord sheet the program will create tracks for only the first four bars.
