Another working definition of that would be any song saved with metadata Genre of 'Blues', except that such seemingly does not exist!

(unlike Jazz, Pop, Country) I'm not sure that there is a filter feature available that only lists songs that contain any thing related to a Blues (or other genre) Style. Others may know more.

OP sj1 Enthusiast Joined: Dec 2018 Posts: 71	Ah, that is quite slick, thank you Callie! I had no clue towards this approach. I get similar results (739 items), though many of them are duplicates. So, do I understand correctly that the BIAB distribution contains actual song files (.SGU, .MGU) provided for the purpose of demo'ing the Realtracks located here: C:\bb\Demos\RealTracks - Demos and that these are effectively complete songs available for the user to use and/or repurpose as desired? Certainly this seems like a resource I'll not quickly exhaust! -- FWIW, as a general purpose ability, I think it would be a fine addition to the Song Picker to allow users to search for Songs (wherever they are) based on the style genre of the Style stored with the Song. Thanks again! BIAB for Windows 2023 (1006)

Yes, definitely agreed. My understanding is that the Song Picker currently finds songs containing the selected word, not the internally used style genre. A good one for the wishlist, sj1?
