To add on to what Chantelle said, it's also worth noting that the OmniPAK doesn't exist for Mac, as a lot of the older programs that come with it don't exist for Mac.
Cheers,
Ember

The answers are sprinkled in through this thread. Hopefully this is not the dumbest of questions. But are these add-ons forward compatible? For example, if I were to purchase an UltraPak or an XtraStyles say in 2022 would they be compatible and usable with BiaB 2024? Yes. Anything you buy now should be usable in future versions. That’s how we got to the point we are now, where there are thousands of styles dating back to the 1990s and RealTracks from 2008. Even if someday the base program were rewritten, there would have to be some utility to convert everything to a new format. Are you sure that was the question you meant to ask?

PG Music have been extremely good at maintaining compatibility, so it's unlikely that they would not be. It's quite common for people with different versions to send songs between each other and they'll (usually?) work, even if sometimes they have to substitute a style.

That's a good point. Even if BIAB does not have the style that is called for, it substitutes a style. I know I see ZZJAZZ sometimes. Somewhere I think there is a user setting for this.

Yes they are currently forwards compatible. It's just that the new Xtra Styles are not backwards compatible with older versions of Band-in-a-Box since they require RealTracks that are in the newer versions of the UltraPAK (or higher).

Thanx so much for clearing this up Chantelle. This information should be pinned at the top of the BiaB forum and on the packages page. +1, and definitely included within the Packages section on the website.

Thanks for all of that discussion. Have been North Queensland with limited internet but have been able to update to the lastest build.
I still have the following Real Track Sets missing.
329,330,331,332,333,334,336,337,338,339,340,342,343,346,348,350,351,352,353,354,355,356,357,358,359,360,361,362,
363,364,365,366,367,368,369,370,371,372,373,374,375.
There seems to be numbers which I have in between some of this list and the rest of included sets got to 400.
I am still thinking I should have these with the Ultra Pak.
Maybe a reinstall when I get home??
Many thanks

Hey wish! We have an older, but still great download and install manager that can be used from within the Band-in-a-Box program. Open your Band-in-a-Box program and click | Help | Utilities | Run Download/Install Manager now... |. Once this is open, click Select Recommended then click the Download/Install Selected Files button. Once this completes, open the StylePicker in Band-in-a-Box and click the Rebuild button.
Once you have done this, you should be all set! Let us know if you have any further issues.
Best,
Jerry
