Hi,

Thanks for answering back, please forget all the thinking that you are into and let me explain you.


For size reasons we use to convert the .wav audio file of a song to mp3 files for BiaB Win,
and Mpeg4 for BiaB Mac.
Then when you open the session BB was automatically creating a single file with the same name, as .wav so it will open faster with no conversion the next time, because BB was and it still uses .wav files, (there was no ability to have more than one audio file before BB2021).


Now If you have a Record with 10 songs and the average session contains let's say 10 audio files, (because after 2021 BiaB we can do that), and you want to upload so someone can download and use, I think it will be reasonable to convert the audio to Mp3 so you will save space.


So here we come to the issue, when someone will download the Songs and import into BB, BB will convert them
and it will take a while, (depends on the Computer and disk speed), you see it's a conversion to wav.

So it convert them to .wav but doesn't save them anywhere for the next opening of the song, and each time you will open the song it has to do the conversion again and double or triple the opening time.(if the Comp is old and there are 16 audio files of 5 minutes each you can go for coffee:)


Of course it saves you space by not creating the Wav files, but I prefer fast openings.

I solve this by converting manually the mp3 audio files to Wav with an audio convertor.

The question for the BB Crew is where it saves the temporary .wav files?
And why is deleting them and not keeping them with the same name as wav so to use in the next session like it use to do (with a single audio).


And here a big thanks to the BB Crew, after working intensively almost a Year with BB 2021/22,
my impressions are excellent, BiaB really Rocks know and I can't wait to see what's coming up.


All the Best.'
