This is a tough question. What is and is not jazz? I’m often surprised by the collection of tracks BIAB puts together, and that surprise can be pleasant or unpleasant. I doubt my interpretation of what is jazz would match anyone else’s 100%. And then there is the indexing by genre. I report during testing any style descriptions I find that are clearly wrong, but most are subjective.

In the case of RealTracks, I can identify what I know I will never use, and just not copy those folders over from the supplied drive. Or I could delete those folders after installation. But styles, with their 8.3 names, are not easily identified. At least they do not take up as much room.

I need to think about this problem more. Melchimm, welcome to the forum. You must be very accomplished with BIAB or very patient to have used it for decades and not post.
