I'm running Build 1006.
The Bug in Melodist isn't fixed since 2022!
Omni Pack 2022 included wave files for Artist Performance Sets 11+12.
Omni Pack update 2023 does not have wave files for Artist Performance Sets 13+14.
So playing the songs in Artist Performance Sets 13+14 with the jukebox feature is a terrible experience. All wma have to extracted first, that is resoulting a 30-40 sec break between Songs on a 8Gen I7 Intel CPU.


* Wave files for AP sets 13-14 are not included by default. However, you have a good point that the songs can load faster if they are already present. There are a few different solutions.
(Option 1) If you want, you can fix this now by decompressing them. There is a handy utility located at C:\bb\Data\util\decompress.zip. Unzip this file and copy it to the Artist performance set folder - then, simply double-click on it - IMPORTANT: make sure that the .exe is INSIDE that one Artist performance subfolder. Do not put it in your main bb folder or in the RealTracks folder, as it will potentially decompress alot of .wma's in your folder that should not be decompressed, especially if you have the Audiophile version with the original never-compressed waves.
(Option 2) Contact us (email sales@pgmusic.com or use online chat) to request a patch to add the wave files (reference this forum thread).
(Option 3) (not yet implemented) We will be adding a setting that will tell Band-in-a-Box to keep uncompressed wave files, so that the second time you open the file it will be faster. Some people will want to leave this setting unchecked to save HD space, others will want it checked to improved song loading time.

* We are adding lyrics for all the Songs with Vocals to the Lyrics Documents window. This will be available in a free patch.

* We can duplicate the RealStyles bug in the Melodist and will fix.
