I strongly disagree with MarioD's suggestion.

I have said many times that BiaB has to be rewritten from the ground up. It is a great little gold mine being held back by old code.


1. This won't happen in the next 10 years. The current version of BiaB is already profitable, why would PG Music risk the status quo to build something from scratch?

2. As far as I know, the old code infested GUI is the main reason prevent young people from wanting to use BiaB. That gives all existing BiaB users the advantage over these young musicians who don't use BiaB.

3. The less young people use BiaB, the more valuable a current BiaB user can be. It would be a nightmare when BiaB becomes an iPhone type of popularity, all of a sudden every young musician knows how to use it, wants to use it, and makes top notch music with ease. It would be devastating to the current music market.

4. A bit of industrial barrier is always a good thing. It prevents new competitors from flooding into the industry.

BiaB's old code embeded interface and steep learning curve is the "protective barrier", and I consider it a bless under disguise.
