I think the styles were added during 2023, and are included in the patch as well as the latest RealTracks installers. So I don't think there is an error or mystery. My reaction is that I have to install version 2023 1013. If I don't install the 2023 1013 version, then there will be 13 less styles.

Dear SBM, dear Expert, trust our PGM friends, thank you.
If you need 13 styles besides the 11000, I am willing to send them to you.
But this is starting to sound like some form of manic obsession, isn't it?
Because after calculation, this represents 0.00118181818% of potentially missing files.
That wouldn't stop me from sleeping.
And you ? thank you. But I don't need you to give it to me. Because it's in BIAB 2023 VER1013. But if I don't install BIAB 2023 VER1013, then I lose style 13. I think these 13 styles should be in BIAB2024. For example, if someone buys BIAB2024 and installs all of the REALTRACKS and styles, and still finds that 13 styles are missing, but installs them all again, there may be a misunderstanding. So, I'm here to tell him that these 13 styles are in BIAB2023 VER1013. To be honest, I think it was a mistake in my work. Because in the past, I asked do the latest updates all include the past? The answer is yes. But obviously these 13 styles are not included. Even if you gave it to me. 100 more people, you want to keep giving?
So, can we BIAB official supplement these 13 styles in the new upgrade of BIAB2024?

Thanks ,Andrew Maybe because of the translation, I didn't understand your reply correctly. I'm really sorry. You mentioned the latest RealTracks. Excuse me, is this RealTracks446-448 file? Is that right?

You should download and install these files, as it looks like you have old versions:
realtracks406-411.exe
realtracks417-422.exe
realtracks423-425.exe Excuse me. I want to be careful. Does that mean I should re-download these RealTracks? Because you updated these three files again? Is that right? Since I am not familiar with English language, I must ask carefully.

For example, if your BIAB is updated, you would say. I'll update it. (1102,1103...1109..etc) But when you say your "latest RealTracks" do you mean that you will update RealTracks as well? So which one did you update to solve the problem? Can you tell me which file I need to download again?

realtracks406-411.exe
realtracks417-422.exe
realtracks423-425.exe Will that resolve the missing RealTracks #429? May I ask why you mentioned #429? What does this #429 have to do with any of this? thank you.

Please let me know if these are actually OK though and that you have _GRIST and _SWEETIE etc styles. For me, it takes a long time. Re-download, update, re-install, very slow. So, I have to ask very carefully every time.

But it won't work in 2024. I can't lose time with this LOOP. Thank you for remembering that I reinstalled it to use LOOP.

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
