I know this thread has been made before but the links in the replies were no longer active.I use to go here https://www.bensax.nl/biab/index.html - but the site is no longer active. I also use https://bhs.minor9.com/biab/jazz/I/ and https://tamos.net/~bemo/horn-arrangements/books%20and%20hot%20charts/%20Download%20BIAB%20songs%20finale%20files/ but still they are missing a lot of content. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Anything with a melody is potentially a copyright infringement, so that may explain some disappearing.

bhs.minor9.com seems to be back.
midkar.com has quite a few.

Our own "Notes" Norton http://www.nortonmusic.com/ does excellent fake book tracks, no melody or lyrics. There are notes under Support about copyright.

Thanks for the kind words, Gordon.

I have a number of "fake disks", chord progressions with BiaB styles recommended. In most cases they will appear with a MIDI style assigned, and the BiaB app will suggest an appropriate RealTrack style. It's the only way to please both MIDI and Real style people.

Most of the fake disks also have an optional, published music book available. You can open the book, choose the BiaB song, and sing and/or play along. The words and melody are in the books.

Free downloadble samples are in the song list section of the fake disks.

I also have some free songs (without melodies) here:

Notes ♫

PS, we are in the process of double-checking a new version of Fake Disk #2, The Pop/Rock Fake disk. This features all new styles, since thousands of styles have been created since I made that disk back in the 1990s. We've been working on the update almost a year now. It will be a free update for anyone who purchased Fake Disk #2 from me.

I'll post something here when it's finally double-checked and ready.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
