Hi Jim.
That got me thinking so I asked AI: "What is the difference between billboard's top 100 of today and 30 years ago?"
Answer:
Today: The Billboard Top 100 of today showcases a diverse range of music genres, including pop, hip-hop, R&B, EDM, and Latin music. There is a significant presence of rap and hip-hop artists dominating the charts.
30 Years Ago: In contrast, 30 years ago, the Billboard charts were more dominated by rock, pop, and R&B music. Genres like grunge and gangsta rap were emerging but had not yet reached the mainstream popularity they enjoy today. <end of answer>

My personal appeal to the Coders, Developers and Peter Gannon is for more relevent RT's and Styles for todays music. On form I doubt this will happen but the competition is about to become scary

Hi Izzy,
I was thinking about different types of musical files such as WAV, MP3, MP4, audio loop, midi, effects, VSTis and so on that Band-in-a-Box can utilize. You appear to be thinking of the music genre content Band-in-a-Box offers.
Several users have posted songs from the music genres listed in the User Showcase; some to prove it can be done and some because they enjoy current music genres.
Band-in-a-Box can use almost any audio source or tool (except for VST3 plugins which is promised sometime in 2024) a DAW can use.
The key take-away to using Band-in-a-Box to make current music is you have to use your creativity different. By that I mean you have to learn to use the tools in Band-in-a-Box to structure your modern song the way current songs are structured, not the way you may have created a song in the past.
