You've made some interesting suggestions. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

I don't know if the Mac program handles song project folders differently but I'd like to share what I do in Windows. I create a song project folder on my desktop. Normally the folder name is as simple as the name of the song although sometimes I add the month and year. EVERYTHING regarding the song project goes inside the song folder including notes, lyric sheet and sub folders created by Band-in-a-Box (BiaB) or a DAW. Once a song is complete or I'm tired of working on it the desktop folder is moved to archive storage.

I'm not sure if the installer you mention is the Download Manager or the individual program and content installers.

The Download Manager is updated frequently as the program and content are updated. The BEST way to ensure you are installing current stuff is to use the Download Manager.

Some users store their installers in a secure location. The issue is one or more installers may receive an update and you may not realize it.

If you keep the installer files in the download folder then you can download just the Download Manager and it will tell you if any files need updating.

I'm glad you appreciate the "Help" file. I like it too.
