Yes, I also install BIAB on an external drive (It's too big for the C-drive smile )

Don't you have to install all the real-tracks when you update to a new version of BIAB?

Can you simply point to the old folder and then BIAB will accept them?

I went from Windows10 to Windows11 this year, and BIAB2026 is the first BIAB-install I have on Windows11, and so I went through and installed all the real-tracks (And all the various other addon-packs I have bought through the many years) again on the new machine (Because I figured it was necessary to do this so Windows would register everything correctly, but perhaps I could have just pointed the new BIAB2026 to the old realtracks-folder... that certainly would've saved me a days worth of installing haha smile )

Anyway, an automatic process, that could check-out everything one has bought over the time, would still be super-nice so one doesn't forget to install something or install the same content multiple times (For example, I bought BIAB2024 ultra-pack, but only BIAB2026 Pro, so now I have realtracks called realtracks and other realtracks called pro-tracks in the download-manager, and I'm not really sure if the pro-tracks are just some of the same real-tracks I already have from earlier versions of BIAB where they were called realtracks. So I downloaded and installed everything, but perhaps that meant a lot of gigabytes were really unnecessary to download and install. I really do find it confusing and really think the management-system is ready for an overhaul so there is just one single list of files on has and can download and install)

Was hoping they would make this Wish happen, even if it meant adding only 199 new RealTracks instead of 200! lol

Yes, I actually went with the BIAB2026-pro version this time because I really don't need any more realtracks for now (I actually wish there were much more midi-content)

And when I checked what was new in the 2026-ultrapack version it was clear that I would end up paying 100 dollars for a few new realtracks because I already had all the other things from when I got BIAB2024-ultrapack.

I do love the realtracks (Mostly the real-drums actually), but, to be blunt, I'm not into country or jazz so I personally don't really need more of that (And, to my ears at least, the new realtracks sounded mostly like a repeat of what has already been made. I do feel like it's kind of stagnated a bit when it comes to innovation. A couple of versions ago they released a cello, which is awesome, and I do wish they would come up with more different things like that, instead of always centering around country and jazz. But that's of course subjective and really only relevant for my own music-needs so it's not meant as any kind of complaint smile )
