When I open songpicker in it's home folder x/bb/songs it tells me it's empty and I have to rebuild the songlist.
I see songpicker writes a songfilelist and a log in x/bb/data.
Next time I open songpicker in the same homefolder it appears empty again and asks me to rebuild etc.
I transferred all my songs to xx/bb/songs and i can see them in explorer, the songpicker sees them, but has amnesia next time I open it

Well, this kind of thing is one of the reasons I keep all my songs in a separate folder outside of Bandbox.
With 2019, you only have to search for the folder the first time. After that it automatically goes there.

Rob, what release build version of 2019 are you using?
I thought this was resolved prior to Build 604, but your issue may be different.

Great. Let's wait to see what Support delivers. Most important is that they know of the problem and can address it.

Because pgmusic tells about a maximum of 50000 songs to be indexed in the songpicker I moved all my 22.500 songs to x/bb/songs . Here biab failed to remember this number. Today I tried to let biab songpicker index some smaller subfolders and that worked. So it's partly solved. Seems my jazzfolder with 16000 titles is to big to handle. I removed my jazz folder from the songs folder and now songpicker is working fine.

Yes I can join you in verifying this problem. I have 28516 songs and the load stops at 52% and goes no further. Then when I re-enter the list, it prompts me to recreate. This is very buggy and along with many other "new features" needs fixing.

Another tester reported the indexing percentage stopped midway like you are saying, but then the process appeared to have worked, or mostly worked, despite appearing to not work. Anyway, I’m sure the patch is being worked on.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
