That sounds promising!
Will the same amount of real tracks be present for the Mac version as the Windows version Peter?

I think it shoud sell for double the PC price. After all you paid way more for your computer right? And they promised it came with all the easy to use software you'd ever need.
(Ducks) LOL.

Yes, the same amount of RealTracks and RealDrums will be available for Mac and Windows.
BTW, erstoke, I edited the subject title of your thread, from "BB 2009 for Macintosh shipping" to "BB 2009 Macintosh - when will it be shipping" - to avoid confusion, as it isn't shipping now.
Have Fun!

Time for me to shop for a Mac. Any suggestions as to what model to get? I'll be using the Mac primarily to run Biab and Sibelius.
Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions

I had given up checking each week for news like this.
Thanks for not giving up on the Mac version.
I'm a bit ashamed at how eager I am to spend money on this.
Good Luck

Any chance of an estimate of release date Peter?
Thanks for answering my earlier post btw.

Ed, you raise an interesting question. For the PC version, every year they can pretty much roll over the beta testers. We know each other rather well.
For the Mac, however, it's been awhile since the last version, and there are a whole lot of new as well as experienced users to consider serving as beta testers. Perhaps PG Music will put out a call for a new group of testers.

Second quarter already passed you by there, Mate. Third quarter started on April 1st. Still no Mac version. I'm not holding my breath.
With all due respect, it's not nice to hold people hostage while you 'waffle and twaddle' your way through software development and customer service. Some of us don't buy BIAB because we like you, Peter. We buy it because we have no other choice for this type of software. Please don't continue to abuse that position lest you be knocked off your pedestal by people who despise you. Someone might get tired of PG Music's attitude and make a competing product with better service, support, and feature set, then what will you do?

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."
