Hello Folks, I'm using BIAB 2011 under XP & W7. The sets of RealTracks I have included only a very few RealTrack soloists. To remedy that, today, I bought set 237 - Jazz rock guitar, (one rhythm & three soloist tracks). I downloaded the bundle and it seemed to have been installed successfully on my W7 laptop. I pulled up a project to test it within, but wasn't able to located the files in the soloist dialogue. I tried locating by number but the system didn't even blink it ignored the number. I searched all realtracks in all styles then all soloists etc through the dialogue box but the four 237 files were not there. I used the dialogue box to search via genre, tempo/rhythm and all genres. Each with the same NIL return. I looked in the BB folder and located the 237 folder - played a few files through an audio player - no problems at all. I "uninstalled" and re installed the set and went through the same machinations earning the same results. What have I done? While trying and having a look I found the VERIFY button. I ran the tool & received a whole bundle of error message telling me that bt0 files couldn't be found for the recently installed solo RealTracks as well as other RTs I've bought...
INTERESTING...
when I auditioned these real tracks 2 days ago it said compatible with 2011 and UP. Today AFTER paying for, downloading and installing the files there's a lovely RED message saying 20016 and up is needed. There is every chance that I didn't read the red properly but I was sure I double checked. I am VERY displeased at the waste of money and time. Sorry to have wasted your time after wasting my time folks.

...RT Set 237 requires BIAB 2016 or higher. (It's in red at the bottom of the description.)
With this in mind, I'd check with Sales using Live Help or email and ask if this is still the case or if there is some way to get them to play in BIAB 2011. If it turns out that the set is not suitable, ask for a refund. PG Music will look after you.
Thanks Pipeline & Noel96, It's quite likely my fault. I've contacted PGM and asked for advice & assistance. I'll sus out if it's 11 or 11.5 later today.

PG Music support have come to - or possibly set up - the party by allowing me to exchange the 237 ReaTrack solos for a set that ought to be more compatible. Thank you Deryk & the support crew.

Add updated printing options, enhanced tracks settings, smoother use of MGU and SGU (BB files) within PowerTracks, and more with the latest PowerTracks Pro Audio 2024 update!
Download and install this to your RealBand 2024 for updated print options, streamlined loading and saving of .SGU & MGU (BB) files, and to add a number of program adjustments that address user-reported bugs and concerns.
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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
