26. Why don't my Styles appear in the StylePicker window?
The BBW.LST text file located in the /Band-in-a-Box®/Data folder defines most of the information in the StylePicker window. This file is updated when we release new Styles so that the StylePicker window will recognize them. Band-in-a-Box® styles (.STY files) should all be located within the /Band-in-a-Box®/Styles folder. There are a few different explanations for why the styles wouldn't show up:
-
You may be filtering the StylePicker list by feel/tempo, or by Styles Set #. Click the [Show All] button.
-
You may be trying to view all the styles in a specific Styles Disk, but you don't have the "All Styles" category selected.
-
The StylePicker list may need to be rebuilt (normally this is done automatically when new styles are installed). Press the [Re-Build] button.
-
Download and install the latest update patch for your version, available from http://www.pgmusic.com/support_macintoshupdates.htm. It may include updated style support.
-
-
Are you wondering why some of the categories are empty, or have very few styles? You may have the basic "Pro" version of the program, which only includes a basic set of styles. You can get many more styles by upgrading to one of the MegaPAK (or higher) packages.
-
Are you looking for RealStyles, Styles with RealTracks, or Styles with RealDrums? These are installed with the RealTracks and RealDrums installers, not with the Band-in-a-Box® program installer.
-
Are you sure the styles installed to the correct place? Perhaps you have moved your Band-in-a-Box® folder from the default location in /Applications/Band-in-a-Box®. Or perhaps you are using an older installer that was intended for Band-in-a-Box® versions 12 and earlier - if you are using an older installer, it will install the styles to the Band-in-a-Box® Folder on the root level of your hard drive. Contact us to get an updated installer, or copy the CONTENTS of '/Band-in-a-Box® Folder/Styles' to '/Applications/Band-in-a-Box®/Styles'. Be certain to copy the contents of the folder only, and not to replace the entire Styles folder.

There are other places you can listen to these songs too! Visit our User Showcase page to sort by genre, artist (forum name), song title, and date - each listing will direct you to the forum post for that song.
