You are probably getting e-mails from the unofficial Band-in-a-Box mailing list. The move was made from Yahoo Groups to io groups.

I'm not a moderator of that group and don't know why people are getting messages. In my case, I subscribed to that group years ago, when it was an eGroup. Yahoo bought eGroups and after that I would get very few e-mails, perhaps one a week often in response to another post I never got.

Now that it has been moved again, this time to io groups, I'm getting all the mails.

Anyway the solution is simple, Scroll down to the bottom of one of the e-mails, and click the unsubscribe link. That should do it.

BTW, PG Music has nothing to do with this.

Yep... that UNSUBSCRIBE button gets hit a lot in my emails.

It baffles me how I get on these lists but that button solves it.

I was subscribed to the original independent Band-in-a-Box mailing list. This was before PG's forum, when it was an eGroup if I remember correctly.

Then Yahoo bought eGroups and they ran it well for a while but lost interest. I guess they found it unprofitable.

I was still subscribed, could get and send mail, but I wasn't getting all the mail. Not even all the mail I sent.

I tried investigating but I could no longer log into the site. The admin suggested I close the account and open another, but I couldn't log in to close it.

The group wasn't very active, and this forum was, so I didn't mind.

Then Yahoo decided to change their groups so that users could no longer store files in the group cloud. So the original administrator moved it to io.groups.

When the move was made, I got two copies of every e-mail, which was a waste - if you read one, there is not sense reading the duplicate. So I unsubscribed one.

I'm guessing some people may have subscribed to this group so long ago that they forgot -- OR they have another Yahoo account and Yahoo screwed up the export by adding addresses from another group. THIS IS ONLY A GUESS - I have no knowledge.

Anyway, a simple unsubscribe seems to work.

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!

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."
