I treated myself to the 2020 Pluspak upgrade but my wife is going to buy me Xtra styles 8, Loops and styles 1 and the 49 pak as a Christmas present.
The loops and styles disc and xtra styles 8 I can find hidden away under 'add ons' but nowhere can I see the 49 pak.
live chat tells me i have to buy a complete package, add the 49 pak when i buy, then delete the package from the cart before checking out.
I know the 49 pak needs the 2020 version of the program but this does seem a little odd.

The 49PAK isn't available by itself because it is a bonus PAK that is added to and requires the 2020 version. If someone has purchased the 2020 version and now wants the 49PAK, this isn't a problem, please contact us and we can add it to your order. Or if you want to order online again you could use the method suggested.

So, if I don't purchase each annual 49PAK when it's offered, I don't get a second chance?
I started with 2014 Pro, then upgraded to 2019 Mega and 2020 Ultra. I've also purchased all 8 available Xtra Styles packs, but none of the 49PAK add-ons.
I don't see anyway to purchase 49PAKs from previous years.
Am I missing something?
TIA

Bob was just saying that he had already ordered the 2020 version and now wanted to add the bonus PAK by itself since he didn't say "yes" to adding it originally.

Hi The Maartian,
As far as I'm aware, bonus packs from previous years are not available. I suggest using the direct chat to ask PG Music sales staff.
Regards, Noel

thanks Andrew, i'll probably try to download the xtra styles 8, the loops 1 and the 48 pak on Christmas day or the day after (do you call it Boxing Day in Canada?)
i'll use the online method suggested and buy the upgrade, tick the box for the 48 pak and then delete the upgrade (hope it works!)

I've seen RealTracks from a 49PAK I bought reappear in the following year's "new" RealTracks so I assume they roll them into the next version.

Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

You might also inquire about the OMNI-pack which has everything they produce. Doing what you are doing I might try to go that route.

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.

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."
