I recently purchased the Loops-with-style pak as well as the Xtra Styles pak 8 for Mac and, though I can see the Xtra Styles 8 pak in my style browser, I'm unable to see the Loops-with-style pak.
I have Ultrapak 2019 for Mac, build 317.
Has anyone had a similar issue or suggestions to resolve this?

Hello Chuck,

If you sort by the Set column, they are all the styles under "misc" with a 2019 date and the style names end in "with loop".

In response to the recommendation about finding the "Loops-with-style" pak 1, it was recommended by BiaB staff (see above) that I go to set column => misc" under 2019 date and look for style names ending in "with loop" to find the specific pak.

I've done as recommended and was unable to find any style names ending "with loop" Granted, I have a number of paks over the last 4 years, but this particular one was not seen. I'm certain that the Loops-with-style pak was installed along with the "Xtra Styles 8" pak that I also purchased at that time.

Further suggestions from anyone?

Yes, you could just download it from your online account (My Products) and reinstall, then rebuild the StylePicker.

I did that originally, including the install from my online account. I think that I rebuilt the StylePicker, but am not totally certain about that.

How do I rebuild the StylePicker? Also, if I reinstall the product over the top of a prior install, would this create an issue with 2 co-existing installs in the same program?

The StylePicker has a Rebuild button. It doesn't matter if you install it again.
You could search for the style "_ANVIL" in the StylePicker, or in your Band-in-a-Box folder --> Styles folder. If you have the style _Anvil.sty, that would confirm you have the loops-with-styles.

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."
