I want to use the functionality of the BiaB remote app on an iPad in the same room where my main PC with BiaB 2021 on it is. Both iPad and PC are on the same network.
I can see the BiaB server on the app, I can connect to the server and I can even see the songs that are stored in the default folder. But apart from that I can't get the app to do anything....
I can load a song, but it doesn't show on the screen and it won't play when I click play.

Is the app discontinued or am I just doing something wrong?

I can't even get the app to show my server. First the app reported my version was old, so I downloaded and ran one last dated 2015. It still did not register. I don't even know if this utility works anymore.

I did not realize there was a BIAB remote. I have used the other product listed in the app store BUT found it easier to just make mp3s and play along (my goal) using them.

Deb, you registered in 2017 and by then, there was no mention of this. I just thought I would find out what the story is.

My earliest version was 2015. Took me a while to find the forums and how great everyone here is. :-)

And, yes, I saw that in the BIAB 2021 manual also.

The BIAB Remote app does still work when using BIAB 2021 - I tested it myself just now. There are a couple issues though, since the server app hasn't been updated since 2015, but it does still function for me.

Mike - when you press play in the app it should play from your computer rather than from the iPhone/iPad. Is the sound on your computer turned up? Are you able to get sound from BIAB when using it normally? Also, which build version of BIAB are you using?

OK, now that I know it still exists and can work, I will make mine work. Thank you.

No worries Matt, we'll work on getting yours up and running as well.

Matt mentioned in his other forum thread that he has a VPN, which could cause all IP traffic to be routed through the tunnel, meaning the iPhone would be inaccessible. Matt - do you happen to have a VPN in use?

Yes, on both the browser on the desktop running the BIAB Server, and on my iPhone running the app.

Sorry Matt, I must've been pre-caffeine when I wrote that initially.

We have a really handy tutorial that goes over the app and how to use it here: https://www.pgmusic.com/support.iphone.htm

It also has some troubleshooting at the bottom.

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!

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.
