My problem is with picking styles. When I type the name of a song in style picker, ex. Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer, the name of the song is underneath. When I choose it, the styles that come up aren't remotely appropriate for the song. I would appreciate help to determine what I may be doing wrong.

Probably you are not doing anything wrong. Sometimes (often?) the styles listed are not ideal for the song title. They may be just the closest match to the song title you have entered.
The browser suggestions are based on song characteristics like time signature, tempo and feel. Styles get ranked by the number of characteristics the song and style share. So the highest rated styles should share several characteristics with the song.
Another consideration is the demo song for a style may not give you a good idea how the style will work in your song. The demo songs are designed to showcase capability, not remind you of a certain song.
One "trick" that you may find useful is to create a short chord sheet of four, eight or sixteen bars that reflect an important section of the song. Then when you select the "4 bar preview" option in the "Play Using Current Chord Sheet for Song" you get a much better idea how a style works with the song. Just remember the 4 bar preview is always bars 1 to 4; you can't select which bars to audition. When the 4 bar preview is selected the style you used to create the chord sheet is not replaced while if the option is not checked the style is loaded into the chord sheet for the audition.

The Song Title Browser was not intended to have exact matches, given that there are more song titles in the database than there are styles in Band-in-a-Box. What the Song Title Browser does is match styles to a song title based on genre, time signature, "Feel" (swing vs straight, 8ths vs 16ths), and tempo - it just helps you narrow down from thousands of styles to a handful.

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.

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."
