There are more and more styles, and only relying on memory or searching will delay a lot of time. I don't know if it can import MP3, WAV audio file fragments, and then automatically find similar styles.
This can greatly save time and be more accurate.
I hope I already have this feature, but I haven't found it yet, so I won't use it.
If not, I hope to add it later.

One feature you can use is in the styles picker and search for the title of a well known song which will then give you BIAB style suggestions.

Also, if you find a style you like, you can save it to a list of Favorites so you can quickly find it again without having to memorize.

Others can comment on importing audio files.

Band-in-a-Box can not select a style based on importing an audio file.

The StylePicker has a feature that you may find useful if you have a song title.

Open the StylePicker
Select the "Find Titles" button
Enter a song title in the Filter String textbox
Select OK - Find Matching Styles

The point is that I rarely listen to these English songs, so where can I listen to these songs?

The quick answer is over the internet using a music service like YouTube Music, Apple's music service, Spotify or Pandora. However, I don't know if you can access these services.

I saw your +++ Wishlist Request +++ to add Oriental instrument RealTracks. The MP3 file you provided helps a lot. Both songs are interesting to listen to and are well done.

If you are intending to create songs similar to your example try some of the K-Pop and J-Pop styles.

You may want to make another wishlist request for song suggestions from imported audio.

Then I find a way to check youtube more, can I recommend a few good music channels?

I found JPOP and KPOP, but they feel different. In fact, I think the music is based on Western music. It has a lot to do with the use of musical instruments.
Japanese music likes minor tunes, and there are many rock guitars
Korean music electronic fashion dance
Chinese pop songs give people the feeling that there are mountains and rivers, and they like to use pipa, flute, and erhu.
Currently BIAB lacks REALTRACKS such as Pipa, Dizi and Erhu

I will write a wish list later. But I think it is more difficult to import MP3 to automatically match the style. grin

I went to YouTube and typed "Oriental Music" in the search bar and received many hits.

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.

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."
