When I listened to the DEMO of each music style, I found that some were very fast and some were very slow. I found that the ones that are very slow, the playback address is the URL. If you are on the other side of the world, due to network reasons, sometimes the playback is very slow or even impossible to play.
I don't understand why BIAB puts the music style DEMO on the website. Is it because of copyright? Can it be designed to allow customers to choose whether to play locally or online.
Some are slow, some are fast. This will cause customers to feel uncomfortable when listening to music style demos, with lags, stops, and no sound occurring.

Which demos are you talking about? If the demo exists locally, Band-in-a-Box SHOULD play that one (instead of the online one)

Obviously, not all Demo songs are available locally, and if a local file is not found, as Andrew explained, BiaB automatically plays the version hosted on their web site. I'm not sure how this relates to the comments: When I listened to the DEMO of each music style, I found that some were very fast and some were very slow. Some are slow, some are fast. This will cause customers to feel uncomfortable when listening to music style demos, with lags, stops, and no sound occurring. The tempo of the song demo has nothing to do with the location they are stored at. The suggested tempo is always found in the Style Picker column:
BIAB & RB2024 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones

The suggested tempo is always found in the Style Picker column: What I mean by fast and slow is that the song demo plays slowly on the website. I have never said whether the song BPM is fast or slow. I hope the song demo is on the local hard disk, so that you can double-click immediately to hear, I do not know whether it is possible.

This sounds as though it is related to your Internet speed, and not to the issue with the online demo songs. if you run this test from the following link, what value does it give you for download and upload speeds? https://www.whatismyip.com/internet-speed-test/

You can download any missing wma style demos to X:\bb\RealTracks\Data\Style Demos Audio According to your prompts, I downloaded successfully, and then I put it in the directory you mentioned. But when I click on the music style, it still plays through the network.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
