That worked out fine!
Many Thanks.

I was a bit confused since the other zip files opened ok with standard W10 explorer but not the music files.

I was able to open all the files except music.zip.003 and music.zip.005 with 7-Zip. Failed to open 003 and 005. I have reloaded the several times. Fault "no archive file".

Does anyone know what compression software that was used to produce these archive files?

I have retested and they are fine. With 7 zip you just click on the .001 file and extract from there.

Thank you very much.

I am downloading all the files now
Seems to be progressing smoothly.

Just wondering.

Is the real book file the one originally included with biab DOS released by PG Music on 5.25 diskettes.
I remember having that way back when. Sadly I no longer have it nor a 5.25 diskette drive.

In that case it works out fine.
Music.zip.oo1 extracts fine.
(I thought I had to extract each file individually)

Many Thanks for these!

Thanks a lot Allanah for your hard work in this Christmas Goodie, having a little trouble too extracting 003 and 005, but so much in the others, so a million thanks once again.

FYI: As a general policy after downloading the files make sure you scan them for viruses.

To unzip the music files you have to click on the 001 file and the rest will unzip automatically. Don't do them individually.

Dear Allanah,

First of all, thank you for this. It is a trasure cove.

But there are Viruses inside some of the RAR files (Software packages).
Can you remove those files, so fellow members will not be infected?

Best Regards

I have only found one infected file: Applied.Acoustics.StringStudio.VSTi.DXi.RTAS.v1.10_www.softarchive.net.rar, but as a precaution I would make sure you scan them before opening which is always prudent.


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

I have put together a collection of play-along (no melodies) Christmas music in Band-in-a-Box format. Like you have done, I would like to make this available for free to anyone who wants it. These are different from what you have in your Christmas collection. What is the best way for me to distribute these songs so that people who would like them can find, download, and use them easily? Would you consider adding them to your collection?

Yes, that would be very helpful... when I scanned OO1 with Defender it identified the mentioned file... and deleated it... I'm not sure if it's safe to extract the individual files in 001 and then re-scan.

Thank you for your generosity & effort...

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!

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."
