33."Problem reading Define.Txt" error after installing an update patch for one of the Multimedia or MasterClass programs.
Applies to: Rock & Blues Guitarist, Rock & Jazz Saxophonist, Sor Studies, Master Jazz Guitar Solos, Master Flatpick Guitar Solos, Blues Piano Solos, Bach Chorales, Barbershop Quartet, and all MasterClass programs
You may also get the error "Problem reading Contents.htm" or "Problem reading chapters.htm"; the same solution applies to these errors.
The update patches install a new application (.exe) file. If this file is not installed into the same folder as the rest of the program files, the program won't work properly. In this case, the application is looking for define.txt, chapters.htm, or contents.htm, but can't find these files. The fact that you get one of these errors would usually indicate that many other program files are missing from the directory; these are simply the first files that the application is looking for.
So, either (1) you didn't already have the full program installed on your hard drive, or (2) you already had the program installed on your hard drive but you didn't install the update patch into the correct directory.
You may have a version of the program that was originally designed to run from the CD, or you may have a version that was designed to be installed to the hard drive.
-
If your program requires the CD to be in the drive to run, you must first copy the CD contents to a location on the hard drive, such as C:\MyProgram\. For each CD, do this:
-
Create a folder for the program on your hard drive (ie C:\MyProgram\).
-
Navigate into the "Data" folder on your CD. Select all the files and folders within the Data folder using Edit | Select All or CTRL+A.
-
Copy and paste these files into the chosen directory on your hard drive (ie C:\MyProgram).
-
Highlight the contents of the folder (CTRL-A), right-click and choose Properties. In the Properties dialog make sure 'Read-only' is unchecked and press [Apply].
-
You are now ready to install the update patch. Double-click on the file you downloaded to run the installer. When asked to select the destination directory for installation, make sure to select the "MyProgram" folder before proceeding.
-
If the program doesn't require the CD to run (it runs from your hard drive), install the update patch to \MyProgram\Data\ if the data folder exists, or \MyProgram\ if there is no data folder, where "MyProgram" is the folder that you currently have the program installed in.
Note: The Master Blues Piano Solos should be installed in your Band-in-a-Box® folder (for example, C:\bb). When installing the update patch for this particular program, choose C:\bb as the destintation directory.

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.

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."
