Chapter 5: Playing Songs in Band-in-a-Box

The “Favorites” and “Recently Played” Radio buttons toggle between a list of your recently played songs (or styles),

and your favorite songs (or styles).

Favorite Song/Style lists can be edited, sorted, saved/loaded, and used with the jukebox. You can add an unlimited

# of favorites.

The favorites list will start off as an empty one. But you can add songs as your favorites, by

clicking the Add Favorite button (this button is also found in the StylePicker).

You can make a new list of songs for a set by using the [Clear] button followed by the [Append], [Insert], and

[Delete] buttons to add songs.

You can save and load sets of favorites or recently played songs (or styles).

Once you have the set, you can press the [Juke...] button. This will play the set file in order, not randomly. It will

start from the currently selected song.

The [Sort] button sorts the list alphabetically.

When “Save As” is used to save a song with a different name the new name will be added to the Recently Played

song dialog.

Technical Note: The list of songs/style favorites is stored in a text file called SongFavorites.txt (or StyleFavorites.txt) in the

BB folder.

Favorite Styles in the StylePicker

In the StylePicker, an “F” appears beside the name of any style that is a favorite. The favorite styles are the ones

that you’ve identified as favorites, either by pressing the [Add Favorite] button in the Favorite Styles dialog, or the

similar button in this StylePicker dialog.

You can make any style a favorite by clicking the [Add Favorite] button. If you want to remove it, click the button

again.

“Only Show favorites” will only show the favorite styles in any list that you have opened.

Global Song Overrides

Global overrides are found in Preferences [Overrides], which allow you to set

the overall song looping (always OFF, always ON, or as set in the song).

Similar overrides are available to see which other information gets loaded from a file, such as patches, harmonies,

volume/reverb/chorus/panning/banks. For example, you can set every song to load with looping ON, and don’t load

any reverb settings from songs.

For example, if you want every song loaded to have looping set to on, then set “Always set loop to ON.”

But if you are going out on a playing job, and don’t want any songs to loop, then set it to “Always set loop to OFF.”

If you want the settings to work the same way they did in previous versions, use the “As set in the song” setting, or

press the [Defaults] button.
