Of course, you can just buy only the Xtra Styles PAKs you want, but for the way I use it, I want as many as I can get. They sold for $50 each, but now you can get 1-9 for the low, low price of $349! The good news is that there are usually sales on the Xtra Styles PAKs when the new version of BIAB comes out. Styles are combinations of Realtracks into musical styles. They also sell something called Xtra Styles PAKs. The Audiophile Edition outputs uncompressed files, either Wav or AIFF depending on which version you buy. The UltraPAK+ for an additional $100 seems to be exactly the same, only with some songs and lessons.
Also I would definitely buy it when the latest version comes out, which is the end of the year for the PC and (I think) Spring/Summer for Mac. It is the first one that has their full set of recordings of musicians, and it has no less than 2900+ of them. If I was going to start up with BIAB today it would be with their UltraPAK, which costs $469 (!!!!) There's a link at the end of the video above, but here it is. I got into the details of buying it in my video but it didn't fit, so I made a separate video out of it. When I bought BIAB when it came out in 1990 it was about sixty bucks, but getting it now is very expensive and confusing.
