I saw that the problem was already described. It’s the same the 2 users " hnbt6171" and " NyHC "
You just need to wait that they update the link with the good version
They found the issue !
Allright Thanks
Me to. 
It seems to work for me on Win 10. However it still clunky even in this simplified format. I added 10 songs to a playlist and it took forever because there is no multi select, and you have click several times for each song, its not obvious that you have added a song to the play list so you forget where you were at (the last one you added is not even highlighted) The Playlist interface seem pretty useless, why not add songs from this tab? … . the interface looks nice, but its still not very user friendly… You guys really need a proper UI designer that has some experience.
Other then general griping, I do have a question, I purchased the full library, but see no way to add songs from it to this new software, they are all in BBS format… And I cant see their names even if it did allow for the import of BBS format, does this mean that I have to go into BB Manager and export every song from the library I want to use in the loader? Please tell me that I missed something in this software.

Hi there, are you using Mac or PC?
We likely will have some improvements to make this workflow easier soon, remember this is an intermediary product to allow users to access and organize content without the fuss of using BBM1. BBM2 will make BBL obsolete save for users who prefer its simplicity.
You would load the entire premium content onto the SD card using the Load Full Project option on the home screen, note this will delete the content on the SD. Merging projects is not supported by BBL so if you have content outside of the Premium content, it would make sense to:
- first place all songs you have already on the SD in one folder or use several folders
- Export the folder (s) and drumsets
- Load the premium content on the SD and clear the SD
- open the new project using Edit SD Card option on home screen
- import the folder(s) you exported
We may have a better solution for this soon
I just PMd you, check your inbox!
Thanks for your insight. Not a fan of “Beta so for that reason” ”I’m gonna wait.”
I hate to sound negative… but seriously? I was excited to see a post with new software… until I read what it does and does not do. Waiting a decade for a software that literally only sorts and loads songs. Wow… Maybe I’m missing something, but that can all be done in the current BBM can’t it? I’ve never had a problem loading songs or re-ordering them.
I must be completely missing something in what the Loader does because this seems like a bit of a waste of resources. I’m sure there are dozens of things the BB users would have rather seen than a new process to load and sort… especially seeing all of the trouble that people are posting with it even working.
Hoping for more.

I think the main benefits of the loader is a cleaner interface and the ability to manage your playlists in the loader.
The other thing is, on a Mac you can’t sync, you have to re-export to the card each time. This wipes out your settings and other inconveniences. So I could see a scenario where I use the current BB Manager to create/modify songs, and then use the loader to load and manage the card content.
I haven’t used the loader or 4.1 yet (due to the transition forgiveness), but I am excited to see what they are doing with the BB Manager 2. It’s at least signs of life, if nothing else.
BBM can’t sort song, folders or drumkits.

A very basic question.
I have BBM and it works fine. I like the idea to have this BBLoader for the interim to sort and load songs.
Can this software read the existing BB Project and use that as a starting point?
If I start by inserting the SD Card, will it have to save the project to a new location?
Hey there, this product is an SD mgmt tool so anything you want to use and edit must be on SD, once on SD any previous BBL project should work when opening on BBL
Another question: Would there be an issue if you use the BBL to modify SD card content and then plug it back into the BBM?
There should be no huge issue, but, in the end, they were not designed to work together since BBM1 has not been and will not be worked on so it could not be amended to support BBL.
We did however try it and it should work, you may run into issues with your playlists if you somehow rewrite the .csv using BBM1, which if I recall correctly is possible. But we did check that BBM user projects open in the BBL and they do.
Let us know if you find it working differently!
Thanks for the question

All I can say is, I use Ubuntu and the BBM works under WINE just fine, although it has major flaws and limited functionality (not due to WINE, due to the program itself)
This loader will not see the SD card under WINE (I may have to tweak some things) but if the BBM2 comes out and will not work under WINE or you do not release a Linux version, I will be totally shut out and screwed. Just a heads up there.
Hi,
I’m a newbie in BB. I have the same issue with BBL on macOS High Sierra (10.13.6). Can you send me the same link ?
Thank you
The version I have will only fix PC, to fix the issue with mac follow the steps in the top post of this thread when installing. I will also point out that we are not testing or providing support for High Sierra.
Thanks for the question
