How does one retrieve a 'lost' song?

Last night I was playing a backup track for Somewhere Over The Rainbow. When I was finished, I went to select Oh Lonesome Me. A window popped up asking 'ok to change to Oh Lonesome Me?'...well, I thought it was asking if it was okay to change to the next song I had selected. I was wrong. Now I can't find my backup track to over the rainbow, and I now have 2 identical tracks of oh lonesome me. Any ideas? I searched the entire menu for an undo or something that might get the lost track back, but to no avail. I could use some expert advice should anyone care to share opinions. Thanks guys...Bob

Robert,

Sorry I do not have an answer to your question. It's really more of a computer question than a BIAB question as it would apply to any lost file, regardless of program.

You may want to try posting in the "Computers" section too and see if you get some help.

take any other BIAB song and do a "save as".
the dialog should tell you which default folder BIAB saves to (no need to actually save).
On a Mac, BIAB saves to your account's documents folder

Both your songs are still there. One of them got it's name changed when you saved it. I think if you play both songs, you'll see that you have two different songs under the same name. The one that is named wrong....just do a "save as" using the right name.

Thanks a million guys. I DO appreciate the help. Sorry I haven't thanked anyone sooner. As you all know, things tend to get a little too busy at times to do the things you want to do. lol Thanks again. I'll go on the hunt now.
