But, shouldn't they be preloaded in the interface? Do I have to load them? The tutorials on YouTube show the Genre Folder populated already.

Just checked. Song Templates folder is indeed empty. Please advise.

@Julian-Grant I would suggest to reinstall Music Maker.

I did. I reinstalled the copy sent once I got my Premium License. I uninstalled the FREE version and then reinstalled the Premium. What other solutions might I have?

@Julian-Grant Maybe it helps if you go into the program settings and click on the button to clean up the store. This will delete the old cache.

Ok. It's worth a shot.

I just had the same problem, when I looked at "C:\ProgramData\MAGIX\Music Maker\29\SongTemplates" I had a folder "SongMakerTemplates" This had all the files required so I copy and pasted them back into "SongTemplates" and restarted Music Maker. It now has the Genre in Song Maker

May I ask where you had the file folder you copy/pasted? With thanks

Prior to this, after reinstalling Music Maker, I had to go to the far right downloads tab and reinstall the loops and packs

It was located inside "C:\ProgramData\MAGIX\Music Maker\29\SongTemplates" , actual location is "C:\ProgramData\MAGIX\Music Maker\29\SongTemplates\SongMaker Templates" 

I can see the files now but nothing on the interface. Will DL the Update and see if this makes any difference. Thx., Kevin K911 for all the help.

I'm stumped. I see the xml files now in the folder - but nothing in the interface. It's very frustrating. I've updated the software. Am not sure what to do now.

@Julian-Grant Cleaning up the store didn't help? You can also try to select File > Settings > Reset program settings to default or logging out, restart Music Maker and logging back in.

None of this worked. Reset to Default. Logged back in. It's a real mystery??

Am doing another reinstall? Might as well.

Full Reinstall. Still not working? Same problem as before.

@Julian-Grant I sent you a private message.

I did. I reinstalled the copy sent once I got my Premium License. I uninstalled the FREE version and then reinstalled the Premium. What other solutions might I have?

Sometimes I get confused but surely when you reinstall you start off by reinstalling the free version. Once that is installed you download and install all the additional content relating to Premium edition, which I assume includes song maker, from within the program.

@Graham-Hawker But it looks like Song Maker is already installed or else @Julian-Grant wouldn't see the Song Maker GUI (and the missing templates). Replacing the SongTemplates folder with my folder didn't work. And deleting the MusicMaker.ini also did not work.

Thanks everyone for chiming in and helping. I appreciate the support.

FANTASTIC. Me too. This worked. Kastewei, am in your debt.
