Band-in-a-Box, developed by PG Music, uses sg4 files to save songs created in the application. A file can contain the song's chord progression and associated arrangement settings, allowing Band-in-a-Box to recreate the accompaniment.
Band-in-a-Box is available for Windows and macOS. The sg4 format is an older Band-in-a-Box song format, so support may depend on the software version. It should not be confused with an audio file containing the completed performance.
Open the sg4 file in Band-in-a-Box on Windows or macOS. Use the program's Open command and select the file.
If a current version does not open the file, an older compatible version of Band-in-a-Box may be required.
Band-in-a-Box is the practical way to convert an sg4 file. Open the song in a compatible version and save it in a newer Band-in-a-Box song format, if the version provides that option.
The program can also render or export the song as audio or MIDI, producing a performance file rather than another sg4 file.
