I had no trouble using the full JABB sounds. You need to use the
Kontakt Player 2 to get them loaded into the file, and that interface
is nowhere near as clear and elegant as the new Aria Player that comes
with Finale, but it works decently. I'm not sure of this, but the
impression I think I got from Gary was that the Aria player would
eventually be a piece of stand alone software, in which case, perhaps
it will become available for use with the full Garritan sounds and the
Kontakt Player will become unnecessary. Until then, you use the
Kontakt software and the instrument list in Finale, and everything
works smoothly.
My needs are pretty well served by the full JABB, but there are times,
even in my "jazz" work that I need GPO instruments (Horns, for
instance), and the two sets of sounds are easily integrated into a
file using the Kontakt Player software.

in the Fin2009 package.
That is correct. I am using only the Garritan sounds that come with
Finale 2009. It looks like the full Garritan library for jazz
instruments is more extensive? If I purchased that full package, are
those additional sounds easy to integrate into Finale?
