Since I wrote this in the Renderosity forums I guess I should write it here too... someone asked me what sets had/had not been updated and I replied:
One of the best ways to tell what's been updated now is to look at my SongbirdReMix.com page. Recently, I flipped around the huge list on that page to "what's left" (not updated yet). If you're looking if specific sets have been updated there's two ways... my webpage store can tell you or you can look through my store at Renderosity (every description of a product says on of two things; "This product was completely updated in late September 2021 to include..." or "NOTE: This product is still in the "old" Songbird ReMix format. It will be upgraded to..."
As for spreadsheets, the online tool found in the new sets in the "Bird Library" folder called "! Bird Finder" links to an Excel (xls) file kept on my website. This file has every bird subspecies (including subspecies and variants) created in Songbird ReMix format (both updated and non-updated).
The spreadsheet tells you exactly where to find the birds in the new library system so you don't have to be an ornithologist or advanced birder. The reason I have chosen to keep this file in xls format for users is to help them with my bird library system. It shows you exactly what folder to find the birds in and because it's in xls format you can sort it to your own needs. For example, recently I had someone comment they liked the old library format because they wanted only birds from a specific region (e.g. S America). Using "Bird Finder", you can sort by the "Continent/Region" column and get ALL the birds I've done that are found in S America (not just from "Amazon", but from the "Yucatan", "Cool and Unusual", "Toucans" and "Parrots" sets, etc as well). Want only endangered birds? No problem, you can sort by the "R-E-D" column and then sub-sort by "Continent/Region".
