Q: Sounds silly - but, which Jam Packs have I installed?
Watching a Logic Pro 9 screencast today, I noticed that the order of software instruments in the presenter's Library was very different from mine - in respect, it seemed, of which Jam Packs were loaded. His actually listed 'Jam Pack 1', 'Jam Pack 2', 'Jam Pack 3' etc at the bottom of his list.
Although I did a complete install from the Pro/Studio DVDs (albeit an upgrade from Express), I don't have 'Symphonic Jam Pack' (or anything like it)… the one I'm most interested in.
Instead I have '01 Logic Instruments', '02 Acoustic Pianos', '03 Bass' etc down to '10 Orchestral', which leads to what I've always assumed was the Apple Symphony Jam Pack. After '14 Surround', I have what appears to be a duplicate GarageBand pair: 'Shared GarageBand Sett…', 'GarageBand' and only then two actual Jam Pack directories: 'Jam Pack Voices' and 'Jam Pack World Music'.
No errors. Nothing else wrong. Logic works perfectly!
Does that seem right?
*Does/do any of these correspond to the Apple Symphony Jam pack?*
How can I confirm that I have all my software instruments installed correctly: do they correspond to a directory structure in the Finder?
Can I tidy them, remove the duplicates, make more sense of the names?
Thanks!

Ministrel,
All I can find out is that if the installer runs to completion, the relevant sampler instruments do get distributed in the places intended for them.
I agree, it's still odd that some apparently complete packages get names and others do not.
The duplication of GarageBand Packs is also confusing.
