"For the people, by the people. ... Welcome to GarageBand, where you can

will

The site provides charts, with songs which have received the most favorable
reviews
from visitors rising to the top. With an overall catalogue of more than 100,000
songs, there's a lot of music available for fans to discover and download.
Conveniently grouped into various genres, among the more than 40 categories are
such niche positions as world fusion, electronic and electronica, progressive
and
experimental rock, pop punk and ambient. For those somewhat bemused by these
categories, a helpful pairing of widely known artists who perform in a
particular
genre is noted in the "View All Genres" section. Additional features of the site
include the facility of tracking down live performances in a specific geographic
area, while the Band Profile gives available biographical details as well as
information about songs, CD's and gigs. Free registration offers review
privileges
and the ability to create playlists.
