Bands that do this should bring their tracks into Garageband with individual channels and make sure that they include some information on how the tracks can be used. BK made a big mistake by not explicitly saying that you are welcome to remix the tracks. Here are a few things to keep in mind: Put it in Garageband as individual tracks Invite people to remix your tracks Provide legal info - Creative Commons license, etc. Give people a way of sharing the tracks that they create. Don't expect a lot from this if people don't know who you are yet. Garret

None of it's pre-looped, but it's orchestral music with a tempo that varies, so that's understandable. It would be easy to chunk it and loop it. The part that I think is strange is that they didn't provide any licensing info, and they don't ask people to make remixes or to do anything with the Garageband files!

Trouble is they simply released each insturment track for each song as one long sound file rather than a loop, so actually doing any remixing would require a helluva lotta work on the part of the remixer. not worth it - doubly so since the pop-up click through license on the site disclaims you from being allowed to add new lyrics or slice n dice the existing. Are the Whopperettes files better mastered? They did this for the Coq Roq music for the Chicken Fries promotion as well.
