It's a backing track site and it has a lot of tracks that you can download as mp3's for free, but isn't that music sharing? Or is it legal since they are user uploaded?

Maybe they should have some sort of certificate/license. Not sure though

If it wasn't legal, believe me, someone would have shut them down a long time ago. I have downloaded dozens of backing tracks from this site and, once you sort out the losers (I really don't care for the ones with vocals) you have some great stuff to play along with, sing along with, record along with.

Go for it!

There's lots of great stuff there...seems to be nothing illegal about sharing these. I especially like the Jam Tracks..listed in the J search. http://www.guitarbackingtrack.com/bts/Jamtracks.htm

I had never heard of that site before, but after looking through, I think it could be an awesome tool for someone just looking to learn some new songs or (as I intend to use them) record some good covers. Thanks for the heads up!
