(sub. req.): GarageBand.com plans to revive a large archive of independent bands’ songs stored on MP3.com, tunes that were feared lost following the recent sale of some of that site’s assets to CNET…
The archives are back at, where else, www.mp3isback.com. GarageBand, which provides free and paid services to promote bands online, already had about 100,000 bands on its site before reviving the MP3.com archive, and is bulking up its roster just as CNET plans to start a rival music-download site.
To CNET, the news that the music could be revived at all came as a surprise.
