3. jam2jam:Improvise with others online and creative grooves and music without having to have “music chops”.
4. Jam Central Station: Have a virtual band “back you”.
5. Kompoz: “Kompoz is a social workspace for musicians and songwriters. Got an idea for a song? Record a track. Upload it. Then invite others to add drums, bass, vocals or anything else!”
6. Kalabo: Compose, play, add to, and modify compositions online.
7. JamGlue: Upload a composition, mix it, share it…
8. Splice: Meet, Make, Mix, and Mash music online.

Your sessions are recorded and can be edited, stored in your JamNow tape vault, and downloaded as MP3s. Post your performances as streams on your profile page - build your audience by playing live for people all over the world! Do it yourself!”
