San Francisco -- Garageband.com, a site that allows bands to post their MP3s and create their own Web pages, announced on Wednesday that it has reached an agreement with Trusonic, which currently holds the mass library of digital songs once housed at MP3.com, to allow those artists to create their own pages easily on Garageband's network. Trusonic, which also distributes background music for businesses, will offer its 250,000 artists the ability to create a new home for their 1.7 million songs with a few clicks, on a site free to the public. The first three songs will be free to post, with the company charging bands $6.99 per track thereafter or $99 for unlimited uploads. "Thanks to Trusonic's ingenuity and cooperation, it's a bright day for independent music around the world," said GarageBand CEO Ali Partovi. "Now musicians can have the best of both worlds: free exposure to consumers and royalties from business users."
