The loops are fine and you can play along, however they are copyright tracks, which means you can't use them in any commercial endeavors of your own creation. This is never disclosed until you read the fine print on the box -- a far different deal than the regular garageband loops.

The loops in this series are not midi - you cannot edit them, change instrument sounds etc. That makes it almost impossible to reuse the loops in a different song.

Other than that - they're usable to sing/play karaoke to the songs included.
