"Ive just downloaded band in a box see if it works."

Smart move - once you have it working properly, it's the only "backing tracks" thing you'll ever need because you can programme your own backings into it. There are a few sites on the net with Band-in-a-Box files you can download too. I've had it in my computer for a year or so, it's the single most useful thing I've got (and I've got a LOT of music software in this thing!)

the Groove Builder (http://wholenote.com/builder/groove1.asp?) over at wholenote is another neat little tool.
