Hi Mike. Did Gemini cite sources for its review? That would be like a Better Business Bureau for websites, and I'm not aware of such a thing. Just curious.

Your website link is not active.

The Gemini review(?) sounds like AI gibberish. I went to the link, so you don't have to.

This YouTube channel has 1.9K videos. They all appear to be BiaB videos of jazz backing tracks. So you see a band and a scrolling video of the chord view changes, but there is NO melody. This channel has been around for nine years. The videos had not been updated for five years until two weeks ago, when "All of Me" was added.

If you have one of the Real Book BiaB collections, or if you like entering your own changes from a (real) Real Book, you likely don't have a need for this.

Matt, my post has been corrected to read "there is NO melody". My bad.
