BhajisLoops is for composing loop-based tunes. What it's really good
for is long airplane flights. Much better than
MadPlayer (www.MadPlayer.com) although MadPlayer works if you do
hiphop or if you view it as a fun game. MadPlayers are cheap,
too. I got mine for fifty bucks on eBay and downloaded the latest
firmware for free. MadPlayer has serious limitations as a
compositional tool but is a lot of fun to play with. (Are you
listening loop.pool?) ;-)
