This is an idea that's been bugging me for a while.
Something like a multi-track SoundCloud, where uploading a song requires uploading each channel (drums, bass, lead etc) as a separate bounced track. Hitting play for a particular song plays back all the channels in sync as intended by the original artist, or the song can be 'forked' by other users, who can tweak or replace individual channels.
A high-school kid swapping Jimi's solo in 'All Along The Watchtower' for his own, or an electronic artist forking a classical pianist and adding breakbeats... karaoke for musicians.
You'd be able to track songs 'forked' from your own ala github, and forks-of-forks would quickly diverge into something quite unique.
No idea how you'd monetize it (pay-to-fork?), attract users (would the the separate-channel thing be a pretty large barrier to entry for the average musician?), more than likely a legal minefield, and probably not particularly useful to Pud, but I'd love to see it happen :)
