I don't mean to hijack this thread, but here's my side project that allows you to do some of those things. It's also in testing stages, but feel free to check it out. Here's part of a Girl talk mashup I created with it.

This is pretty cool. At some point we release an API for all of Soundkeeps creative commons samples/tracks. It would be a good combination with tools like yours.
I'm a musician and while I think the idea is great, I think the mechanics in the demo are too limiting for most remixing work. Typically if I'm working on a remix I would change the tempo, change the song structure, etc. which doesn't really work well with the 'versions of the original stems' metaphor that is used in the application.
Then again it may be interesting to see how people get around those issues to get the results they want. Often times having limitations boosts creativity rather than hinder it.
