 '''GarageBand project''' files are used by the GarageBand music software for the Macintosh platform. As with a number of Mac software files (particularly project files), they are actually directories (folders) that are treated for some purposes by the Mac OS as single files called a [[Bundle_file_(OS_X)|Bundle]]. They can also be found in [[ZIP]]-compressed versions, particularly for archival or transferring purposes.
