I searched last night for Swing 42, instead of BIAB which I've been using lately. Actually what made me look elsewhere is the BIAB created bass line for this track was driving me nuts. Kept staring on major 7th interval then doing this descending line that just sounded bad. Usually they do a good job.
Anyway... I was nicely surprised with how much better it was to see everything listed in one place with only exactly what you were looking for, without extra junk that youtube usually serves when doing a search. Really nice.
I noticed too that people sometimes upload BIAB or even iReal pro backing tracks. I just move on if I don't like it. I don't think I'd be taking time to filter stuff like this from the site. Maybe if possible and easy you can just set up thumbs up/down so that people can filter that way. In this case I don't think you'd be getting a lot of trolls hitting thumbs down "just because". Don't see too many of those visiting a site dedicated to GJ backing tracks so it would probably reflect accurate ratings for the most part.

You did a big service to the community. Thanks!
Thumbs up and down is a great idea, thanks for the suggestion! I will add it to the backlog.
might be cool to have a song add request thread.
These are some of the best backing tracks I've found, not sure I see them on your site
