Nine Inch Nails (band) has always released albums, followed by remix albums that are remixed by other famous artists. For the last two records, they have come up with a different concept. They let their fans download the the multitrack audio files in RAW format, so they can make their own remixes in Garageband, Ableton Live, or any other audio editor.
Through the remix.nin.com site, you can upload the remixes, and listen to other people's remixes, and get rated by other fans. Some remixes were hand picked by the band to be on their official remix album.
Also, they recently released an instrumental album called Ghosts, which they are encouraging fans make their own music videos for and upload to youtube for an online filmfest of sorts.
One last thing that is kinda cool. Their last album the released for completely free through their website. They have a interesting way to show how many downloads came from what parts of the world via google earth.

This is really cool.. my boyfriend is a producer/Dj.. I told him about this site and he was pretty excited. They have entire sets in Ableton (which is what he uses)
