Quickly preview GarageBand '08 songs Apps
I usually record a lot of song projects in GarageBand, and as I review them later, it usually takes a long time to load GarageBand, the project, effects, etc., as there's no option to review them directly from Finder. A solution I have found for this is enabling the "Render audio preview when saving" in Garage Band's Preferences » General. The preview saved here is only for iLife apps, so one could launch iMovie and preview them from that app.

However, if you don't want to launch another app just to preview the songs, you can Ctrl-Click on the song file, select Show package contents from the pop-up menu, and then navitate into the Output folder and select the file Output.aif. From there, you can do a Get Info on the file (or just look at it in column view mode) and preview a song mixdown right from Finder.

It's important to note that it'll take a bit longer to save your songs, and they'll take more space than before, but I have found it to be a great option when reviewing songs on the run.
