Some notes regarding songs, as of February 7th, 2011:
There are several versions of some spells, which as confirmed by Duende is intentional. Through experimentation, we could not determine any difference between a song played at a lower strength compared to the same song played at a higher strength. The only song notes that seemed to have changed were tremor, shield and lightning bolt. We are 95% positive that both reveal and lightning bolt were removed from the song list, unless they are hiding as a single strength that we missed. We tested extensively throughout the ranges, but there is a small chance that they may be hiding somewhere we overlooked. I have cross-checked our list against Northstar's, and manually played each song at each strength level. There were several incorrect and/or outdated songs listed on their website. The lists above are accurate as of February 7th.
Bard has recently acquired a few new songs:
