The agent successfully navigates to 'https://www.songfile.com/' and dismisses the cookie banner. The agent correctly states that Songfile helps license cover songs for physical and digital formats such as CDs, downloads, ringtones, and streams. The agent successfully navigates to the 'How It Works' page. The agent identifies and lists the six key steps of the licensing process as: '1. Create an Account', '2. Add a Release', '3. Search for Songs', '4. Make Your Selections', '5. Purchase Song Licenses', and '6. Get Final Approval'. The agent correctly infers and states that 'Add a Release' would likely require information about the project or recording for which the license is needed (e.g., release title, artist name, format, number of units/streams).
