I just got a m-audio keyrig 49 keyboard, but since i have a mac, i cant use the included Keyrig software. i know i can use garageband (i tested it last night) but what program could i download for free/buy that would give me a lot more sounds and drum kits, etc? thanks.
what is a good mac software for my m-audio keyboard?

not sure
Keyrig will work on certain macs, so it is worth stopping by the m-audio website to see if there is an update available for your operating system. That software has been out for quite a while so when it was packaged, it’s likely that your OS wasn’t in existence.
Logic, Pro Tools, Cubase, Ableton Live, and Reason all offer a ton of instruments to play with, but they are not free. The nice thing is that after buying and installing one (not sure about reason, but the others are fine) you can go online and grab any number of legal, free instruments that developers put out there for the public to try out. The programs act like blank slates for these instruments and all of them come with at least a decent collection of built-in sounds.
Programs like hammerhead and audacity are free, but limiting. If you really want to test the waters, try a demo of one of the programs and see if you like it. Don’t get discouraged, as most are going to be a little tough to grasp out of the gate, but with practice and time, you won’t be limited anymore.
Cheers
