But main thing is we dont have to buy entire album for only 1 or 2 good songs in that album. So that saves us the money.

Yup, but still, albums should be cheaper than total cost of all songs, IMO.

Anyways, its a good platform for music.

Hope they have some giveaways too.
 
30 seconds previews available for each song - ala iTunes store! Hopefully this starts a revolution of sorts in India where people will actually start buying music legally!
 
^ yes. took a stop watch and measures. its 30 seconds.

Its 30 seconds. Also mentioned in their FAQs about 30 seconds preview.

but their choice of formats is silly.

5 min song at 320 kbps ~ 12 MB

5 min song at 128 kbps ~ 5 MB

5 min song at 64 kbps ~ 3 MB

They should have chosen, 320, 256, and 196 as last option. 64 kbps is horrible audio quality. Or best of all flac. Let the listener decide what he wants with the flac, viz. encode it to other formats etc.
 
Quite surprised to see bands like Immortal, Moonsorrow, Swallow the Sun, Candlemass and other lesser known metal bands having albums available for as low as 49 Rs.
