Just went to the website now and it seems quite tacky in my opinion (must've been a different version which I have described as 'decent' earlier!). Anyway, do let me know if you come across another store. Hey Nikhil,

I have never tried it out.

Anyway, do let me know if you come across another store.

I ended up with 64kbps songs, which sounds like crap when not playing on a PC. Their support is poor. Two songs in the album have a problem and in spite of contacting them there is no response. The final nail in the coffin is that they increased priced from 6 INR to 15 INR overnight. 15 INR per song is totally bullshit for the quality they are offering. They just don't get it. Looks like its a bunch of technologists writing a web site who don't understand one bit about what the end consumer wants. My prediction... they will close down in a year.
