I still don't know the reason why they are not providing FLAC content.

Cause most people don't know what is lossless music and they don't care about the detail & quality.

I got 200 too. Downloading some justin beiber songs.

You kidding?

 

[mastercool8695]

if one is getting a 320 Kbps MP3 file, its almost undistinguishable from the FLAC .
What

For regular listening, it's more likely that you'll be using a lossy format. They save a ton of space, leaving you with more room for songs on your portable player, and—if they're high enough bitrate—they'll be indistinguishable from the original source.

I understand that 320kbps is indistinguishable from FLAC. But I would like to have the freedom to convert a lossless format to OGG format to put on my Clip Zip.

No 320kbps isn't same as FLAC. TO understand the difference, get a speaker like Z623, and play the track with 50% of max volume.
And again, FLACs are not for all. Most guys are pleased with 128kbps mp3.

Yea, I think you are right get speaker like Z623 you will notice the difference.

Can you guys install the Flyte MP3 app for Android? When I try it on my phone, it says that this app is not supported in your country. I have an Idea connection on my HTC One X+.

I had installed it in December without any issues on my Optimus One with Airtel connection.

I think so.

this article says you can download it multiple times, on a same machine. The limitation is only that it can be downloaded to 6 different devices only. Which is not that bad.

I downloaded it just the day before yesterday without any issue. My phone is Karbonn A15, Android ICS.


BTW I am behind a proxy server so the Flyte Download manager is not able to download the songs in my PC, And there is no option for configuring proxy in Flyte. Any solution?
Note: The proxy is already configured in Internet Option Settings.

I guess it has something to do with me trying to order the Nexus 4 from the Play Store. I tried ordering it from my office machine, which uses a US proxy and I provided a delivery address that PPOBox (package forwarding service) gave me. I cancelled my order later, however, looks like my Play account has become permanently "americanized" ever since.

Any workaround?

That's worse, that's DRM.

There is a section in google(shopping or checkout or maybe playstore) where the address of your current location is saved, you need to change it back.

AFAIK, the songs are DRM free. The limit might be on downloading using the Flyte download agent. Otherwise, I think you can copy as many times as you want.

I've checked everywhere. Even the Google support groups have no clear solution.

Not talking about copying, how does flipkart enforce the number of machines?

 

[Desmond]

They can obtain the IMEI code for phones, no idea about PCs/Macs.

Either IP or the hardware signature, which for some of us changes monthly.

 

[Desmond]

That's why I said no idea about PCs/Macs.

Perhaps they maintain a count of devices for each user.

Any source apart from the td article. Specially from flipkart's website? I dint saw DRM mentioned anywhere.
