Expected,Hope Flyte Books doesnt shut down
Yeah. Don't know why they are shutting it down. Not enough Revenue?
That's sad news, at least for me. Most my recent song purchases were through it(even though they don't provide flac).
Why? Sorry for being a noob.

Most of the Indian people are not yet matured to buy apps/music legally, esp when it is available for free easily.
That's a valid point. I know of people who used to ridicule me for buying. PS : I don't want to start an anti-piracy campaign here.

Yup, exactly. "If I can get it for free, why should I pay for it?". We're a long way away from the point where Indian consumers will realize that spending Rs.50-100 for an album is not a "waste of money".

Well,Noob has given the point
But does it really cost a LOT to run this service?
Given our present internet infrastructure, even a streaming service won't last long here.
Though for people with 24*7 internet connectivity and who are willing to subscribe for the monthly schemes, its a better option than buying songs(for most people other than the those with a discerning ear).

I'm also curious about this point. Why they are shutting down...!!! What would be maintenance to keep on track ??
I was also became a victim of ridicule as I purchased songs from Flyte.... That is common Indian people mentality..

It is,
That's why i liked the idea of buying A la Carte songs @ Rs 5-10
Now people with a good conscience are stuck with Crapple iTunes
spotify has a couple of tiers of service, the full paid service lets you download and keep files locally for playback
not officially available in india, but you can use in india if you have a registered account and then you can use perfectly
dont see why infrastructure is a problem, the only difference between piracy and digital distribution is that people dont have to pay for one. if networks are good enough for piracy, they are good enough for services. play an mmo, people from all around the world have connectivity problems some time or other. don't feel for no reason that our internet infrastructure is sooo bad also.
its the mindset, and market maturity to consume digital goods only, dont blame the wires.
