Music 20 Cents a Track in India

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the cheap-tunes dept.

xzap writes "Indiatimes.com , an Indian portal is now offering "International Chart-Busting" music for download legally at Rs 10 (20 cents U.S) a song. They say they (through a partner) have tied up with music labels like BMG, EMI, Warner, Tips, Times Music, Lahari, Enrico Hindustan (which is the oldest catalogue of HMV) and Archies Music "." I still believe that if the bigs let us download MP3s for a quarter a track, we'd do it.

    This is hard to make a valid comparison to U.S. business model, since Indian music is sooo much better than U.S. music.

    What, me biased?

    Yours objectively, Rajendra.

    Every one of you dumb fucks talk as if all music came in three minute "songs". That is NOT the universal unit of music.
