Earlier this year, Flipkart had launched its own online music service called Flyte, which offers a large collection of songs spanning 700 genres and 55 languages. It also offers DRM (Digital Rights Management) free MP3 files and promises CD quality music with the ability to sync on multiple devices. Users can listen to a 30 second clip before proceeding with the purchase, which could cost Rs 6 or more per song. Users can also buy an entire album. The music purchases are only for users in India, currently. Majority of the songs available on the music store are available as MP3 files encoded at 320kbps bitrates, while some songs are available at lower bitrates, says Flipkart.
Flyte lets users download each purchased song for about four times and it gives users the option to either, download the music directly or use the download manager, which simplifies the process. The Flyte Download Manager is compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems, while the Linux version is in preps. It is 4.3MB download for Windows and 6.3MB for the Mac version. The download manager helps simplify the process and downloading multiple files is possible with a single click. Flyte has sections, like most featured albums, popular albums and also new albums.
