Interesting. It would be prohibitively expensive though, by Indian standards. But at least NRI junta will have their fill.
It is good to know that all content owners are converging into the digital distribution platforms like iTunes etc. While companies like Saregama & Music Today have put their catalog on iTunes quite a while ago, I came across this web site – http://www.shatatantri.com — which seems to be focussed on distributing Indian music, especially classical.
yeah it's bound to be expensive. at least its a start to legitimize the digital music scenario in India. there is so much churn in the industry right now its difficult to guess what the future will hold.
