User:Sairaga/sandbox/Comparison of on-demand streaming music services in India

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of on-demand music streaming services in India. The services offer streaming of full-length content via the Internet as a part of their service,[1] without the listener necessarily purchasing a file for download.[2] This type of service is comparable to internet radio. Many of these sites have advertising and offer non-free options in the style of an online music store. For a list of online music stores that provide a means of purchasing and downloading music as files of some sort, see: Comparison of online music stores. Many of both types of sites offer services similar to an online music database.
