1. Monday, June 17, 2013: Flyte MP3 store will close down. You will no longer be able to purchase MP3 files from Flyte after this date.
The remaining credits in your Flyte wallet, if any, will be converted to Flipkart store credit. You can use this to make purchases from Flipkart.com

2. Sunday, August 18, 2013: The digital library will close down. You will no longer be able to download your purchased MP3 files from your digital library after this date. So please download all your music before that.

All digital music available on Flipkart is encoded in DRM-free MP3 format.

By default the downloaded music is encoded at 128kbps bitrate. However, you could choose to download songs at 320kbps or 64kbps at the time of download from the library.

Please note that if a song is not available at 320kbps bitrate, you will not be able to choose that option.

Digital Rights Management or "DRM" commonly refers to software that is designed to control or limit how a file can be played, copied, downloaded, shared or accessed.

DRM-free means that the MP3 files you purchase from Flipkart do not contain any software that will restrict their usage in any way.

The MP3s available for download on Flipkart have ID3 tags with meta information about the tracks that list out information such as artist name, album name or genre. This helps in organizing your music collection.

MP3 files available on Flipkart use ID3 version 2.4 to embed information. This is compatible with iTunes. Few players like Windows Media Player and Winamp support v2.3 and don't read some information from v2.4

Please check www.id3.org/Compliance_Issues for compliance issues related to ID3.

Music MP3s available for download on Flipkart are encoded at 320kbps - which is on par with CD/DVD quality music. And what’s more, MP3s for sale on Flipkart are legally sourced from music labels.

Yes, all the music available for purchase on the Flipkart Flyte Digital Music Store is under copyright. When you make a purchase from the store you are accepting the ‘Flipkart Music Downloads Terms of Use’ and are bound by them.

That depends on the quality of the song (kbps) and the song length (in minutes)

We have some indicative sizes for you:

5 min song at 320 kbps ~ 12 MB

5 min song at 128 kbps ~ 5 MB

5 min song at 64 kbps   ~ 3 MB

Yes, you would need to login with your Flipkart user ID and password to purchase and download digital music from the site.

“Download Manager” is a desktop application that enables faster and easier downloads. The Download Manager allows you to pause and resume file downloads later. While downloading multiple songs, especially from an Album, the download manager saves a lot of clicks.

This could possibly be the result of connectivity issues. But there is no reason to worry. All the music that you’ve ever purchased on Flipkart can be found in your “My MP3 Library” section.

You can find the album there and download some/all of the songs again. Only successfully completed downloads are counted as 'downloads'.

The imported songs can be found in the ‘On Device’ section of the app. Check the respective tab.

The purchased songs are added to your Flyte library and hence accessible through the ‘On Flyte’ section in the Flyte MP3 app.
