If there can be meta search engine/aggregator for travel sites, why not for the musical ones?
Phulki, a recently launched portal aggregates content from Indian musical sites like smashits, 
dhingana, bollyfm etc.
What’s cool about Phulki?
Phulki banks on the biggest usage barrier of Indian musical sites – i.e. usability.
Most of these sites have a web 1.0 feel (except dhingana) and the inbuilt navigation makes it really difficult to wade through songs (entire usability sucks – why does everything opens in a popup?)
Phulki’s user experience, though highly inspired by Google is a real eye-candy and the strong search engine (one can search using song lyrics, album name, i.e. album: Masoom etc) makes it very easy to find songs.
Playlist creation and already seeded content (check out ‘kuchh bhi’ playlist) makes it very sticky; and on an average, I’d expect any visitor to generate atlesat 4-5 PVs per session (i.e. more exploration/discovery) and stay in the site for a minimum of 30 minutes!
Do give Phulki a spin and share your comments.
If you understand the legal part of music business, I’d like to understand the legal angle of music aggregation business (and whether Phulki is legally right in aggregating content from other sites or not).

Interesting. Very easy to find music – slightly better than Songza
Product is dam sexy.
This is what i needed and asked in this blog couple of months back.
Its similar to seeqpod, songza,etc.
But i think its little bit hard to make money.
I think they surely will come up with Biz model.
Very very cool. Quick and easy to use, sign up, etc.

Pretty nice player!
Apart from just searching… the site is good for playing almost any song you would like to listen to.
Good speed will do the trick for them.
One more thing… if they put their hot searches on a daily basis somewhat like Google trends… will definitely increase their PVs dramatically.
I would be looking to see more web 2.0 related apps. embedded into this one.
Nice job. Very easy to use and gets the work done. It would be nice to do a bulk download or even 5-10 songs at a time
A neat site.. but where will the money come from? Is it from the one ad on the search results page? Even the search results page looks like a form post on a .php page making it non-search-engine-friendly.
