*UPDATE* Bought a song on mymusicstore on 1st Feb 2012. It was easy peasy and a-OK.
mymusicstore.com.ph went live a couple of days ago. it's still in "beta." i have not tried it yet. their database of local and international artists looks good, lots of choices. again - i have not tried it yet - just want to make that clear. i think i'll wait for a FAQ page, more info; a lot of questions need clearing up {i don't see these mentioned in their "terms" as of today}:
i have high hopes for mymusicstore{dotcomdotph}. sana they're "it" for a legit music download store sa philippines na stable, secure with ok prices that's easy to use; OR ELSE they'll suffer the same fate as the terrible and now-dead {thank goodness} fliptunes{dotnet} from a few years ago - that i wrote an about in early 2009 and early 2010.
longer preview
sana they'll make their previews longer. each song i previewed kanina, it felt like it stopped 5 seconds in. you can't really make a decision whether you like a song and want to buy it if the preview's that short. they don't mean for us to have to leave their page and go to another website just to check a song out, no? we're already there, mymusicstore {dotcomdotph}, don't give us a reason to leave and have to switch tabs/windows.
sana positive
if and when i use mymusicstore {dotcomdotph} and write about it, sana it will be a positive post. so far, their design looks nice which is a step in the right direction. like i said, i have high hopes. please, please, please lang... don't be another fliptunes!

- are these mp3 files? {nakasulat sa terms kanina, "most" are drm-free, sana specify nila}
- how big is a file; bitrate?
- how many times can i download my purchase? {what if the connection drops while downloading, diba? it will be disappointing to have to buy again if something goes wrong.}
- payment methods? {press releases mention paypal, CC and smart money - they should make this clear on their official page, no? kasi when i checked kanina, di agad kita. actually, parang wala ata akong nakita.}
