The chinese music industry is introducing free streaming with paid downloading. "Several major music websites like QQ Music (owned by Tencent), Baidu Music (Baidu), and Xiami (Alibaba) will start to charge for music." They feel that music streaming should be free along with advertisements but that consumers need to pay to download the somgs, of course. "The price range for these services will probably range from 1 yuan ($0.16) for one song to 15-20 yuan ($2.39-3.20) per month for unlimited downloads." The artists need to be paid, the prices for the somgs are reasonable, adding unlimited downloading for that price will also persuade people to take the deal so they can download all the music they desire.

"With over 500 labels releasing music in over 20 languages, India does offer a vast potential."
