WCIF an Online Digital MP3 Store in Taiwan?

[Reaperjim]

I was wondering if Taiwan has an equivalent of Amazon's MP3 download site or iTunes. I have found some names but I can't seem to find any sites, which to me suggests that there were a few but they have closed down. I would much rather pay for my music

I asked my resident expert (teenage daughter) about online MP3 sites in Taiwan. She said she knows no one who buys mp3s online. People download, but never from a store.

Are there analog MP3 stores online?

Seconding this. My university students look at me with a mix of shock and pity when I tell them that I buy music from the iTunes store. Music is bought only in exceptional circumstances: getting something for the singer to autograph, for example.

They have thing called kkbox here. You pay a hundred NT a month and you can download (sort of) all the songs you want. Stream as much as you want. The downloads are a proprietary format so, once you stop paying, you can't access them. I think they are the only source of legal music here.

I said, what the hell? I'm getting old. Took me a minute to get it.

Yes KKbox! How could I have forgotten about this site. A friend's brother uses it quite a bit. Course, he's old (48).

I got KKBOX and really like it, although the choice is a bit limited. I can't figure out how to sync my Android library with my PC though.
