T-series filed a case against Guruji in Delhi Court for streaming their content. They also threatened Phulki guys Gupta Bandhus who then were contacted by T-series Revenue sharing Partner – Smashits.com – CEO Abesh Verma …you see raaga.com and smashits.com were both started as illegal portals …then were threatened by T-series …and now has revenue sharing arrangements….and these illegal portals now have acquired legal streaming license from PPL for the rest of the record labels such as saregama, tips, venus…etc. Ok then what happened is that Abesh Verma of Smashits approached american VC showing Phulki and traffic of smashits.com to launch saavn.com ….Smashits, Raaga and Saavn for a shared server for streaming the songs….and they pay licensing share to T-series or Bollywoodhungama ….Bhushan Kumar and Neeraj Roy are very chaalu people ….and are illegally making rules shortcircuting PPL bodies….PPL folks are also corrupt to get a share from Raaga.com and Smashits.com….Someone should contact a news channels to bring out the sheer reality …Raaga.com 3 Million users per month, Smashits 2 Million users /month are earning circa 20 lakh ruppess per month from advertising and this is also black money for T-series…..Anna Hazare ….do something against these cheaters

@Sam
Each to his own.
I liked the site and the service.
Well, as a user, I don’t care where the song comes from. Phulki lets me search and listen to my favourite songs, and that’s good enough for me. No, its NOT like Google hosting the entire WWW. WRONG example.

@Rohit
Thanks. I’m glad you liked it.

@Sushrut
I guess they need to invest more in infrastructure. As you can see, you have already made your voice heard to Phulki through WATBlog..let’s hope they work on it.

@Anurag
It is always a pleasure to see the founders have their comments on our posts. I already like Phulki, as is obvious from the post, there are a few issues and some of our readers have expressed them here. I hope you will work
to rectify the issues. Please keep coming back for more.

@Sushrut

It is hard to get this kind of data just by watching our logs . Thanks for the feedback and tip. We are looking into how to improve buffering on our player.

Meanhile, you might across a few “lower” quality songs. They will load faster. See if that helps! Red indicates a lower quality song (typically smaller size file).

Also, please feel free provide us with feedback from the site as well.

Thanks
Anurag

The quality isnt good and going down day by day as I think number of users is increasing. On my home 256Kbps broadband connection (nothing else getting downloaded in parallel) song were interrupted a lot. So if they dont solve buffering related issues then wont catch up with user base. Though interface is definitely good.

Nice review! I came across Phulki a couple of weeks ago and liked it a lot. Indeed, this site is easy to use and grows on you…

Some thoughts on Phulki.com and this review –

On Phulki.com –

1. Well, Phulki.com is a site that hosts MP3 content under the guise of being a “search engine”.

2. They have crawled and parsed the meta data from the music sites but when you play a song, it is streamed from phulki.com (MP3 files). This can be easily proved.

3. The search is better than most sites hosting MP3 content, and that’s were it delivers.

4. How do the sites benefit who are hosting this content? Phulki takes their meta data and plays it on its own site!!

It is like Google indexing the world wide web and displaying all the content of the web on Google itself rather than taking people to the respective sites. IMAGINE!!

To top it all, they are asking people to comply with their robots.txt file!!

On this review –

When WATBlog reviews a product/start-up, readers like me expect to see some depth in the review.

This post looks more like a reaction from a naive user..the typos can be excused..but we need more substance..

Hope things get better..
