Popular K-Pop digital download service and Korea’s largest P2P system Soribada has officially launched in English.

The website has been receiving requests from international fans for a long time now, who were unable to use the service due to the language barrier and sign-up process, but now English-speaking fans from around the world will be able to legally support their favorite artists and check out how they’re faring on the various Soribada charts (just like on iTunes).

K-Pop has been available internationally on iTunes for a while now — which is how Taeyang reached #1 and #2 on Canadian and US iTunes last year — but Soribada has a wider variety of artists and downloads will count towards the official Korean charts.

All the files are DRM-free MP3 files so they don’t have any weird issues like Apple’s M4As, some songs will be as cheap as 0.08 USD per track, and Soribada are offering 10 free downloads for new members.

Eh, I don't like that you have to purchase a "plan" rather than just buying tracks individually.

Can you pay through Paypall?

From: [identity profile] jcdhwg.livejournal.com
I did some research and I seems like you can pay through paypal. But it works with these download plans.. that reset every month. So you're kinda obligated to spend all your money in one month?

Thanks for that. No way I'm wasting my money on low quality. That's what I consider 192. And I don't want to be demanded to buy an x amount of songs each month.

Does the 'plan' automatically charge you every month? : / I don't think I can find 40 K-pop tracks I'd want in a month . . .

I've been a member for ages but this new english site makes it so much easier. Thank you Soribada, most sincerely.

=_= I signed up for it and I thought it would be better for me, but nah....
I tried to look for some songs such as Yoo Youngsuk's songs (coz I've been wanting to download his 20th debut anniversary's album) but the English version of Soribada doesn't even have it (yet??) So I will just stick with the Korean version for now

If you're using the search function to look for the songs, you may want to put the hangul in. The romanisation can be a little different.
I had to use hangul to find Son Ho Young.

I'll stick to the Korean soribada for now, it's relatively easy to use...The English one doesn't have a good range of music yet.

Nothing wrong with 192kbps if all you're doing is putting it on your ipod.

I checked the video section and they just stream it from youtube and some are not even from the official channel? it's kinda fishy.

I was thinking the same thing ... I was told that P2P is a bad thing and more illegal than "borrowing" music!!!! maybe it's doing that with the music videos! but from my understanding P2P is file sharing and easily traced.
Maybe I am just paranoid!

maybe this can be tagged with "internet, music, korean wave/hallyu"
