Good News for Musicians
Although not the first of its kind, GP Music has the potential to be the best online music store in Bangladesh with a few tweaks here and there. While there is free downloadable content, most music comes with a tiny price tag. This means musicians will be getting paid for their work – which actually is a huge deal in Bangladesh.
User Feedback
According users, the app is good but could have been better in many aspects. Though there have been complaints about the occasioanal lack of album art, the foremost fault according to some avid music-buffs is low quality of sound when streaming.
