Cool goose now turns into cool toad ! This is primarily a website for downloading music and that too desi. Of course tracks of other languages are available but if ur searching for them, I suggest u look elsewhere.
The site layout is simple, no frills, it gets the job done. Once u login, u are taken to a page where u will have to click the music link to access the music database. Categorization here is done well, with links such as Blues, Pop and rock, Country and such. Like I said before, if u are here looking for foreign tracks, ALL THE BEST !!!!!!!!
One good thing is that users get to upload songs, or is it a good thing? 2 out of 5 songs that I download are of bad quality. It seems that the user has recorded the song from his cassette player, using a mike connected to his pc, pathetic ! If u cant upload a song of good quality I suggest u dont. Cooltoad.com doesnt make it compulsory for a user to upload a song, so why do it in the first place and that too when u dont have a track of atleast ’’listenable’’ quality ? The user here is to blame not cooltoad, or are they? Dont they check on the quality of the tracks being uploaded by the users, and then remove them?
Yes cooltoad offers u a 100mb mail account, but tell me, wud u really like to use it. The mail accounts page is simple, yes but poorly designed. If they cant maintain it properly, why provide it in the first place ?
Overall, a bad website with even worse management. Only Indian songs are available mostly, but while the main page states otherwise, u are lucky if you find an english track, and that too of good quality !!!!!! As far as the 100mb mail account, cmon guys, dont ur email providers give u more than that. The only thing that wud appeal to a first timer is the simnple site layout but bear in mind that first time will be a last timer to that website as well.
