Launched in January 2005, KKBOX is a blend of a conventional subscription-download model with social-networking features. It offers services for users to legitimately listen to music, including unlimited music streaming, creating their own music blogs, sharing their playlists and making new friends based on their interests. Reportedly having the world's largest collection of Chinese songs, its database offers content from over 140 music labels with 1.5 million songs.

Has anybody subscribed to this service? I subscribed to the trial offer and noted that I could actually download songs in WMA format that were assigned restricted media usage rights. Since I am not a fluent Chinese reader/speaker (trying to as I had classes in elementary and high school), can anyone tell me whether a one month subscription would entitle the subscriber to unlimited downloads? It's only about CAD 5/month and it would be well worth it if I am able to download all the present and past mandarin hits in one swoop.
Pricing information is as follows and on the upper right hand is a link that shows a comparison of the features under different subscriptions models:
