sharing a tip here which is probably not a big deal.

if you have google music activated on your google id... there is a simple way to access the ad-supported radio service to get an expanded variety of songs.

you do not need to run a VPN on your pc to access it. just connect to the vpn on your phone and google would automatically switch on the us version on your desktop.

i have been doing this for a few days now and it's pretty cool. at least till Spotify or google music arrive in india.
 
Spotify also works well in india. you just need to install and sign in using US id. After that, you can use it normally without any VPN. bollywood content is low though, as you would expect
