| Aspect | Review / Feedback | |--------|-------------------| | | Poor. You rarely find all 64 volumes. Most collections feature 10–20 volumes, often missing later or rare volumes. | | Scan Quality | Highly variable. Some are clean scans of old editions; many are blurry, skewed, or have faded notation (swaralipi is hard to read). | | Notation Accuracy | Risky. Pirated copies often combine different editions. Musical notation errors can be present due to poor reproduction or missing symbols. | | Organization | Frustrating. No consistent indexing. Finding a specific song across volumes in separate PDFs is tedious. | | Legality & Ethics | Illegal.
