I doubt it will be anywhere close to the quality that bandcamp currently offers. Given that this is Kim Schmitz we're talking about, I guess this will taste more like Grooveshark, operating in a very gray area, instead of a really caring about artists and listeners. But we'll see.
Besides I couldn't be more satisfied with bandcamp - this is a great place for artists and music enthusiasts alike. Everything from the flexible pricing options to the wide range of available formats and details like the lightweight and flawless HTML5 audio player and overall site design are very much appreciated. And perhaps most importantly there's actual talent to be found on bandcamp - it's hard for a competitor to build a similar community.
I may be wrong and this is very subjective and speculative but as far as I can imagine the average megaupload user I would expect to see a lot of low quality "DJ Überbazz"-kind of artists on Megabox instead of the ecclectic selection you would find on bandcamp. On the listener side - and again, if the Megaupload user base is anything to go by - I would imagine people that aren't that much into obscure indie artists and rather expect to find popular artists from major labels. For obvious reasons I guess that won't happen though - unless, of course, Megabox aims for Grooveshark's approach to featuring the repertoire of major labels.
Again, the last paragraph is pure speculation and just reflects what I expect from a music service by Kim Schmitz.
