Grooveshark has a gigantic library of music and instant streaming. Recommendation engine works well, and you can explore the playlists of other users to discover new music. I'm not sure how Grooveshark can stream music to everybody for free (or almost free for pro users), but as long as it exists I'll be a happy user.
- michael_dorfman 17y agoI wasn't familiar with Grooveshark, and I'm having trouble figuring out their licensing arrangement. For example, they have quite a few tunes by Pink Floyd, who have instructed EMI to keep their music off of iTunes, Spotify, and all other sites which would allow "per-song" downloading or streaming-- they want to keep the integrity of the albums intact. This, coupled with the bits of the Grooveshark FAQ like "All of the music on Grooveshark is uploaded by the users!" makes me think that Grooveshark is not long for this world, once the RIAA discovers them.

- parbo 17y agoOnce you've tried Spotify, you won't call Grooveshark instant any more. I swear, it starts streaming faster than Rhythmbox starts playing a local file..
