So I keep hearing about Spotify, but as an American I've never had a chance to use it. I use Grooveshark a lot though. What is Spotify offering over Grooveshark?

The catalog of mainstream music is larger, it's fully legal (plenty of Grooveshark's content is only provided under shaky DMCA compliance), and supposedly its very easy to use. But that's the point...it's not that different from a whole slew of services that already exist here and don't have anywhere near the kind of traction they're forecasting.

Use it on your mobile phone, offline sync so you can listen to any track at any time even if you're offline. Search for an album, offline sync, you've got the album. Also wirelessly syncs your existing library.

The biggest difference is that Spotify is curated content. On Grooveshark, if you search for an album, you may get three copies, each missing songs and improperly named. Spotify has one real release of the album.

  In a lot of cases, three albums on Grooveshark beats the hell out of none on Spotify.

    Spotify is fully legal, Grooveshark is quasi legal and may not see another year.

      What investment will you lose if they shut down?
