Grooveshark Blows Pandora Away


Grooveshark is the shiznit. Seriously. I just found it, so for those of you who are way ahead of me, sorry for the repetitive nature of this post.

Well, on to the review. This online music streaming service works in a similar way to Pandora. The big, and decisive difference is that it's just like you had the biggest cd collection in the freakin' world, which means that you get to pick and choose which songs play and which ones don't. You search for artists and individual songs, pick 'em, add 'em to a playlist and save it. Just like that. You just have to put up with a huge ad on the side, which isn't too obtrusive at all.

I also liked a few more things that Grooveshark did. Formost among them is to add a "similar artist" search. That way it allows you to branch out without having to wade through a bunch of crap like Pandora makes you do. You also have at a mouse-click the ability to see what others are listening to and to see what is popular that day.

I know that this was kind of a short review, but I gotta play around with this stuff some more. You can check out Grooveshark for yourselves here.
