You guys did not have it? It's great indeed.

Babaganoosh · 07-20-2011, 06:25 AM

I can't figure out what all the hype is about. It's very similar to grooveshark but with only a fraction of the music.

Not to mention you have to download an application? They're a little behind.

Nothing beats Grooveshark.

I always have people coming up to me to brag about how they discovered this thing called Pandora. When I try to tell them about Grooveshark, they scratch their heads and go "but you can make stations".

You can make stations on Grooveshark, and make custom playlists, and listen to albums, specific singles, obscure or unknown music, comedy, soundtrack...whatever exists.

Spotify and Pandora are like the America Online of internet radio.

Same here, I can't see how anything could be better than Grooveshark, anything I want to do, it does.

Pandora is for my grandmom.

Babaganoosh · 07-20-2011, 05:12 PM

To be fair, I do use Pandora especially late at night when I don't want to fuck with playlists. I have some stations set up that I generally like everything that's on.

But between Grooveshark and Pandora I have absolutely no use for spotify.

kane · 07-20-2011, 05:39 PM

I got a Spotify invite yesterday and liked what I saw then some people on here turned me on to grooveshark. Been listening to it today and so far I like it too, maybe even better.

bronco67 · 07-20-2011, 06:39 PM

I finally got my invite info, and signed up. I guess it would be good if I had just woken up from a coma and didn't know about Grooveshark.

candyflip · 07-20-2011, 11:10 PM

I like it a lot more than Grooveshark. I have found everything I've searched for. I will give it a month or so before deciding on one over the other.

seeandsee · 07-21-2011, 01:12 AM

it's like fucking bearshare!

Nicky · 07-21-2011, 02:33 AM

I do love my spotify premium though.

Spotify was great in the UK but now they have put lots of restrictions and fees in place in order to launch it in the US....

Is it free there or subscription?

Theo · 07-21-2011, 08:12 PM

bump for an incredible service

Not for me! I canceled my 10 year old Napster account the day I started using Grooveshark. Better, faster, more music, free.

The one thing I have seen so far is that Grooveshark won't stream to non-jailbroken Apple phones.

nico-t · 07-22-2011, 03:41 AM

lol @ invites, stupid marketing ploy to make it feel 'exclusive'. And people all fall for it, from gmail to google+ to spotify.

While I'm sure a good portion of it is marketing I read an interview with the owner of Spotify and he said they got millions of requests from US users for invites. He claims that if they had let them all join at once it would have collapsed their system. If that is the truth I give him credit. Roll it out a little slowly and make sure those users are very happy instead of trying to add it all at once and crashing it so nobody is happy.
