So far, not bad. Not a fan of the look of it though.

Will be curious to hear more.  Just read a pretty good article on it on Monday but haven't checked it out yet.

Using the ad version right now. Pretty bueno for just looking up songs that I want to listen too, but it isn't that easy to discover new music.

For that I have turntable.fm  :kstategrad:

Agreed, they need to fire their UI designer.

There's also Zune Pass, which unfortunately isn't cross platform.

I love grooveshark, but you have to duct tape the crap out of it to have a standalone player and a mobile player.

I guess.  The Grooveshark mobile app is pretty expensive (something like $9 IIRC), but tinyshark is a decent emulator for mobile.

Have you used Grooveshark before? Spotify is basically more legal, better organized, with less availability. Lots of give and take, but nothing really revolutionary. I doubt I'll pay for one of the options, honestly.

who gives a crap if it's revolutionary or not? A more legal, faster, better organized, less buggy version of grooveshark is amazing. You're such a dumbass.
