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.
Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

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.
