Grooveshark Dead
Grooveshark :(
|
This ****ing sucks.
|
Now I'm down to Spotify and thievery. I have limited drive space, and Spotify just doesn't have as good a selection.
|
Weird, I always thought that Spotify had a better selection. I guess the partial album thing kind of rubs me the wrong way.
News still blows though. |

Oh nooooo that sucks. :( I had a pretty extensive bunch of playlists on there too. :(
|
I always went to Grooveshark for full albums so that I wouldn't have to purchase them first. Plus, it linked to my last.fm which was great.
|
Time to abolish copyright laws.
|
I've never thought to use Grooveshark. Always seemed like an inferior alternative to spotify and actually downloading music.
Suck as peeps have said though. |
****ing RIAA*******s! Surely they're behind this.
Mind you, I don't tend to use Groove much; mostly Spotify and only GS if I couldn't find it on Spotify. Still, ****ers. |
Aw man. At least we finally have Spotify here, but still.
|
this is absolutely devastating.
I found so many cool jams on this site. :( |
Noooo :( I discovered so much through just flicking through their Sixties playlist.
|
I think I've used Grooveshark twice. Still, it's upsetting as I would hate for something I use a lot to go down, like Spotify. I have a ton of playlists and wishlists there.
|
Aight, state coup. Tomorrow. I'm taking a plane to D.C.
We'll legalize piracy and fund Grooveshark with the rich's tax money. |

In other words, I have no use for Grooveshark or Spotify anymore. |
Sad news indeed. I know a number of early 2000s RP sites which employed Grooveshark widgets. The pages now sport empty gray boxes.
In other news, agreements have been reached between Google and the major labels so Youtube's Music Key is moving forward. |

I have yet to try Google Play. While I am sure it is great, for some reason I have issues paying $9.99 per month after the 30 day trial. With Spotify, I just choose to get a 30 second ad about every 5 songs rather than paying the monthly fee as well. The irony though, is that I can easily spend around $10 during one visit at McDonalds (and much more when I go to happy hour somewhere), so I am unsure why I have such issues paying for music. I guess ever since I purchased my first CD burner in 1996 (2x burn speed for like $500 at the time), I have felt entitled to own as much music as I wanted for free.
Of course, "in theory", there are some private communities online to download high quality MP3s (and movies too). With Grooveshark gone, it will be interesting which websites will be next and how places like Google Play and Spotify evolve, both good and bad. |
I couldn't hack the ads in Spotify and paid up for premium. Best decision I ever made.
|
I also happily pay my google play music subscription. It's a great service that I use a lot, so I don't really mind.
|
I've never paid a cent to Spotify and I've never seen a single ad. Didn't even know they had ads. U mad?

Along with you guys who said it is worth paying, I am sure you are right. I am laughing at my thinking that I will spend money for happy hour or even McDonalds with no issues but a reasonable price like $9.99 per month for music and I feel entitled to get my music for free. Like everything Google, I am also assuming Google Play will eventually be the #1 option for music. Maybe it already is but I am pretty sure Spotify is still perceived as #1 by most. |

With Google Play Music, I listen to the music which is on there and if I wanna listen to something that's not on there, I just upload it to the service (and then I can stream it to any device). I might upload some famous artist which is not already on there or I might upload a song I recorded myself or with friends many years ago. So Spotify does some of what I want, but Google does all of it. The choice is really simple. Had all the music I wanted to listen to been on Spotify, then I probably would have used it still. |
Does Google have a better selection tore? Considering maybe going for that too...
