[BLOG] Grooveshark rocking my morning
Having forgotten my jump drive at home with the albums I wanted to listen to today, I was in an audio funk. Snarkasm recommended Grooveshark to fill the void. I have no idea if this service is legit or where they're streaming this music from, but it strikes me as nothing but upside for everyone. I get to listen to the music I want to, and I find new stuff along the way.
For instance, I wanted to listen to Rusted Roots' Remember. Instead, I stumbled into their album When I Woke. I instantly said "wow! I forgot about this album!" and it's immediately at the top of my iTunes to-buy list. I get to rock out to full albums, Grooveshark gets traffic to display its ads, and Rusted Root and their label, Polygram, just banked a sale.
As an aside, Grooveshark also features a pretty darn slick UI that requires zero thinking to use. I went from homepage to grooving in about 30 seconds. The stream is quality too; working in a place where iTunes radio frequently buffers, I appreciate that so far I've had no issues with the consistency of the signal.
Awesomesauce all around.
Update: Thrax points out his November news post on Grooveshark. Sometimes it takes necessity for you to listen.
