    I'd get in on this now and be one of the first to join. It's going to be like Grooveshark but better.

    I've been saying it needs to be this way for years, but the days of free music are finally upon us.

    the ads are quite annoying. not sure it is worth paying just so you can get rid of them though

    from the same article @ http://www.thedanosphere.com/2010/03...rk-vs-pandora/


    Spotify – Generally over hyped. No web client, extremely annoying audio ads for free users. I am in the U.S. so I was only able to use the desktop client, thus I cannot comment on the mobile client. Was unable to listen to several recently released songs because the service didn’t have them available yet and there is no “upload your own” option. Subscription is very expensive relative to other services.

    ha, damn looks like I might be sticking to grooveshark. I didn't read any recent review but was just going off of what I heard for the last year or so. I read an article when they were first talking about coming here that said pretty much the opposite of what I'm reading now. Sorry guys carry on with grooveshark, but it will probably be worth it to atleast check it out.

    Grooveshark + Sirius is all I need.

    I listen to Howard Stern 98% of the time anyways but GShark is solid.
    Sirius really is amazing though, I am a huge phish fan and they had a festival over the weekend. Sirius Jam On Channel streamed every set live. Pretty sweet.

    nope you are just streaming it. It only is stealing if it makes it to your mp3 player without spending $$

    Using Pandora on Firefox + Adblock Plus = no ads, so I've never had a problem. But I'm def going to check out grooveshark.

    Wow, they have Church of Misery. This may actually be worth having downloaded. I should be less cynical.

    Quality on Spotify >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> quality on Grooveshark. Infact, sound quality on Grooveshark is absolutely HORRID!!!! I will definitely continue to pay $10/mo for my Spotify account. Added 2,000 songs today to my playlist.

    Also, Spotify has "Off-Line" listening. Which means you dont have to be connected to the internet.

    I had Spotify for about a year. I had a free version and never encountered a single add (it wasn't available in Ireland, got it through a proxy). Then I changed laptops and lost it forever :(

    But its amazing. Never used the other two so can't compare.
