Grooveshark is super easy to use and has a huge variety of good quality streaming music. It's better than other streaming sites and the best part, it's free! Every so often I've found they don't have the song I'm looking for, but I would say 90% of the time my expectations are met.

Grooveshark has been my go-to service for music for years and I always considered it worthy of five stars, however the soundtrack to ads on Grooveshark have begun to come on automatically. When I manually mute the sound on the advertisements, the audio simply comes back on in 15-30 seconds. The ad soundtrack is on low when music is playing but you can still hear it in the background. If they want to kill the free music service and convert to a paid subscription only model, this ought to do it.

This website is a savior from boredom! Playing my favorite songs where ver I am or whatever I am doing. Saving playlists, recommendations as per my recently played tracks, good sound quality and promptly updated with new songs! Would have given them 5 stars if they would just improve their search engine a bit, its a bit confusing - not showing results even if a single letter is misspelled.

I love rap music which I always did. Thanks grooveshark for offering so many rap songs (new and old ones). Shame that at this time mainstream pop is the dominator in music industry. Anyway, thanks for this great resource

A coworker told me about this site and I was real happy to be able to listen to entire albums for free. I put this on at work and listen my entire work day. Sometimes I can't find the album or song I'm looking for, but you just can't be free so I won't complain.

I love grooveshark and am always surprised when people have not yet heard of it/joined. I lost the majority of my itunes about a year ago (5,000 songs MIA - not cool apple), but grooveshark has saved me from music misery!

Grooveshark is the sweet sweet light at the end of my work day tunnel, it serves me up the tunes that bring me peace and joy amide the turmoil of the office.

And then it comes, like right hook, a new song graciously plucked out of the depths of anonymity, perfectly tailored to my tastes, my favorite song that sings to me, which I was ignorantly oblivious to.

Yes, grooveshark has turned me into a true music aficionado, when before I was a mere pretender. Thank you grooveshark, and keep your teeth strong.

3 or 4 years ago, I was using Imeem, but grooveshark beats everything about it. I love grooveshark. You can easily search for songs and artists. It's like listening to the radio playing just your favorite songs.

Except for the initial loading of the page, everything becomes faster after. This includes buffering of the music track. Really nice site, you can check out the songs first before buying the actual album or single. I love it!

This site is by far better than pandora! The music selection is the same between the two, but the ability to choose songs at will, have no breaks in music for ads, and a faster search are some of the many reasons why this is my favorite music listening site!

Anything I want to listen is instantly at my fingertips. This is better than Pandora... it has every song I can think of and I can choose the order in which I listen to it. Not sure why the RIAA hasn't cracked down on this site yet, but I'm going to take advantage of this for as long as I can.

I have my account for years, and they never disappointed me. Any song I wanted, they found. I still have my reproduction lists and love the news that they have now support to mobile.

As a music lover, the thing that bugs me the most is that to have an extensive music selection you basically have to overload your computer with 100s of MBs worth of files. Yes, I could get an external hard drive and use this for storage space but I prefer to have my music easily accessible. Along comes Grooveshark, honestly one of the best music sites to come along in the past decade (yes, I am that old!). Broad selection of songs of all types and genres that can be saved in your favorites list, without taking up any precious disk space! Sad to admit it, but now I discovered it, I couldn't live without Grooveshark. It gets a 10+ from me!

Listen to music anywhere you have a laptop and some internet connection. It's actually a great idea; avoids you some headaches with mp3s downloading, have your HD with you all the time or the need of keeping tones of Teras of music. It will safe more than one party... but it's not perfect, unless you're a mainstreamer, you will miss some hits and "must haves" sometime.

Not sure how this site can get all of this music for free but it is really amazing and using my recording software on my laptop I seem to be able to get almost any song I want.
