People often think a good mix should rise and fall, but people are wrong. It should be all rise, baby.

I’ve been on Spotify for 1.5 years. I didn’t get hooked right away, but around a year ago I just couldn’t get enough.

An hour ago I found Grooveshark. It’s Spotify with these changes:

• It’s in your web browser, meaning no download. Perfect for people on the go who want their digital life in the cloud
• You and (even better) others can upload to the service. If there’s a song you want on the go which isn’t available, upload it – but someone else have probably already done it..
• Don’t seem to see a point to go premium (no higher bit rate, no ads (using adblock))
• If I want to go Premium, it’s over 3 times cheaper than on Spotify. It’s only $3
• It has Requiem for a dream, which I have been forced to go to youtube to enjoy
• Oh yeah, and there’s a WordPress plugin..
• UPDATE 1: Playlists can be ordered in “playlist order” meaning you can create a “mixed tape”

The negative

• I get an error saying song can’t be played sometimes (trying again fixes it)
• No keyboard shortcuts
• iPhone app isn’t out yet
• The sound quality can be (or is always?)  better in Spotify. Example: Alice Cooper with Poison
