For my second entry into the website of the week (wotw), I wanted to rant on how much I love Grooveshark. If you don’t know what it is yet then you need help. Grooveshark is another online music system that allows you to listen to music. Like other music websites like Pandora, and Jango you can set up radio stations that will randomly play songs similar to the artist of your choice. But unlike those other sites Grooveshark allows you to create your own playlists, listen to any song at any time, replay songs, and there aren’t those annoying ads between every song. The only ad is on the right and that’s for the free version. You can pay $3 and the ads will go away, but its really not all that bad with the single add on the right. They also have some really cool features like the RSS feed of songs you are listening too and they have a really cool Grooveshark WordPress Plugin. For me who sits in front a computer more than 8 hours a day, a really well made music site that allows you to listen to the music you want is vital to get those creative juices going. The most amazing thing of all is that the whole site is made in Flash and has really great features like the use of the back and forward button (you know how often Flash sites suck as this). Check it out, I highly recommend it, and maybe down the road I will create a cool Flash RSS Grooveshark Reader or something.
