    I used the fuck out of Grooveshark. It was a great platform.

    I also used the old version of 8tracks.com when it was awesome, but it died a long time ago and has been replaced with a corpse of its former self

    I was heartbroken when Grooveshark went away. I’d built up so much music and there was a lot of obscure stuff I’ve never found again.

    It was a pretty cool music platform. I was sorry to see it go but given the circumstances there wasn’t much choice. It’s a pity, it could have probably transitioned into a legit music service. The interface was nice and it had some unique features.

    From what I remember the thing that sunk it (when it was inevitably sued) was the fact the boss had made all the employees share mp3’s to help the platform take off.
