I would say it is something of a cross between streaming radio sites like Pandora and your own personal files like iTunes. You can listen to entire songs without purchase (unlike iTunes) and create and save your own playlists, etc. You can even upload your own tunes. You can then easily share those with friends and see their playlists as well.
Basically, you create your own shareable tunes lists of any music you want. The catch is...the tunes are not downloaded. On the positive side of that, there are no copyright issues as with file sharing sites. The downside is you cannot load them into your mp3 player or iPod.All in all, a great way to discover and listen to new music -- and share with others!
Their stated goals: "To improve the connection between people and music. To change the music industry in ways they seem so unwilling to consider. To have fun."

Hey Margaret,
ReplyDeleteFirst off, thanks so much for taking the time to write! We're so thankful for your thoughtfulness, and as a small bunch I can tell you that it honestly means a lot to us--even us Gator fans. :)
I'm always fascinated by how people hear about new services online, and I think this may be the first I've heard of someone discovering Grooveshark via Second Life--very cool!
Right now we're actually looking to find out from all you guys exactly what we can do better. I need your help! If you have any feature ideas, suggestions, annoyances, or anything else, please pretty please let me know so we can make Grooveshark all the more improved. Check it: http://bit.ly/grooveshark
Anyway, thanks again Margaret. I really hope to hear from you, but in the meantime, keep grooving.
