Cya last.fm, sup Grooveshark
Dear last.fm, guess what happened! I cancelled my subscription and decided to give my $3 to Grooveshark instead. It looks to me now there is way too much underground music on your playlists and way too less diversity. Why would I want to listen to the same track few times during the day and do it again and again and again? That’s right, I would not.
btw, Grooveshark, how should I take it Bulgaria not being on your country list?!
Update: Grooveshark has its problems, though. And some of them are quite fundamental. Radio is utter shit. Especially categories as they are. Which leads to the second problem – tagging sucks big time. I found a playlist called “chillout”, that was full of Björk. Who in the hell would consider Björk even close to chillout?! It’s music for suiciders, ffs! And that leads us to another problem. You rely entirely on other people’s definitions about music “genres”. And that’s really frustrating as it’s not as unobtrusive, as in last.fm. I’m used to put an artist name or a tag and have hours of similar music (more or less). Not the case with Grooveshark. You need to wonder on your own through user playlists and find one that best suits your mood. But you might end up wasting significant amount of time on that and in the end it’s pretty possible, that you don’t feel like listening anymore. Similar artist interface is absolutely annoying. Still trying to figure out what this “+” button does and where does it “add” the artist. The only effect is interface gets stuck. Not to mention the “wtf” look on my face when it took 5 minutes for download dialog to finally pop.
