Any Decent Alternatives To Grooveshark Out There?
As some of you may know, recently, the site Grooveshark.com closed its doors on account of a bunch of BS lawsuits, which was unfortunately, because Grooveshark was an absolutely phenomenal service, which I recommended to literally all my friends.
For those of you who don't know, it basically allowed you to search for any song you want (it had nearly every single song as soon as it became available), build playlists, and it would stream songs, without any audio advertisements (just silent banner ads, and they had account upgrades as well).
If you wanted to DL songs, you could do it for money, or, you could stream them for free, and streaming audio is super fast, even on a relatively slow internet connection, which is nice.
However, on May 1st, they closed their doors, for good.
So, I went to YouTube to rebuild my playlists, and I've been using that, but I find it wanting. I still have to use videos, and they never stream as fast (though most of the songs are just album covers, or picture slideshows of the band, and my internet connection is fairly fast, so this hasn't been a major issue).
The biggest issue, I've found, is moving around songs on my playlist, and controlling what's played next.
it seems on YT playlists, the only way to move something around, is to click on that song in the playlist and click "move to top" or "move to bottom", and that edits the playlist permanently.
Sometimes, I just want to build a line-up of songs which I want to listen to right away, and that's it. Is there a way to do this in YouTube?
Or, better yet, has anyone found a better alternative to Grooveshark?
Thanks in advance,
