One of the most popular music players on the Internet is Pandora. It’s a great way to discover new music. But it doesn’t do much for you when there’s that one song stuck in your head that you just have to listen to, or when you want to make your own custom playlist. Enter grooveshark.com to allow you to listen to whatever you want, whenever you want, for free.
Using grooveshark is incredibly easy. After typing in the address, you are directed to a simple page with a search bar in the middle asking you to type in whatever you want to listen to. Perhaps you want to listen to Outkast’s “Hey Ya.” Just type in Outkast and you will be directed to all of the Outkast files that have been uploaded by other users. Find, “Hey Ya,” among the other track titles or listen to the entire album. You can also click play and listen to that one song, or continue on to make a playlist. You can keep searching for other stuff while you listen and all your selections are conveniently saved onto a playlist at the bottom of the page. If you create a free account, you can save all your playlists, but if you don’t want to do that just listen as much as you want, anytime you want.
One really cool option is the popular music tab. If you click on this, a playlist automatically pops up with the most popular songs of the moment. This is great for that song you always hear on the radio but can never get enough of. This playlist includes songs like Bruno Mars’ “Grenade,” Wiz Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow,” and Diddy Dirty Money’s “Coming Home.”
If you are feeling generous, you can help the grooveshark library grow by uploading music that hasn’t been uploaded by others yet. You can also share music on social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Stumbleupon.
The Internet is all about getting what you want right now. If it’s music that you want there is no better place than grooveshark.com.
