I love...shark!



Record labels might be getting really angry, or might be praising the new website Grrooveshark. I've decided that I would share the new acquired knowledge before some corporate fat-cat decides to shut it down. As far as I'm concerned it’s about time the music industry realizes that the Internet has forever changed the way people share music and should start selling it as a service instead; much like cable TV. Another option is to develop something like Grooveshark.

One of my friends introduced me to Grooveshark this weekend, and I’ve been a huge fan of it ever since. This website will allow you to stream any kind of music you might want to hear. No! Its not like imeem, or lastfm, it’s a whole lot less lame. Nobody likes going to a separate web page every time you want to listen to a different song or band, so Grooveshark incorporated it all into one interface. There is no need to install any fancy software or give out you junk e-mail address. It will also allow to search for music by genre, artist, song name, you name it! Other features include customized playlists, and the use an auto play feature much like the genius feature on iTunes.

These 21-year-old programing sharks have a good idea: Allow people to listen to a whole album before deciding to purchase it. Songs can be purchased through Grooveshark, and everyone gets a piece. The artists, record label, and Grooveshark. We'll see how it goes.
