Taylor’s Team Pick: Grooveshark Music Streaming

You've probably known about Grooveshark for like 12 years, but JUST IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T, check it out. It's a somehow vaguely legal site where you can stream most any music you'd like and even queue songs up in a playlist of your choosing. No skipping limits, no ads, nothin. Grooveshark is the best way to hear the song stuck in your head real quick-like. The interface leaves a bit to be desired, but it's quick and dirty streaming with a seemingly limitless catalogue.

    TAYLOR! I love grooveshark! You can even get a little mini-player thing if you want to post a song on your blog or something!

    Yes, yes, yes. So much better than playlist.com, which is what I used before.

    Grooveshark may be free, but it illegally streams music (which is why it was sued by EMI and is currently being sued by UMG).

    Psonar is another site worth checking out though – and it’s entirely legal.

    It’s a free cloud-based solution which is focused on allowing users to do more with music that they own, unlike streaming services where you effectively ‘rent’ the music as long as you continue to subscribe (and hope that the music doesn’t get pulled by the copyright owner.)

    With Psonar you can upload the music you own to the cloud, so it’s accessible everywhere, from any internet-connected device.

    You can also search and listen to 30 second clips of any other track uploaded to the cloud and buy that music if you like.

    Psonar also provides web-based iTunes-style management so that you can drag and drop tracks to any device that you can connect to a PC via USB. This enables you can have your music on your device when that’s best, but also in the cloud. This means it is great for backup:

    So – it’s perfect if you love your old MP3 player, want to keep your music on an inexpensive memory stick or for when you don’t have an internet connection and thus offers you the best of both worlds.

    Finally, by utilising the cloud, Psonar can do what the cloud is great for – discovery and social.

      This is such an obvious advertisement I almost think you should pay Autostraddle for keeping it up.
