Free account with grooveshark (spotify alternative, no adverts)

Options
thanks to fawcett at hud

just like spotify but with no audio adverts

you can listen to albums free and also create and save a playlist that you may want to create.

(free account can create and save playlist online)


playlists will not work on a phone unless you have vip account

iphone and itouch must be jail-broken to work with the VIP service.

This free version definitely has no adverts contrary to what others are saying below...

It's a great idea for those who use free Spotify accounts and get bombarded by ads.

    Thanks for the info -sneaked a quick look at work, but i will check it out properly when i get home.
    Have had a look for Led Zepplin and they have have some Zepplin stuff (Spotify dont) - so tonight i will see if they have any other music that Spotify doesn't. Looks like they have more INXS than Spotify but less Johnny Cash.
    I have a Premium account with Spotify so i dont have to listen to adverts, but if i can get something similar for free am happy.
    Think i prefer the layout on Spotify - as you get albulm covers etc - but i need to see what this new one has to offer.

    Many thanks to the original poster.
  • Quite impressed with Grooveshark , still prefer the general layout of Spotify , it looks nicer however i'm defintely going to give this grooveshark i try , because ads do annoy me.
  • The sound quality in grooveshark is poorer than spotify

    How do they make any money then, if there's no subscription and no ads?
