Tbh, I don’t understand the hype. Access any music for free? I’m not a big music listener, so I may not appreciate this as much as other people may. I mostly listen to the popular songs everyone else is listening too. Thus, why I prefer Grooveshark, which is a) browser based, so I don’t have to have another app open on my desktop b) I also create playlists of my favorite songs as I do in Spotify c) no ads that interrupt me as I listen to my music.

So, essentially, Spotify is like Pandora with the radio ads, and is like Grooveshark in that I must create playlists to listen to any song on my computer.

You’re not winning me over, Spotify.

What’s even more ludicrous is how they are projecting 50 million US users within the first year (http://www.businessinsider.com/spotify-is-on-crack-if-they-really-think-theyll-get-50-million-us-users-in-a-year-2011-7).
