Tried out the free version of Grooveshark today. Rather than selecting songs from “similar” artists to the on you chose as Last.fm does, Grooveshark allows you to search for exactly what you want. The you can make playlists that remain available (as long as you save them).

In addition, you can upload your own stuff from your computer to add to what’s in Grooveshark.  Haven’t apparently  yet found how much space is available to you on the free account. The VIP account, which costs US$3 per month (same as Last.fm) apparently allows to  you to store 50,000 songs which is about 300 GB and that’s a lot. Not sure though if this is just for your own stuff that you upload to Grooveshark or it includes all songs you’ve saved in playlists.

In any event, I’ve been using Grooveshark all day and I’m extremely impressed. Quite a chance I’ll end up paying for this.
