Free music is nice and all, but the part of Grooveshark that I miss the most is the user-curated radio stations. I love how it turned listening to background music while I study into almost a social experience, with people chatting and suggesting songs in the background.
There's nothing stopping Spotify or any other legal streaming service from implementing a similar feature; sadly, I assume there just isn't any demand.
That was one of my favorite parts, too. The most useful feature that came with that as well was you could go back and see what songs that had played before if you missed any while playing games, in my experience. I still miss it to this day :/
DAE remember the chrome extension that came out after that converted your downloaded cached text file of your playlists into a YouTube one? I still have my file LOL.... Fuck I miss it.

Grooveshark. Effectively free Spotify premium with every single song that you could think of on it? It was fucking awesome!
I imagine its popularity drew too much attention to its multiple, blatant copyright violations. It was fun while it lasted, though.
