Has anyone checked out qtrax lately? The beta version0.5 is out now really user friendly, sleek, with millions of songs available now from universal emi sony and warner and mostly every indie label (sony and warner tracks are limited, they’re still making outrageous demands for licensing rights) Downloads are super quick you can create playlists and share them all legal all FREE ,once they add portability ,which they say in the coming months this service will be what others aspire too. The gold standard for free legal p2p sites The DRM sucks but thats what you get for free and once they offer portability it dosent really matter unless you want to burn it to c.d.

GrooveShark is great, that’s one of the first websites providind REAL music on demand! However, I found some greater site: http://www.deezer.com

This one provides free and legal music on demand, and it has a VERY nice design! My favourite!

Hey Luis, thanks for the review!

If you’re looking for a version of Grooveshark that’s based more around a lightweight interface for listening to music and less about all the other features that go into our Beta, check out Grooveshark Lite (no download required, since it runs without Sharkbyte — Sharkbyte is only used if you want to manage your music on there too):

Thanks again for checking out our service and giving your honest opinions. We have some big changes brewing for our Beta as well, so be sure to check back soon.

Flixter also has an invasive quality to it; its a social site based on movie preferences. I chose not to input my yahoo password, which they say they only use so they could look on my email list to see if there were other members already on board(I can’t imagine a more invasive request than that one, next to last 4 and bank acct#). It would not let me proceed to the site without my email service password, and flixter still had me registered as a user, so I technically could forgo the privacy violation. But I know my tech savvy friends would bristle fiercely if I tried to invite them to such a brazen site.

Flixter also has a lot of potential as a social site where you can share your mutual interest in movies, but it demand’s to much private info for my taste. Your better off going to movielens.umn.edu/login , take the test and share your results with the friends who appreciate you looking out for their privacy.
