Better music solution

First of all I love music, I love variety of it and many genres of it. I have always had an extensive library of music on my computer weather it's from digitizing my CD's or buying digital albums or enjoying some free downloaded music. It's all fun and awesome when you have less than let's say 3 GB of music, but once you hit over that threshold your organizing is put to the test and it becomes this prized possession on your computer that you carefully catalog and distribute to your devices.
Then I stumbled upon Grooveshark, which is a cloud library of music that streams to your desktop for absolutely free. All you need to do is search for whatever music you want and it's there. Certainly it's ad supported, but the adds are not intrusive and the music quality is decent enough for me to choose that as my music solution. 
You can make playlists, favorite tracks, and listen to the internal radio which selects songs for you based on your previous preference. The best part is that it's all in the cloud and you don't have to worry about loosing your music if you PC explodes or someone decides to borrow it without your knowing. Also you can access all of your music at work without having to bring your mp3 player.
Even has some neat sharing options, let me try this


The only catch here is that if you want this awesomeness on the go you need to pay a subscription fee and stream the music on the go, which means a data plan.
But for folks on the budget you can always download the playlist on pay as you go basis from iTunes or Amazon or some other site.
Point is give it a shot, it's pretty sweet.
