Spotify and Grooveshark are popular music streaming services that give users access to a massive library of music without buying and downloading individual track. These online services do have some shortfalls for instance, Spotify is not available worldwide (Canada) whereas in the latter service, songs and albums aren’t sorted well. Plus, some of the music is licensed and some isn’t. If you are looking for a freeware geared toward managing extensive music collections with a comprehensive feature set try – MusicBee.
