Grooveshark for listening to music

I've just started using Grooveshark.com for listening to music. Running in the browser, its a great cross platform solution - no installs necessary.

The quality seems great, even though I've got it on the lower quality, and I'm hoping its just what I need to find some new and interesting music.
