...promo keys in comments...There are so many music services these days and not a single one fits all of our needs.Soundcloud had a lot of the local/indy/mashup music, then we had our local collections, and also Spotify Accounts - plus Grooveshark was so useful - we decided to use the APIs and create a music player that could tap into all of these services at once.
