We’ve seen many different online music stores, but it appears one site has finally figured out how to remove all the annoying aspects and integrate every feature and function into one page. Clickgroove has begun the web 2.0 interface of music shopping.

The left side bar features selections for new music, charts, labels, and genres. You can click on each one of them to sort the music listings. The magic begines once you click on an artist. With some really crafty ajax scripts, the page on the right loads by itself without any apparent loading of the whole entire page. At the top features your playlist which you can select and play any preview of a song. The music continues playing even if you backspace and visit a previous page from before. This would be such a welcome addition for the music store, the fact that we can browse other music listings while continuously listening to music makes it much more pleasant and much more useful. Need I remind you that there are NO POPUPS to listen to the music! 

The only suggestion for Clickgroove woule be to add a social element to the site. Similar to the review system emusic has on all of its albums. Plus we should be able to add all tracks within an album to the playlist. But for now, everything is alright.
