Chime in: Are you still annoyed about Microsoft shutting down Groove?

Microsoft has already announced the closure of the Groove Music service, pushing paying subscribers to Spotify, allowing them to import playlists and collections to continue enjoying their favorite tunes. Thing is, many people enjoyed Groove and found it to be quite the streaming platform, and not everyone has taken kindly to the news they will have to move across to another service.

It's also saddening to see Microsoft leave yet another consumer project in the trash.
