SHORTEE is the BEST!
I signed up because of Shortee... I was aware of Groove3 but her name and reputation was the turning point for me. Very professionally made. Sound quality is a big factor... The fact that there is very little room tone is an instant signal that it's worth it and more... I've recommended to several people and will keep dong so!
