argh. they are not even using HTML5's core features. so it should work well even in internet explorer.
 
ah well. if you are on a limited bandwidth connection, grooveshark is bad for your pocket. otherwise, it is probably the coolest music service on the web today :D
 
Grooveshark is good for English stuff - but of course. Indian stuff is just about so so.
 
right it does not have rare songs. but i still find plenty of stuff from bollywood too. the good thing is that you can upload your songs that are made available to everyone. (hah!).
 


Google recently removed the Grooveshark app from the Android Market, claiming the app was in violation of Google's policies. But Grooveshark isn't going down without a fight. The company has fired back in an open letter, saying there's nothing wrong with its music-streaming app."Google hasn't specified what it was in their 'Terms of Service' that we allegedly violated, but there does appear to be some confusion about whether Grooveshark is a legal service," reads the letter, which was published on digitalmusicnews.com. "So let's set the record straight: there is nothing illegal about what Grooveshark offers to consumers."

Apple yanked the Grooveshark app from the App Store in August after Apple received a complaint from Universal Music Group UK.

Grooveshark said its app is legally protected, "We pay for our streams, and we actively negotiate with virtually every single content owner. We've taken down over 1.76 million files and suspended upload privileges to 22,274 users. These are not the characteristics of a company 'dedicated to copy right infringement,'" Grooveshark said.

Grooveshark is requesting that both Apple and Google make the app available again.
