I honestly believe that Grooveshark will never get love from the major record labels. They just pissed them off and the record industry likes to play hardball.
I gave them a tech suggestion a few weeks ago for their mobile apps. Obviously the apple app store won't allow them and neither will Google Play. Their obvious route in this situation should be to leverage HTML5 Localstorage. (this is with respect to storing songs for offline listening..) They haven't gotten around to it yet but I hope they do sometime soon.
I have an rDio subscription but I love Grooveshark because I can always find every song there. rDio doesn't have deals with every label around the world so if I want to listen to something slightly offbeat - chances are that only Grooveshark will have it.
- nashequilibrium 14y agoI am not familiar with the music app scene, but whenever I am working I have grooveshark open, I can find any song, especially the latest ones. I also don't have facebook so I can't use those apps, the whole experience is very seamless. At the gym I use the Pandora app but if I had access to grooveshark, I would definitely replace Pandora with it. Maybe to do what it takes to get this level of seamlesness is what is causing a backlash from record labels. I also love not being forced into social sharing.
- rsanchez1 14y agoI don't think HTML5 local storage is really suited to storing full songs. It's more of a key/value storage.
