All about Grooveshark

grooveshark ui7 300x217 All about Grooveshark

 Grooveshark is a great way to listen to your favorite tunes online without any hidden catches or fees.  According to Wikipedia, Grooveshark is:
"Grooveshark is an internationally available online music search engine, music streaming service and music recommendation web software application, allowing users to search for, stream, and upload music free of charge that can be played immediately or added to a playlist. Grooveshark aims to help bridge the growing gaps between artists, consumers and those in between who distribute, market, and promote music."
That being said, GrooveShark is a massive song database, featuring any genre of song you can think of.
Just search and I’m pretty confident that you will find what you are looking for . The music lists are a wonder to browse, you won’t feel lost at all! You don’t have to save the music and play it locally, just play it over the net.

Don’t worry about the legality, Groveshark should comply with copyrights regulations as the site made deals and agreements with music copyright holders.

In addition, Grooveshark is not just a simple MP3 search engine. It also comes with Grooveshark Radio, a service that can find songs recommendations based on your current playlist. With an account, you can also maintain your own playlists, favorites and follow others in the Grooveshark social network.


Not sure what to listen? You can listen to pre-set genre radios (classical, rock, Indie, rap, pop and electronica) and popular music based on what other users are listening right now.

If you want to go advertising-less, you can sign up to their premium service, Grooveshark VIP, for 3.00$ a month or 30.00$ a year. With the VIP upgrade, you can use the website in full screen, better song and interface presentation(no more ads!), and early access to new features.

Perhaps the biggest advantage to be a VIP is the access to the mobile applications for Android, Palm, Nokia and Blackberry. You can bring your music anywhere as long there’s Internet! You don’t have to store music on the memory any longer.

Unfortunately, Grooveshark for iPhone and iPod Touch(iOS) has been removed from the Apple store.

Grooveshark is Adobe Flash-based and you’ll need it to use the application from a computer, check it out here!
