agreed. Michael, your daughter needs to realise how music is changing. If she wants to succeed she needs to adjust to the modern society

[...] Pandora or social network sites like Twitter and end up in a cloud-based service like Spotify or Grooveshark. Significantly, these companies are startups and not traditional media [...]

Michael, with users downloading more and more songs illegally, I think it is unrealistic for your daughter to expect to make money from song and album sales. The real money these days is in live performances, and online streaming helps in this by exposing music to more people. I'd say that's a win for the artist.

Love the site. Just discovered it a week ago. No Canadian restrictions, either, which screwed me out of Pandora a long while back. I hear others' concerns about copyright issues; I have a daughter in the "biz" trying to make a go of it, and I'd be pissed if she wasn't being paid for her music. But ... this is the new model. People are going to pay for good music and ignore crap. I still have 900+ songs on my iTunes, all paid and legal. I just like this option to give my list a break and to discover new material. If GS goes bust, no skin off my nose. I'll move on to something else. I do love the site, however, and hope it stays and flourishes.

Can’t say I like the new redesigned site at all simply because it wont load on my work PC. Grooveshark has been a HUGE help in getting me through the day at work because I could listen to pretty much any music I wanted. Now though it’s not working which makes me a sad panda :(

I’d like to know if GS ever plans on policing the streaming of unlicensed music, of if it’s found that it doesn’t much affect it’s business, so why bother?

Personally, I feel that if it tried to work out deals with content owners, even in the most basic agreement, the possibilities to form partnerships/cross-promotions, even just to grow into something more than just another option from using iTunes would be far greater than they are now.

My Beatles songs disappeared a couple of weeks ago, and the only problem I’ve had with a song not playing through (without a nudge) is a Leonard Cohen track that always stops in the same place. I love the fact I’ve been able to unearth songs I hadn’t heard in ages, but yeah, I’m enjoying the service while it’s available. If it folds, no big deal.

It’s working better than ever.
A very much needed face lift.
Better functionality
More intuitive
More jawsome.

I like the new look, it’s better and that, but I think I find the new “radio” annoying. I liked better the autoplay feature. The new “radio” is like the autoplay, but instead of putting on the songs of one genre you like, it puts some sorta random song at the pool. I was listening to Fall From Grace, and then they put me like two Ray Charles songs. I like Charles too, but I didn’t wanted to hear him in that moment, I wanted to hear more similar bands like Fall From Grace, naming AFI, The Used, MCR, like the autoplay. I wish they could return autoplay to the game…

I have been using grooveshark for the past 2 months and with the new design I find it annoying. Every song I listen to it seems to have interuptions so I will be finding another site to use if it does not get corrected as soon as possible. And get licesensed because you all can be put out of business for copyright infringement and other legal issues. Hava a nice day.

Katie,

So far today I have not had any interuptions and the new site layout is superb. Give it another try!

Since you have remodeld your website, not one song will play completly through with out at least 2 interuptions. I find this very annoying… im sure its just a glitch since it was only remodeled last night however i thought somebody should know.
