Description Sue Chastain 2009-06-17 08:53:27 UTC
We'd like Grooveshark support in Squeezecenter.

Grooveshark is an online music service similar to Pandora and Slacker in that you can listen to similar music by choosing a seed song, but you can also search for music to play it on demand and create playlists. This is all free with no sign up required. If you sign up, you can upload your own music to listen to. Here's the contact page: http://grooveshark.com/contact

re-assigning Seth's bugs to Matt
Comment 6 Walter 2010-01-18 14:22:38 UTC
Adding another request for this service. Would be really great to have on my squeezebox.
Cheers

Matt Weldon doesn't work for us any more.
Comment 8 stevejm29 2010-02-21 06:29:06 UTC

I also like to see support for Grooveshark with mysqueezebom.com
Comment 9 Richard Davies 2010-04-28 12:40:02 UTC
Several support requests have been submitted to Grooveshark regarding Squeezebox support:

http://getsatisfaction.com/grooveshark/topics/grooveshark_on_squeezebox
http://getsatisfaction.com/grooveshark/topics/grooveshark_on_squeezebox-10p1m

Unfortunately, Grooveshark doesn't appear to be very motivated to provide an API or expand their service to other devices. But if you're interested in this, I encourage you to visit those requests above and click the 'I have this idea/question too' button and leave a comment to indicate your interest. If enough people do this then maybe they might change their mind/priorities.

Maybe there's an opening on this:

Any volunteer to help developing this? :)
Comment 11 Jay Paroline 2010-05-20 20:22:33 UTC
Hey guys, Grooveshark developer here.

If someone would like to work with us on this project I'm sure it would be appreciated. It will have to be a VIP-only feature if it is developed, at least for now.

I've thought about poking at this myself because it seems like it would be darn cool to have Grooveshark on a device like this, and maybe it would give me an excuse to buy one, but the wiki docs are a bit daunting for something I don't really have any time to work on. I don't really know what's old deprecated crap and what's current, what the difference is between SqueezeCenter and SqueezePlay, whether we'd be developing a plugin or something else entirely.

If someone would like to hold my hand through the getting started process and point me in the right direction for what kind of thing we need to make for the kind of service that we offer, I might still take this on as a side project, but if someone wants to go at it with access to our API and such, it would probably go a lot faster. :) Please contact me at jay at grooveshark dot com if you're interested. Thanks!
Comment 12 Gary Cooper 2010-09-18 17:25:05 UTC
Just found this thread and wanted to add my vote for adding Grooveshark support to Squeezebox Server. I have several Squeezeboxes around the house and would love to have Grooveshark available. I am a Grooveshark VIP member and occasionally use it on my PC and Android phone, but I mostly use Pandora on my Squeezeboxes.
Comment 13 Jaime Roman 2010-10-25 11:23:40 UTC
Another vote for grooveshark in squeezebox!
Comment 14 Sam Russell 2010-12-01 06:24:41 UTC
This would be a wonderful addition to my Squeezebox Classic setup. Grooveshark is a wonderful service and Squeezebox's are a great product - these guys need to work together! It gets my vote!
Comment 15 Tim Dodge 2010-12-01 06:31:59 UTC
There's a pretty good grooveshark addon for xbmc now, which might make a good starting place for a squeezebox plugin.

Comment 16 Kevin 2010-12-01 08:38:41 UTC
Grooveshark on the entertainment center laptop is our #1 most used piece of software, by far. Its radio and sharing functionality and strong library make it indispensable to us. 

PLEASE build an integration with Squeezebox!
Comment 17 Dennis Hartwick 2011-01-02 15:00:18 UTC
I'd love a high resolution music streaming service.  Grooveshark is one.  

Thanks,
Dennis Hartwick
Comment 18 Richard Davies 2011-01-13 10:26:19 UTC
It appears GrooveShark is now on board and willing to help Logitech develop some sort of integration:

Logitech,

PLEASE work with GrooveShark to add support to SqueezeBox!
Comment 19 Brian 2011-02-04 07:49:19 UTC
Would love to see this app!

Comment 20 Graham Allen 2011-04-02 02:52:01 UTC
I agree with all the comments and Grooveshark would be a fantasic addition to SB Server
Comment 21 Peter Dodge 2011-04-27 13:36:56 UTC
I use Napster via Squeezebox and have gradually expanded from Classic, to Duet and Radio. Apart from the BBC iPlayer, the major missing killer Plug-in is Grooveshark. It would be great to have this facility in Squeezebox, please.
Comment 22 Wayne Willis 2011-06-03 07:43:32 UTC
As one of the early adopters of Squeezebox, I'd really like this feature.  I love my Pandora on SB.
Comment 23 Ray Wiley 2011-06-29 15:52:25 UTC
I am sad and somewhat surprised to find there's not a grooveshark plug-in already.
Comment 24 blue 2011-07-02 22:40:27 UTC
I am frustrated ... a little over a year ago a Grooveshark developer offered to assist in this forum without any response.   

The sad thing is...  adding grooveshark capability just has the potential to enhance people's usage of the device and serve as viral marketing.   I have a LOT of squeezebox devices and lately, find myself using my computer with grooveshark (even though I have hundreds of CDs)because it is sooo easy to create playlists and such (versus the squeezebox interface which is too slow for me)

Disappointed with Logitech on this point.
Comment 25 moreje 2011-10-03 01:08:39 UTC
Hope we will have soon a support of Grooveshark on our Squeezeboxes!
Thanks
Comment 26 cookiemonster 2011-12-15 15:51:43 UTC
Please add support for Grooveshark. Thanks.
Comment 27 George 2012-01-21 10:06:30 UTC
A Grooveshark app would be a great addition to the Squeezebox library of apps.  Unlike Pandora, Rhapsody, MOG, etc, in Canada, I can still use this service, and would like to enjoy it through my stereo via the Squeezebox Touch.
Comment 28 gb 2012-01-25 03:20:27 UTC
Would be really great to have on my squeezebox.
Cheers
Comment 29 kulf 2012-01-26 00:50:41 UTC
OK, I'm opting out.

As Grooveshark is not available in Germany anymore, and since it took more than 2 years to no avail, I'm no longer interested in having Grooveshark. There are a lot of better options, and they are fully backed (=legal).
Comment 30 Squee Ze 2012-02-13 03:42:53 UTC
I've just purchased my 2nd Squeezebox and have now signed up for Grooveshark Premium. I'd love to see a Grooveshark app for my Squeezebox!
Comment 31 Sebastian Vad Lorentzen 2012-02-13 05:12:06 UTC
I voted for the importance of this bug some time ago, but lately i signed up for Spotify Premium, and it seems to work great!!

Since Grooveshark and the Danish music industry hasn't come to terms, all Danish service providers will most likely soon be forced to DNS block Grooveshark which will render it unusable by common Danes (the same has already happened to TPB):

Comment 33 myrza11 2012-07-28 10:13:02 UTC
I've a Squeezbox Boom and a Grooveshark premium account. It'll be great to have this plugin. I'm a developper if may be I can give some help.
