Grooveshark Clone Script Torrent Full
Grooveshark, I want you to know I loved you. As an ex-employee. You taught me so much. I remember my task as an intern was to turn Autoplay into something more beyond office employees voting on their favorite genres of music. I remember my first attempt at an algorithm, everyone got Coldplay as their recommended artist. I remember when we discovered Hadoop for the first time and our analysis on TBs of data took minutes instead of weeks.
I remember when Ed accidentally dropped the Artist table on master, then quickly stopped the replication process before all hell broke loose. I remember when Nate made it so every image on any website I visited on my laptop showed sexually explicit material when investors came for a visit. I remember when Skyler met his (now) wife.
I remember learning about advertising and meeting Less Than Jake. I remember learning not to run a Group By on mysql when it had 8 billion rows in the middle of the day during peak use. I remember going without a salary for 6 months because we had no money. And yet we persevered. You guys and girls gave me excellent real world experience at a time when I shouldn't have been trusted with a computer. Thank you for all the good times and the great culture you instilled.
Hope the Atlantic gives everyone free tallboys tonight. The site is just an image with small text, so I've transcribed it here;-Dear music fans,Today we are shutting down Grooveshark.We started out nearly ten years ago with the goal of helping fans share and discover music.
But despite the best of intentions, we made very serious mistakes. We failed to secure licenses from rights holders for the vast amount of music on the service.That was wrong.
We apologize.Without reservation.As part of the settlement agreement with the major record companies, we have agreed to cease operations immediately, wipe clean all of the record companies’ copyrighted works and hand over ownership of this website, our mobile apps and intellectual property, including our patents and copyrights.At the time of our launch, few music services provided the experience we wanted to offer - and think you deserve. Fortunately, that’s not longer the case. There are now hundreds of fan friendly, affordable services available for you to choose from, including Spotify, Deezer, Google Play, Beats Music, Rhapsody and Rdio, among many others.If you love music and respect the artists, songwriters and everyone else who makes great music possible, use a licensed service that compensates artists and other rights holders. You can find out more about the many great services available where you live here.It has been a privilege getting to know so many of you and enjoying music together. Thank you for being such passionate fans.Yours in music,Your friends at GroovesharkApril 30, 2015-Source at. As part of the settlement agreement with the major record companies,we have agreed to cease operations immediately, wipeclean all of the record companies’ copyrighted works andhand over ownership of this website, our mobile apps andintellectual property, including our patents and copyrights.Yeah Grooveshark was really getting in the way of me paying for that album ($10) and song ($1.something) I paid for in the last couple of days.Oh and that $1 song?
I bought it because I heard it on one of those videos-that-is-really-just-a-still-frame-so-they-can-share-the-music for the song. Also, what is Grooveshark again? I've heard of it, but I don't think I've ever used it.My experiences can't be atypical, can they?
Was it really a threat worth shutting down and all of the legal expenses? This just hurts me because literally in the last couple of days I watched an unlicensed copy of a song, liked it, and then bought it because I could and I wanted better quality sound. The (different) album was a similar pipeline-A link on Reddit directed me to the song (in the form of a YouTube video) and I then ended up buying the album.I can't be the only one.
I find that interesting because I mostly use streaming services to find music I buy. Largely because I've yet to use a streaming service that handles intermittent connectivity well enough (you'd think that my commute from a densely populated London suburb, along one of the highest density commuter routes in Europe, in to Central London would have decent mobile data coverage, wouldn't you. But you'd be sadly mistaken) to be worth using most of the time. Also because most of them are really quite horrible at picking tracks I want to listen to at any given time overall.I couldn't imagine relying on those services for most of my listening. Largely because I've yet to use a streaming service that handles intermittent connectivity well enoughIf you have an Android phone: Google Play All Access.You can offline content to your phone as if you own the music, but you get full access to their complete library. It's pretty brilliant, IMO.Edit: though that doesn't help you if you're looking for a radio-like service. I tend to listen to albums at a time, and discover artists through third party services (e.g., Rate Your Music) that then drive me to sample stuff on Play.
So it works well for me. Once I've decided I like something, I tend to want to actually own it. Play's opaqueness when it comes to telling me what's DRMd and what isn't (may very well have changed - I haven't bothered checking in a very long time, and to be honest I don't know whether they've ever had DRMd music at all, because their lack of transparency with respect to video content and ebooks mean I never bothered even looking at their music section) has kept me away from using it at all for content.It's the discovery I find annoyingly troublesome. It had the exact opposite effect for me. I used Spotify for a couple of years and basically only listened to the same playlists over and over again.
Only when they forced people to use Facebook to log in I stopped paying and using their service and suddenly a whole new world oppened for me. I started using SoundCloud, Jammendo and YouTube to find new music from outside of the mainstream and never looked back.This was four years ago, in the meantime i built up my private music library mostly with Vinyl + MP3 download codes and went all the way to mimic Spotifies technical solutions and can stream my library from a Raspberry Pi at home. I listen to BBC Radio 6 for new music (mainly Lauren Laverne) and the blogged 50 radio on Google Play. When I hear something I like I just add it in google Play.Spotify didn't stop you from finding new music, your own habits/place you were in in life did that. I went through a phase of only listening to all my existing mp3s for a few years, but the last year has been an orgy of new stuff.I wouldn't attribute it to listening/not listening to a streaming service.Google Play slightly annoys me at times, the app is pretty horribly designed and slow at times, but spotify was blocked on a network I regularly used and I'm used to its quirks now.I don't buy music any more. At the moment there's simply no point with a Google Play subscription.
The only band I've noticed missing is Placebo's old albums. I have personally found Spotify's BrowseDiscover feature to be be useful and worthy, I've found a lot of interesting music in there.My use case though is that I most often go on Spotify to listen to a specific album I had in mind, either I knew already or heard of it from a friend, blog, local gig, etc. But those times (20% maybe?) I feel like trying something new, I always find something good on Discover.I wish their UI was better though. The desktop app spawns 7 SpotifyHelper processes that each eat 40mb of RAM and the whole thing feels way slow on my 10ish year laptop. The web app uses flash, and while it consumes less ram, the playback is choppy on my pc.
At least the desktop app plays fine once it's started. I was a professional musician for 15 years. After having kids, the amount of time that I would've had to spend on the road playing and selling t shirts would've far outweighed the time I would've had to be home raising them, so I started teaching myself development in the tour bus.
That was 7 years ago.My old band is still out there, selling out Red Rocks, and any of their merch that you can buy at the show has the highest margin of anything. This is true for every band from John Mayer to the Avett Brothers to your local Dead cover band.So help me God, buy a shirt at the show or on their website. This makes me immensely sad as a long time user of Grooveshark.Such contrast in fortunes when you compare YouTube 0 and Grooveshark.
Grooveshark, for most part, was an amazing service. They were at the forefront of UI design, brilliant at surfacing new and related content (music), excellent at quality of service (variable bit-rate buffering).You would think that with a good exit to a company like Yahoo or Amazon, it could have really been a hit. I could easily imagine Google gobbling them up and merging it with Vevo. It isn't a dramatically different service than YouTube. But it wasn't to be.Doesn't it make sense to open source code when you know the product is dying?0.
As a native of Gainesville, FL (where Grooveshark is based), this is really sad news. Certainly they made mistakes, but what few see is how much they contributed to the tech community here. Their CTO has personally mentored many companies in the area, and they have a presence at pretty much every tech-related event. I can't think of any other company within a 100-mile radius that can fill that role now that they're gone. Hopefully they'll spin off some new businesses in the area. Otherwise this will be a huge blow to Gainesville's already struggling tech and startup communities.
Well, the flipside is, let's face it, their business was pretty darn shady. Looking around here, I'm not sure what negative sentiment you're referring to, but.:)That said, I think the answer to your puzzlement is pretty simple: every situation is different.For example, I don't much sympathize with taxi medallion monopolies. While I understand how they evolved, today it's clear that the existing taxi business model needed to be disrupted in order to improve the consumer experience. Would you have a problem with it if they gave it away for free (and didn't have to worry about covering their operating costs, via a deus ex machina?)That's a good question. I honestly don't know!I'd definitely have less of a problem with it.
Which is, I realize, pretty dumb as that doesn't alleviate the harm to the artists.About the only intellectual justification I can come up with is that, as a free service, it's easier to position something like that as a way to discover artists. I think, by selling a subscription, their customers would be more likely to view their consumption as legitimate, and so wouldn't feel compelled to later turn around and buy the music they were listening to.But again, that's my intellectualizing a position I can't honestly explain. I'd definitely have less of a problem with it. Which is, I realize, pretty dumb as that doesn't alleviate the harm to the artists. About the only intellectual justification I can come up with is that, as a free service, it's easier to position something like that as a way to discover artists.
I think, by selling a subscription, their customers would be more likely to view their consumption as legitimate, and so wouldn't feel compelled to later turn around and buy the music they were listening to.Well, think of it this way: that's exactly what public libraries already do - their funding comes from tax dollars, so they don't need to turn an operating profitActually, public libraries are arguably worse, because tax revenues tax not just the consumers, but the artists themselves. Not only do they give artists' work away for free to consumers, but artists are actually forced to pay for others to access their work for free!
Yeah, but when it comes to libraries there's a public-good element to their activities, as they provide access to those materials for those who otherwise may not be able to afford them.In addition, a library, as a source of physical copies, can't lend and re-lend the same content over and over. Which is why, of course, ebook lending programs at libraries are often limited to a certain number of copies. There's an attempt to apply that same restriction to digital content.Lastly, the lending is always time-limited, unlike digital services. Do you understand how compulsory licensing works? Do you really believe no indie artist has ever collected royalties on their music?Yes, I do understand how licensing works. The RIAA collects royalties on all music, whether or not the artist is signed to one of their labels0.Then, the artist has to register with the RIAA (technically, SoundExchange) to get paid, and if the RIAA is in a good mood, they may decide to pay the artist.
Or they may decide to keep some or all of the money they collected on behalf of the artist1.Again, this applies not just to artists who are signed to a major label, but to independent artists who have no association with the RIAA whatsoever.Meanwhile, the RIAA files lawsuits on the grounds that the artists (read: the RIAA) is losing money due to filesharing, and when they receive a settlement, they pay literally none of that money to the artists they claimed were harmed, and instead spend that money on. More lawsuits2.012. A couple of weeks ago I discovered (In Grooveshark) an album of 'Ninja Gaiden 2: The Dark Sword of Chaos' remix, which was actually really good.The only place were this album was available was in Grooveshark. Now I'll never be able to listen to it again. That's quite sad.Also, services like Rdio (I am a subscriber), spotify and the like don't have all the music I listen to (or is not available in my country). For example this album: I cannot listen.
Even though I am a paying member, and the funniest thing is that I have the CD at my mom's house, were I bought it about 13 years ago.Grooveshark (like AllOfMP3 on its time) was years light from the paying services. Dear Grooveshark,From the first day I saw your service, I had doubts about the legitimacy of what you were doing. After watching YouTube grow into a massive company - building on infringement then turning a corner through appeasement to the legacy media interests - I knew doing a pivot was possible.
Every time I saw your name mentioned, it looked like you were refusing to play ball.Part of me applauds anything that really pisses off the RIAA, and there's another part of me that has rational fear of what the RIAA is capable of doing through legal channels. Your service had a big bullseye painted on it, so I stayed far, far away. I never even bothered to check if my music ended up there.I was too busy focusing on channels I know to at least try to be in-line with artist payment methods (iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Google, etc).
I fully comprehend the notion of Safe Harbors, and also comprehend that there was no way - ever - that you could lawyer up enough to defeat RIAA.Music is an industry that truly does need to evolve, as the current disruptions are helpful, but still lacking the genius innovation to best connect listeners and content producers in an equitable relationship. Will it ever happen? I'm optimistic. However, this day was inevitable, and as much as I'd like to compliment you on trying, I'm held back by the fact Grooveshark was, for lack of a better term, a white-washed piracy site. Good luck on your next endeavors, and I truly hope you learned from this experience.- An Independent Musician. I KNEW I should have backed up my music library. I once played a bit with their Javascript front-end and figured out how I could do it, but never got around to.
I also planned on asking them to send me a copy - I'm a paying customer, it seemed reasonable. A copy of the song list of course, not the songs themselves.Now I only have what is cached locally on my phone. I've disabled WiFi and mobile data and opened the Grooveshark app: phew, it's still there (no remote wipe). I remember less than three days ago my subscription was renewed. The app locally checks the date, so I have a small month to get my data out of there.One tiny bit of luck: I already figured out how to decrypt the locally stored songs back into mp3s.
That's at least something. If I can dig up the script again.Anyone ideas on how to get the full list back easily?
Is there a data archive I can download for my 'VIP' account?Edit: reddit helps out! See:There is GoodForOneCare's comment with some Javascript (which didn't work for me, but gave me some hints) and there is which retrieved a few playlists for me. That's something at least, whew.Now let's see about extracting my phone's data.Edit2: found my decryption script but it doesn't contain their encryption key. Guess I'll have to re-crack it, this time without Wireshark to capture the decrypted data. It's a simple substitution cipher though, shouldn't be too hard.Edit3: pulling data from my phone, from the root of my sdcard (/dev/block/mmcblk0p16), the files are located in:/app/com.grooveshark. for the APK/data/com.grooveshark.android.v1 for stuff/media/0/Android/data/com.grooveshark.android.v1 for cache and offline files.
I was at UF working on another startup when GrooveShark started and was pretty familiar with how they started. One of our co-founders even did some design work for them.
GrooveShark always had an awesome user experience, and I always wished their business model would be legitimized so their company can prosper and service consumers as how they should be.I wish the best of luck to Sam and Josh. I hope they are able to take their passion onto other endeavors. Though UF has a lot of talented students, because Gainesville is a dinky city, it doesn't have the same startup resources as on the west cost. Grooveshark was able to give a lot of students the opportunity to work on something cool and bring some exposure to UF. I switched to Rdio a few years ago, but before that I was a huge Grooveshark fan. Other commenters have mentioned this as well, but I think Grooveshark was waaaay ahead of their time with their HTML5 interface.
I remember being absolutely floored by their big first redesign.I interned at a quasi-competitor whose deal was to allow you to upload your own music (pre-Google Music) and I remember one of the founders constantly talking about how Grooveshark wouldn't last long with all the lawsuits. That was 6 years ago, and honestly I'm astonished it took this long.It's a shame to see it go. I don't have much faith in this happening, but hopefully some of the code makes it out of all this. I've been a GS user since almost the beginning, back when there was a little java tool for uploading your music collection. GS gave me a way to access my library for free and in a consistent manner over the past decade. I waited for days as my library of 10000+ tracks (90% indie/alt + underground artists) uploaded to their servers.GS was way ahead of the curve when it came to delivering music easily and widely.
The HTML5 interface worked simly everywhere. Using a IE on a 360? 1st gen iPhone? Search as song, press play, enjoy.GS filled a niche that Spotify cannot ever fill. Because GS was built upon the libraries of its users, all the little mp3s that had been hoarded, recorded, never officially released, fan remixes and safegaurded had been uploaded with the mainstream content. It was built on what users kept because they knew it could not be replaced. The special, the underground.So long GS.'
Hack the Gibson, hack the Gibson, I'm seedin' BitTorrents like a digital pimp, son.' Yet another anecdote here. For me, Grooveshark was the genesis of music discovery. Napster, limewire, etc. Helped with artists I knew about already. Mp3.com helped me with genres but did not expand my library too much. Early Last.fm/audioscrobbler was interesting to see what my friends were listening to, but it was not effortless to discover similar/new music there.
Winamp shoutcast stations helped me to broaden my music portfolio, but there was no mechanism to save favorite songs/artists that I had heard, and re-listen to them. GS took the best of all those things and added more.So I listened to GS for years. I owe GS a lot. Now I wonder if I, or if we had supported them more, would they have not met their demise?
This is really sad news. I used to look at the Grooveshark interfaces with awe. You guys were always on top of your usability and design, right down to the 400 error pages.I really love the goal you guys had when you started on this journey, and I admire that you were forging a new path. Before all of these music services came out, you were the only reliable option for listening to music the way I wanted to.Josh, thank you for taking time to share your story with me when I was in college writing Startups Open Sourced.
I admire your enthusiasm and persistence, and you seem like an awesome person to work with in any capacity.I wish everyone at Grooveshark the best. Honestly, what was Grooveshark doing that was hurting anybody?
If you'd answer by saying 'The artists' or 'the record companies', you're dead wrong. Record companies have insane income, while artists and bands make up a large portion of the world's millionaires. New or less popular artists were sometimes even positively affected by their music being on the site, as it made finding their music easier. The companies who sued are only showing the world what they actually care about. Cash, loot, dollars, euro, yen, moo-lah.
Whatever you want to call it. I'm not saying that Grooveshark was perfect or that it's employees were saints, but I am saying that they were treated unfairly. The RIAA is trash, and Grooveshark's demise is a testament to that. Personally, as a musical artist and as someone who loves music of all kinds, I would never trust my music with any of these companies. The only way I can feel toward artists who go along with what these companies is disgusted. My music will always be allowed on streaming websites, as long as I get proper credit for it, not payment.
As a long-time Grooveshark user, (paying) subscriber, and partner, this is a very sad event. I echo others in that Grooveshark's music service was one of the best out there in terms of their UI, audio quality and music discovery-I discovered TONS of new bands and artists thanks to them, and bough the music of those I really loved.A word about Josh Greenberg, the co-founder and CTO of Grooveshark.
He's an amazing guy. When I started my startup Metrical0, he was the first person to give it a try-in a real, production environment. He put us in front of millions of users and was patient as we worked through bugs and issues. He really put faith in someone with a 'cool idea' and gave me a shot. Thanks Josh!Grooveshark was an amazing service, and will be missed. Josh, I'm looking forward to seeing you go on to bigger and better things.Remember The Man In The Arena, by Theodore Roosevelt:It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

Yes, I know you can. Just as you can make money making music. The important word here is 'can'. You are not however entitled to it.
A lucky few gets paid but that's an extreme privilege you shouldn't take for granted.The difference with development is that no-one questions the business model. You code and get paid for it while music is a completely different story. Before I became a professional developer I coded for fun and was happy with that. If the market would be like music (where 99% of artists cannot make a living out of it) then yes, I would say exactly that. I have loved and listened on Grooveshark for the last 8 years.
Since my first job while in highschool. You were the first app I have ever installed, on my company blackberry so I could listen on the commute. You let me send my highschool sweetheart songs of love and joy, let me express so effortlessly what I wanted to say when words fail. Her and I needed you through long nights at college, keeping us focused and energized. When I scored my first internship we offlined our entire collections for the 36 hour drive from Chicago to California. We drove that 4 more times with you. And finally, after the many years of sharing together and a college degree later, you were there to play the music as she walked down the isle.I can genuinely say you made my life better, you have given me true happiness.
To recover my collections and playlists i used:webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:PutYourUrlHere&strip=11. Seach your profile (or your profile's collection, playlist etc.) with Google.2. Don't click search results, just copy the URL of your profile3. Replace the text 'PutYourUrlHere' with the URL you copied.

It is important to include '&strip=1' at the end because it opens you the text version of the page, otherwise it won't work.My cached profile page was from 28.3.2015, so at least I managed to save most of my data. Groovebackup.com was not as useful as this approach. These things just make me more determined to stick by my music collection in mp3/ogg format, stored locally.Until the digital rights to copy bits are globally declared we can't trust any company to provide continuous service, regardless of how well 'licensed' they are. People are copying music anyway but the mafiaa make it difficult for you to create a public service or offer a public tool to do it easily, even if you're still exercising your fundamental rights to manipulate your own computer and your own storage in any way you like. I've personally switched to Google Play Music, mostly out of sheer convenience.
Previously I used just the free service to upload my own stuff. The amount of storage they offer is pretty huge and the sync app isn't too bad.Then I decided to give All Access a try and discovered a pretty enormous selection at a decent price (double what I was paying for my GS subscription, but with a properly curated library that doesn't disappear randomly), with full offlining support to my phone.Overall I've been incredibly happy. I'm sure other services are as good or better but I've not found a reason, yet, to shop around so I figure I'll stick with Play for the foreseeable future.
Yeah, you'd think.Pandora is a weird service. They pay less for their music in exchange for putting restrictions on it that make it less likely to substitute for music purchases. It really is supposed to just be radio, and they do things like limit skips so that you can't just skip ahead until you get to the exact song you want to listen to. The music companies want you to still go out and buy the album if you want to do that.
On the other hand, Pandora is cheaper, at $5/month versus, for example, $10/month for Spotify.Personally, I wish I could get Pandora's selection algorithm's into Spotify and have the best of both worlds. 'The fact that company execs specifically went and reuploaded songs that were taken down by DMCA notices is incredibly damning.' -TechdirtThis and Grokster. It'll be nice when we finally get a case where someone actually has clean hands.Let this be a lesson to anyone starting a service without an idea of how big it'll get. Do something awesome, but keep your nose clean. (PS, in case it's not obvious - sometimes they read your early emails when you go to court, especially those sarcastic and glib ones that could be misread to make you look like a jerk.)Meanwhile, how much data on Grooveshark users did the labels just acquire?
I wonder if they'll see suits against users as a waste of time, or a way to quickly extract a small settlement from each of them.
