Earlier quoted context omitted.

How did you decrypt offlined files? I have a bunch of songs trapped in the official app on an android device. I would love to know how to convert the .dat files into .mp3s or similar. please share

I haven't found a way yet, cracking the encryption is taking longer than I expected. I spent about a day on it now and it could take another few days, but I probably have the decryption key at home. I'll be home next Friday, so that would be the earliest time I could get to them (if I still have it). Send me your email address at temp84293@lucb1e.com if you want to be updated when I found it. Or if you find anything,…

Update: I've found a way to decrypt it. The above email address is valid until at least 2015-05-31.

I'm sooooo glad I was paying a yearly fee for a VIP membership... and now I can't even get a copy of my playlists. All of those obscure songs I fell in love with are gone. I wonder if the information they turned over included my credit card billing data... Is it time to build a personal, private, self-hosted, open-source grooveshark clone?

http://www.soundtrack.io/ is well under way from the Coding Soundtrack community that came together when TurnTable.fm was alive.

You can probably recover your playlist. (Instructions for Chrome) On the computer you used grooveshark on: visit the website, open developer tools, open "resources tab", click on local storage->grooveshark.com. Now find the key called 'libraryXXXXXX' where the X's are numbers. Right-click it, "edit value" and copy/paste that data here: https://json-csv.com .

Late, but if your library gets truncated because it is huge like mine, you can instead get it by opening the console and typing JSON.stringify(localStorage); while on grooveshark.com
