my fav ui is still html5.grooveshark.com tho

It does not do last.fm scrobbling, though. Sent them an email about it a few days ago.

Does the default Grooveshark site let you scrobble to last.fm? If so, how do you do it?

Looks clean, and seems to be faster as well. Only regret, they are still using flash for audio: would have been nice to use HTML5 like with html5.grooveshark.com.

Took a look at the code. It's built with Backbone.js!

unfortunately it's blocked in germany (due to "unreasonably high cost of operation").

does anyone know if this has something to do with the GEMA (which also won't let us watch so many youtube-videos in germany)?

Yes.

Might be a VIP feature, I'm not sure.

And still not available in Germany anymore thanks to GEMA. I use Spotify now.

yep, just go to the profile settings, under "connect accounts" tab you can connect it with your last.fm account.

I love it. Grooveshark now has the best digital music browsing experience, IMHO.

They should use that OPUS codec soon, and give up Flash completely.
