Grooveshark, I want you to know I loved you. As a user. 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…
Also I hope things are going well for you now physcab, since we haven't seen each other in a few years.

An album on Tuesday, and before that on Saturday. (But then I'm one of the people who grew up buying music, I've got ~1,200 albums on vinyl and ~5000 on CD as a testament to my music purchasing past...)
Yeah but your kind are going extinct.
I discovered it a few minutes ago because I had just purchased a Premium Spotify license and opened Grooveshark to export my collections. All my favorite songs, albums and bands were listed there, and only there. I used Grooveshark for a few years, and enjoyed it. Thank you for that. But also fuck you. Throwing away data like that is unforgivable for a service. Imagine Facebook disappearing with your list of friends,…
Regarding shutdown - I saw that coming - put a few favourite songs into a text file :/

Getting downvoted but my opinion stands: being a musician is not a job and you can't expect to get paid for it. It would be like expecting to get paid for playing video games. Making music is a leisure activity and a very rewarding one. Thinking you should make a living on it is just greedy. Get a normal job and create music for its own sake.
You can, infact, make a living with playing video games. I wonder how you would feel if I said developing is a big hobby of mine, a leisure activity, and a very rewarding one actually. You should not make money from that, get a real job, and practice your development hobby for its own sake.

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?

It had a few ideas that were before their time, like a playlist DJ, and what a 17 year old me thought passed for a 'stylish UI' [2]

Second, So the major music companies own the music I created and uploaded as past of the GrooveShark artist program?

I used grooveshark, but now streamer extension on chrome is a better option. youtube has all the music anyway
can you provide a link please? The search for "streamer" on chrome extensions results in many products.

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. Yeah Grooveshark was really getting in the way of me paying for that album ($10) and song ($1.something) I paid for in the…
Use a legit service like spotify and discover new music. I've started listening to dozens of new artists because of it.
It has no random feature, the channels they offer are either hand crafted or based on popularity. The music selection excludes many smaller, and indie, labels. The search functionalities are very limited (the metadata is too low quality).
I wanted to love Spotify, and I really gave it a try. I just couldn't keep using it, all it did for me was to make me angry. In the end it's mostly good for listening to what the major labels think you should listen.
