			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems as though Grooveshark is now offering anyone to embed full length song streams into their websites. Grooveshark has an embed tool that users can customize and add to their sites.</p>
<p>Regardless, all of this puts Grooveshark at  a serious advantage over  rivals like Spotify and Rdio.  For example,  Spotify requires playlist  recipients to access shared playlists within  the Spotify application &#8211;  that is, where available.  Rdio even has an  incredible in-app  Twitter-sharing feature, though songs can only be  accessed by fellow  subscribers.</p>

If you have, then you know exactly where <a href="http://listen.grooveshark.com/" target="_self">Grooveshark</a> stands. It&#8217;s a known fact that app approval for the iTunes store is based on a mystical set of rules that like a chameleon can change in an instant depending on the weather, the planetary alignment, hell even what the person had for breakfast, and because of this randomness, many app designers have experienced a lot of frustration. Rejections come with vague reasons, forcing some designers to reconfigure and then resubmit hoping for a better outcome.</p>
<p>Grooveshark  has submitted and has finally decided to toss in the towel and head for the darker side of things&#8230;the jailbroken iPhones. It&#8217;s a growing &#8220;black market&#8221; of sorts and Grooveshark is sure to find a thriving audience there.</p>
<p><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2010/02/26/grooveshark-iphone-app-cydia/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed:+Techcrunch+(TechCrunch)" target="_self">According to TechCrunch</a>, when the app was first tried back in 2009, not only did it work well, but it was also stated as possibly never making it through the app store qualifications, and they were right. The app will now find a home on <a href="http://cydia.saurik.com/" target="_self">Cydia</a>, giving jailbroken users a chance to use the application. If you&#8217;re not attached to the Apple regime, there&#8217;s always Android, Blackberry, and Palm that you can find the app for, and it works just fine.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So where are the best places on the net to listen to music for <a href="http://crenk.com/watch-movies-links-watch-movies-online-without-downloading-anything/" target="_blank">free without downloading anything?</a> Well we have put together this list so that everyone can find the music they want to listen to straight in their browser.</p>
<p><a href="http://grooveshark.com" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3063" title="grooveshark-logo" src="http://crenk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/grooveshark-logo.png" alt="grooveshark-logo" width="270" height="69" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://grooveshark.com" target="_blank">Grooveshark</a> &#8211; Grooveshark is a music streaming service that is currently ad supported. Grooveshark has a huge catalogue and there is no need to download any software to use their service. Unlike Spotify for example Grooveshark is straight in your browser and they have a great design to match.</p>
<p><a href="http://we7.com" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3065" title="we7-logo" src="http://crenk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/we7-logo.gif" alt="we7-logo" width="269" height="87" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://we7.com" target="_blank">We7</a> &#8211; We7 is a UK based ad supported music streaming service in which lets users stream music straight from their site. We7 has some great exclusive content from some of the major artists here in the UK and all over the world.</p>
<p><a href="http://hypem.com" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3062" title="hypem-logo" src="http://crenk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/hypem-logo.png" alt="hypem-logo" width="200" height="93" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://hypem.com" target="_blank">HypeM</a> &#8211; Hype Machine is a music blog discovery tool in which showcases some of the best free music available on the net. Hype Machine pulls together music blogs and then allows users to play the music via streaming it in their browser.</p>
<p><a href="http://audiotube.com" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3060" title="audiotube" src="http://crenk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/audiotube.png" alt="audiotube" width="290" height="53" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://audiotube.com" target="_blank">AudioTube</a> &#8211; Audiotube is basically YouTube for music videos. Audiotube allows users to easily search through their huge database and find the music videos they want to stream for free. Videos are streamed inside the browser and all videos also link to a download store in which you can purchase the music. However with the downloading they dont hook into iTunes and Amazon which they really should.</p>
<p><a href="http://muzu.tv" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3061" title="muzutv" src="http://crenk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/muzutv.png" alt="muzutv" width="172" height="54" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://muzu.tv" target="_blank">Muzu.tv</a> &#8211; Muzu.tv is very similar to Audiotube but they seem to have a bigger catalogue, but apart from that on brief glance the only difference is the colour of the websites. Muzu has a lot more sharing and playlist options compared to Audiotube, thus making it look very similar in layout to Dailymotion.

<div id="attachment_2887" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 246px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2887" title="Grooveshark Logo" src="http://crenk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/gslogo.png" alt="Grooveshark awarded CNET's Top 100 Webware Award" width="236" height="53" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Grooveshark awarded CNET&#39;s Top 100 Webware Award</p></div>
<p>the application, though it had some good aspects, I just did not feel comfortable with the entire package. It was not long after that post that officials from Grooveshark contacted me for a dialogue encouraging me to take a look at the offerings again, highlighting features I had not really seen the first time around. In the year that I&#8217;ve had with Grooveshark, I&#8217;m impressed with the continued efforts it&#8217;s making to establish itself as a viable music service for users.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cnet.com" target="_blank">CNET</a> was obviously impressed enough to award it the <em>2009 Webware Winner for Audio and Music</em>. Grooveshark has indeed come a long way and its user base has grown significantly. With this announcement comes features that again make Grooveshark heads above the rest. For starters their partnership with <a class="zem_slink" title="Ping.fm" rel="homepage" href="http://ping.fm">Ping.fm</a> to build Tinysong <a class="zem_slink" title="Application programming interface" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface">API</a>, which allows users to take the code and develop webapps that provide access to Groovesharks extensive library of music. It will be interesting to see what developers come up with as we&#8217;ve seen with various other online applications, the opening of the API makes it easy for supplementary apps to proliferate the net.</p>
<p>The second feature that was announced deals specifically with the blogging community. Grooveshark has announced that is now has a <a class="zem_slink" title="WordPress" rel="homepage" href="http://wordpress.org">WordPress</a> plugin that allows integration into blog posts for users to set up their favorite songs for specific posts. You can set up just one song, or a playlist of songs for your readers on your site. An interesting option, at the very least you could create a small station of songs on your, possibly with a widget.</p>
<p>Grooveshark is definitely expanding its platform and appeal, and it should be interesting to see how much further they go in 2009!</p>
