I used to work at Grooveshark back in the day designing and building ads and themes for the site… Boy, did miss the culture and product and community sometimes

Grooveshark was the source of playlists for me, much better than the inferior fratmusic
Heard of FunkWhale? The open source, federated audio platform?
https://funkwhale.audio/
I hope that it gets to be as good abd popular as GrooveShark was.also !funkwhale
I was heartbroken when Grooveshark went away. I’d built up so much music and there was a lot of obscure stuff I’ve never found again.
agreed - lost a major discovery engine when it shut down
I used the fuck out of Grooveshark. It was a great platform.
I also used the old version of 8tracks.com when it was awesome, but it died a long time ago and has been replaced with a corpse of its former self
It was a pretty cool music platform. I was sorry to see it go but given the circumstances there wasn’t much choice. It’s a pity, it could have probably transitioned into a legit music service. The interface was nice and it had some unique features.
From what I remember the thing that sunk it (when it was inevitably sued) was the fact the boss had made all the employees share mp3’s to help the platform take off.
I know it’s not exactly the same, but take a look at https://funkwhale.audio/. A bit like grooveshark for the Fediverse. Maybe this could ease the heartbreak a bit?
https://lemmy.world/u/testman@lemmy.ml also mentioned this and im suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper curious - will def dive deep into this one - thank you thank you thank you for sharing!
Happy to help! Please let us know what you think about it after your deep dive.
Love to browse pods for obscure (mostly electronic) music and the community is very warm and welcoming in my experience.
I have yet to finda podcast that captivates me.Would love to hear your opinion (and maybe some gems you found) on #Funkwhale !
Haven’t heard of it before, looks cool though!
it was spotify, before spotify. one of the first HTML5 audio player services with a business model closer to youtube than most other streaming services
