There was this brilliant playlist maker called Caleb, way back when. His taste in music was chef’s kiss and I miss him! I still have a playlist with his name on it. I’d love to know what he listens to now, and I wish I could tell him how appreciated he was. It was mostly alternative Indie stuff, and he was such a staple of that era for me.

Does anyone else remember him?

are there any crawls of grooveshark on the wayback machine that have the homepage visible? i'm trying to figure out exactly what years i used it by the ui appearance. i remember it with the drag and drop now playing on the bottom, and the playlists and community on the right sidebar. sadly, a lot of the crawls are defunct.

Hello everybody, 

Many years ago, I loved spending time listening to music on Grooveshark, which had almost perfect recommendations 90% of the time. Unfortunately, the service was shut down, and, funny enough, my very first post on Reddit was about the death of Josh Greenberg: Grooveshark Co-founder Found Dead at 28.

Since then, I've tried many different music services, including YouTube Music, Spotify, Pandora, and others. None of them have worked nearly as well as Grooveshark, especially in terms of library completeness and recommendations. It's quite difficult to find the obscure music I enjoy on any of these services. What annoys me the most is how these platforms start pushing "popular" songs as soon as you stop paying attention, turning into promotion platforms rather than recommendation services.

Ever since Grooveshark closed, I've been searching for a solution to fill this void. Eventually, I realized that the only way it could work is if the streaming service is hosted on the user's PC and plays their own music, just like in the good old days. However, I don't want to simply play songs randomly, I want the music to be recommended based on how much I like each song, similar to what recommendation services do. Therefore, I need a recommendation service that works locally.

I tried to find something similar already built, but I had no luck. There are self-hosted streaming services, but none of them provide any sort of recommendation engine. So, about six months ago, I started developing such a service myself. The main idea is to give users a new way of filtering their own data by using AI to learn what types of data are important to them and to what extent.

One of the main differences between Grooveshark and many other music recommendation services was that Grooveshark didn't use metadata as the basis for its recommendations. Instead, it used sonic analysis, which allowed for much more personalized recommendations. Anagnorisis works in a similar fashion but uses machine learning models to extract embeddings of the music and trains your personal model to estimate how much you would like a song based on your previous ratings. 

And It is not only about the music. What I really wish to happen is to have a system that could work with any data on your behalf,  and be able to rate sort it as if it was you. Local AI that could help you navigate a wasteful amount of information without any intermediates that can control it. So I plan to implement vector search to, for example,  find music similar to what you want to listen to right now and add many more types of data: text, images, videos and so on.

Anagnorisis is fully open-source and allows you to run it locally. I suspect there are still some people that might be interested in a project like this and maybe even provide some feedback.

Here is the project on GitHub: Anagnorisis

And here are articles I wrote about the ideas behind the project in more detail:
Anagnorisis. Part 1: A Vision for Better Information Management.
Anagnorisis. Part 2: The Music Recommendation Algorithm.

Anyone remember the name of the tool that was like a JavaScript plugin/extension that let you host a live playlist and add songs to it via text message.

I remember this being a cool tool back in the day for like a collaborative party playlist where people could just text the song they want to hear and it would be added to the que of playing songs.

So, I have to know, is this some scam? A revival with honest intentions? Something that'll be copyright struck into oblivion this time next week? It seems pretty good from what I've seen! Very reminiscent of how I remember Grooveshark, but with some 2020s visual design. No matter what I've searched, it seems to be there. Anyone know if this is going to steal my data and email or whatever?

Hey everyone -- I'm trying to get in touch with my previous listeners and I'm not sure how to do that. I'm back in the music game, and I'm working on something really cool with my software developer partner (a radio app that is similar to our beloved GS). Please comment/message me on here or Facebook. I'm also on Spotify. My username is Domoslayer everywhere.

Hi there,

Back in the grooveshark days, I created the "GSBOT", which grew in popularity and ended up being used by the most popular broadcasts.

Since I was missing this feature, I made a website using the spotify api (it does require a spotify premium subscription) which essentially does the same as what grooveshark offered back then.

Feel free to check it out!

...and, if you try to change it, the system tells you that you've entered the wrong password - even if you can log-in and log-out with it. On neither that or the Groovesharks.io are you allowed to change your email, either. So, it's time to make sure all of your valuable accounts with that email address and password combo are changed, pronto.

I don't know why I didn't think of trying to do this years ago. Sometimes, I'm really fucking dumb. I miss my playlists so much; they were so good. :(

Does someone know how to recover my old Playlist, the interesting part is I used to listen music in this platform.

So I was playing lol and the music suddenly stopped I got a little bit confused but I didn't care at all, I refresh the page and boom, that was the last day I saw how my master piece Playlist used to be.

Thought some people might appreciate my mini labour of love, Deezer reskinned to look like Grooveshark circa 2015.

Always knew Youtube would get its music platform, it always had the biggest music library. All the same, I spent days making 1000+ track ordered playlists. These playlists are too daunting to replace now, I don't have the time.
I think my last username was "喝喝HoboG橘子汁師傅 "

Miss those playlists! lost and gone forever.

how the fuck does grooveshark get murdered but youtube...

honestly i think google is behind it because grooveshark was a competitor.

it's shady.

grooveshark gets shut down -- threatened with lawsuits, right?

but large corporate websites like youtube, spotify, etc. get to let record companies make licensing complaints against specific songs

i can't imagine grooveshark seriously chose not to implement something some feature like that -- it is seemed apparent / implied that grooveshark was forcibly shut down through legal action.

groove shark was one of the best websites ever, not to mention the websites that died / got killed.

i created a playlist on grooveshark that i really loved but can no longer access, and am wondering if some hero out there downloaded a ton of playlists from grooveshark's backend API and might have the text data stored somewhere.

i remember the playlist's name in case that's helpful!

Check out JQBX! It lets you create a virtual room and listen in sync w/ everyone on there. You can also vote and save tracks for later. Hooks seamlessly into your Spotify account to play audio.

My boyfriend lost his beloved, iconic Grooveshark T-shirt a few months ago and now talks about how much he misses it on pretty much a daily basis. Now, with Christmas approaching I was hoping you guys could help me score a ton of points and find out where I could buy such a shirt. Any ideas, hints or even someone willing to sell would be tremendously appreciated! -Thanks!

There was a mix on Grooveshark that was about 45min - 1 hour long that I used to listen to over and over. The title I think was something including Nobody presents Blank Blue. I have been able to find 4 songs that were on the mix but without transitions of course, and nothing else. I don't know if it was from a podcast or what. I've exhausted the internet looking for it, given up and tried again several times. Is there any way to find someone with access to the old database of Grooveshark music and hunt down what it was even called???

It seems I just barely missed being able to use audiosplitter. Is there any other way?

Being a long time Grooveshark user and trying everything without success I have finally found a community which I figured I would share. A website called Dubtrack.fm that allows you to create a room, browse rooms, and invite your friends to listen to the same music. You all have the ability to play music, there is admins, managers, and listener roles as well. The site uses youtube and soundcloud. The closest thing with the social aspects to grooveshark that I have been able to find. I guess it would be comparable to plug.dj without the (in my opinion) silly avatars and such. It's not for everyone but give it a try! They're new and still working on getting all the kinks out still. All support for problems is immediate through their Discord. Hope someone out there can find it a new home as I did. Nothing will replace Grooveshark but this is close.

i'm not affiliated with the site, i just found it a while ago and wanted to tell you how great it is. it sources music from youtube, netease, soundcloud and justhear!t. and best of all it's free.
