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

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
Grooveshark was the source of playlists for me, much better than the inferior fratmusic
Site was awesome. you could find music that wasnt available anywhere else at the time. It was almost my only source for online music until it died.
Loved it! Even remember having a Grooveshark t-shirt at one point. I migrated to Google Music and then eventually Spotify after Google effectively ruined that.
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 !
