    Does anyone use this? I downloaded the app the other night, but you have to be a VIP Grooveshark user in order to use the app - but i don't want to sign up to Grooveshark without seeing if the app works first!

    Does it work? Is it any good?

    I have it a while now, and think its great. It works very well. It has the following issues.

    1. Crashes occasionaly (rare).
    2. 'Make available offline' feature does not work when app is restarted - will be fixed in new release apparantley.
    3. The odd song (very rare) is not playable on mobile (due to some encoding issues, which is also due to be ironed out apparantley.)

    I think its great value (less than €3 per month) especially if they keep improving the app.

    only thing with grooveshark is that it's of questionable legaility as the site has hardly any rights (bar EMI and some other smaller record labels) to any of the music it streams and could be shut down. I use spotify instead, great little app. A lot more expensive I know, but at least some of the money goes to the artist..
