Grooveshark Desktop - Version 1

[Source]

Hey everyone, this is just a quick release that was a nice little 30 minute project I did this afternoon.I made it because I got increasingly annoyed when I kept closing down listen.grooveshark.com accidentally as I closed my browser - thus stopping my music playback.

For those who don't know, grooveshark is a music listening and discovery program made in flex... and is incredible. The interface is based greatly on apple's designs (including some nifty animations) and makes the experience great.

I must point out I did not make the grooveshark original application, I just ported it so it can be ran on its own, as a desktop application. I find it handy as it makes life that little less irratating (so you don't have to worry about accidently closing the tab ^_^).

Glad you all like, im going to be making a more advanced version which will grab callbacks from the flash file (basically means I should be able to integrate it into socialsigr for release). I might also make it support multiple webapps, like last.fm or something (although they already have one they made).

It would be nice if it could pipe all the recently listened to songs to SocialSigr.

Caleb said he has been discussing a few ways of integrating SocialSigr with Grooveshark, as they do aggragate all the listening information.. and it should be coming up soon on the user profiles.

Ah sweet josh, I'll have to discuss that with him on msn later.

Any suggestions for other ports (of web apps)?
