This application does work without a premium subscription and without logging in.
Please note this client is unofficial and using can get your ip banned from groove-shark, although it hasn't happened to me yet.
It is also currently available in ubuntu 10.04 in my ppa
https://launchpad.net/~eliaswoods/+archive/groove
I also have a garage page set up for the project as well
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/groove/
I am still developing this application and I will have an update soon hopefully with radio and playlist support
There are a couple of bugs that I can't seem to get around and they are mostly caused by phonon. I am contemplating using the qtmobility multimedia library instead but I'm not too sure how that will affect desktop performance.
Note: Searching by songs currently work, others like artist and album do not.
I am also doing field tests and found my buffering algorithm is inadequate on cellular networks. Also the bandwidth requirement may be too great for mobile use however I may develop a groove-shark proxy client that would run on your home desktop to reduce the network bandwidth.
I am very new to Qt development and even C++ so don't expect my source code to follow any sort of rhyme or reason.
