[Pre-Release] Grooveshark client - maemo.org

Dotblank · #1 2010-05-17, 01:41

UPDATE: Package can be installed from extras devel
UPDATE2: New version with .desktop file, basic playlist support and download progress bars.
UPDATE3: New GUI and some bugfixes.

I have been very busy recently and sorry this update took so long! Also some of the buttons have yet to be implemented

I would like to announce a groove shark client for the n900. If you are not familiar with groove shark take a look at http://listen.gooveshark.com.

I currently have a working prototype. It can search and play songs on groove shark.

This is my very first (GUI) program that I have made and I am using this project as a way to learn C++ and Qt4.

This program depends on libqjson and the latest pr1.2 libqt4 with phonon.

There are still some bugs (playback while downloading, it works great with download then play EDIT: Streaming now works) and after I fix some and clean up the code I might release it.

The source also builds against ubuntu 10.04.

Edit:
The project has now been uploaded to extras-devel. Please note a lot of features are still missing, This is due to a rewrite of how the device handles the future playlist support.

You can install the program by:

Code:

apt-get install groove

Edit:
You can now install this application through the app manager.

Looking good indeed! Would be a very useful application for me and a lot of other people!

Keep up the good work

thats cool. It could be more stable than the spotify clients that allways break over one of the almost daily spotify upgrades!

still amazed at how well grooveshark plays in Microb

I cant get grooveshark to work on my phone, takes ages to load and when it finally does searching or playing music doesn't work.

Reason why I'd love to get my hands on this app!

I would pay for this application if you would release a stable build. I love Grooveshark!

Keep up the good work, mate!

How are you rolling on this baby?

Pretoriano · #8 2010-05-21, 10:40

will we need a "premium" account in grooveshark?

Trestry · #9 2010-06-04, 15:54

Are you making some progress with the developing of this great app/idea?
