Scripps Employees Called 'Hackers' For Exposing Massive Security Flaw
A look at Grooveshark's massive HTML5 makeover
Grooveshark is somewhat of a house favorite here at Downloadsquad. It's one of the few music sites which isn't georestricted, which means Sebastian, Erez, Vlad, Sam and I can all enjoy the same music as our teammates in the U.S. This morning, I woke up to find a completely overhauled Grooveshark interface and there's one change which trumps all the visual tinkering: it's not built with Flash. The interface, at least, is pure HTML5 -- actual audio playback is still handled by the Flash plug-in.
This is Grooveshark's second big overhaul in three months. Erez walked you through the previous update back in September, and pretty much everything has now been changed. Take the jump to see more of the new Grooveshark at work!

Too bad for something supposedly HTML5, they support IE8 and IE7, but they don't support IE9?
I saw the prompt that my browser wasn't supported, but I continued anyway, and tried to login but it wouldn't work. Anyway, I don't get how something that's suppose to be HTML5 doesn't work with IE9.

I dream of the day that Flash fades to obscurity.

It's using a xhtml strict doctype. would it still be appropriate to call it an html5 app? just wondering...

@war59312 I just want things to work. Period. Flash or no Flash.

@Jeff Hesser
Yep I forgot to sign up before December, now it's not worth the price...

It's good with changes, but honestly... use Snoost. :-) I don't want to "pay" to use a free music streaming service, or get ads or anything else. In my opinion, there are better alternatives.

Did you miss the bit where I mentioned that it delivers audio with the Flash plug-in?
