It seems like they refuse to pay GEMA fees.

They stopped service on April 30, 2015 without warning. It was due to copyright issues. So very sad.

Check out Plug.dj icon Plug.dj as a great alternative to Grooveshark

Well, Grooveshark just died today... That was unexpected. I loved it. Do we have to all go with Spotify icon Spotify now ?

The app wouldn't let me play any music without getting a premium account. Hence I access it on my phone via the browser.That's all.

Absolutely love Grooveshark. In fact, it's open right now (Woohoo, Queen!). I always recommend this to my friends, since it lets you play pretty much anything. Also, though Grooveshark's subscription fee was raised, it has remained the same for users who have been members since before it was raised.

Grooveshark has raised their monthly subscription fee from $3.00 a month to $9.00 a month. Blehhhh. Of course, paying for Grooveshark is optional.
