On: The New Grooveshark

Too bad they can't get their iOS app through the apple approval process. It would be a serious contender to Spotify.

I am pretty sure that they can't get the approval from Apple because they cannot prove that they have the rights to publish the content.

Indeed, i'm not saying apple is unfair but it's just a pity we don't have a native ios app, despite the legal affairs of grooveshark. There is a cydia version though :)

Their webpage for iOS devices is actually serviceable.

I primarily use Grooveshark to find tunes I can't find on Youtube, Spotify, Amazon, or iTunes (I listen to a lot of import Jazz and 60s French pop.) For the dozen times a year I fire it up on my iOS device, it performs well.

They would have a significant financial advantage over Spotify, who pay a large sum to licence the music they carry.

Weren't they also yanked from the Google Play store?
