Grooveshark (and Tinyshark) on Android

For those who don't know Grooveshark, Is a the service streaming of music, which was born for the PC. Its beginnings began with a web page where, without even registering, you could access its music catalog. The web has evolved a lot, going to support HTML5, integrating social networks on the web and others. He is very popular on Twitter. to send songs, more than other media such as Spotify since you have to have the program.

The interesting thing about the matter is the Android App. Of course, the official app is in the market here

The application for our terminals is fine simple. Although we have to use it con registered account, the registration does not take more than a few minutes and an email account. We have the possibility to search for a song, an artist an album, and listen to it. If we already have an account, we will care what you have saved in our litas. All our music organized to our liking. Of course it has radio by music styles and most popular topics. There is possibility to include offline music to listen on our phone. From the application we can also modify lists, add themes, etc. I have found quite a lot of music that I like, and quite "unknown" artists. There has also been another that they do not have, although they have agreements with record companies that Spotify does not have (AC / DC or Arcade Fire to give a couple of examples). Come on, a clear rival for Spotify ... Or not?

So far there is no problem ... The problem comes when you discover that the application, despite being free, is trial, come on, the honey on your lips and then they take it away from you. Has a 15-day or 50-song limitation for you to try the service. Then you will have to subscribe (that's what they call it on the web) the service for $ 9 a month, what they call "Grooveshark Everywhere." "Spotify Premium" has a cost of € 9 per month (remember that $ 1 is € 0,74). In both cases (Spotify and Grooveshark) they have applications for Android Returns, but at least Grooveshark lets you test for 15 days if the app works fine on your phone.

Horror! Are we running out of music? No.

At market turns out we have tinyshark. Simple application like the original and free. You do not need a Grooveshark account. Although it seems that the results are somewhat scarce (from what I read in the comments of the app). Using the lists, our Grooveshark account will ask us and it will import the lists we want to add them to the queue and later reproduce them.

We no longer have an excuse to use our music in streaming.
