Welcome to Grooveshark Lite!
April 15th, 2008
Grooveshark Lite is now officially live.
Grooveshark Lite takes all the long-tail P2P musical goodness of Grooveshark.com and distills it in a handy quick interface to find and listen to whatever you want. Unlike the main Grooveshark site, you don’t have to have an account or install our Sharkbyte client in order to listen to music. However, signing up for an account (it’s super easy!) allows you to save playlists, and your login will work for both Lite and the main Grooveshark site.
We’re hoping that you’ll find Grooveshark Lite to be the easiest way to listen to whatever you can think of.
We have tons of things planned that didn’t quite make it into this iteration, so keep an eye out for exciting new features over the next few weeks. And if you have any comments, suggestions, ideas, wishlists, problems, or just want to say hi, drop us an email at feedback@grooveshark.com. Or you can leave me a comment here and I’ll do my best to answer you personally.
We just upgraded a few other systems at the same time, so if things are a little shaky, just give us a little time and things ought to smooth out.
I’d love to talk more about Grooveshark Lite, but I’ve been here at the office for over 18 hours straight now, trying to make sure my baby gets off the ground right, so I’m not entirely lucid anymore.
Enjoy the music!

Katy,
Congrats on your hard work. It’s funny that you mention this as your baby, last night I kept referring it as the eve of our birth, how appropriate.
All of your hard work is paying off, as thousands of young Chileans skipped school just for the GS Lite launch, I kid you not!!!!
Here’s to the future. I hope you sleep really well

I sent an e-mail to the address you listed, but have yet to recieve a response.
I’ve really enjoyed Grooveshark lite and would love to create an account. But when I try to sign up for one, I keep getting a vague error message. But, it doesn’t tell me what to fix. Thus, I can’t create an account.
Are their specific length or character requirements for the username or password? Have you had other people with this problem?
Thanks.

Hey Stephanie,
Are you using IE6 when you go to signup?
We just found a bug today with IE6 and HTTPS. Both logging in and creating an account go over https, but normal calls don’t. Thus, everything works fine until you try to log in or register.
We’re in the midst of fixing it right now, but in the meantime, try using Firefox/Opera/anything other than IE and see if that works.
Let me know how it goes, and I’m glad to hear that you’re enjoying GSLite!
