How can I create a grooveshark widget or embed a song with an external player?


Is it possible to create or use an existing web-player to play grooveshark songs? Actually there are only two widgets, one for single songs and other for playlists. Would it be possible to use any other player?


Solution

  • No. They provide their own api for embedding into other applications/web pages. Only their api will understand what the backend file fetch location resolves to and they have a security to allow only their api to access the file location.

    It is possible to write/use your own jukebox only if you were able to crack the permalink of the song that is obtained from the server... which is practically not feasible.

    Grooveshark provides a nice widget. You can use it. If you want more customizations, do it on your webapp and modify the surroundings..
