  • Why should I create an account?

    The main benefit of creating a Grooveshark account is the ability to save your favorite songs. Grooveshark will remember every song you add to your Library, Playlists or Favorites. All of your music will be available any time you are at a computer with an internet connection or, if you're a Grooveshark Anywhere subscriber, your music can go anywhere your phone goes.

  • What is the difference between My Music, Favorites, and Playlists?

    My Music is your personal music library on Grooveshark, composed of the songs you have chosen to collect and curate. Favorites is a collection within My Music consisting of songs you especially like (and have "hearted"), and Playlists are separate lists of songs you have organized for quick playback.

    Embedding a Grooveshark Widget on WordPress

    First, find the song or songs you'd like to embed on your blog, then choose Share Song:
     

    Share Option

     

    From the Share menu, select More and then Create Widget. Click 'Copy to Clipboard' and the entire HTML code will be added to your clipboard:
     

     Song Widget Menu

     

    Then, go to WordPress or any other text editing program and paste the widget code. You'll need to trim some of this code. The essential part of the code is the orange text and the highlighted width and height:

     

    <object width="250" height="40" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="gsSong3315361833" name="gsSong3315361833"><param name="movie" value="http://grooveshark.com/songWidget.swf" /><param name="wmode" value="window" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="flashvars" value="hostname=cowbell.grooveshark.com&songIDs=33153618&style=metal&p=0" /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://grooveshark.com/songWidget.swf" width="250" height="40"><param name="wmode" value="window" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="flashvars" value="hostname=cowbell.grooveshark.com&songIDs=33153618&style=metal&p=0" /><span>The Confessor by <a href="http://grooveshark.com/artist/Quiet+Company/332795" title="Quiet Company">Quiet Company</a> on Grooveshark</span></object></object>

     


    The last step is the most important: click over to the HTML editor. Once there, paste the code shown below, replace the xxxx with the orange text, and the width and height from your widget code. Depending on whether you're embedding one song or multiple songs in your widget, you need to choose one code from the following two.
     
    Single song widget look here:

    [gigya src="http://grooveshark.com/songWidget.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="250" height="40" flashvars="xxxx" allowScriptAccess="always" wmode="window"] 

    or multiple songs...

    [gigya src="http://grooveshark.com/widget.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="250" height="40" flashvars="xxxx" allowScriptAccess="always" wmode="window"] 

    Now update your blog and enjoy your Grooveshark Widget.
     
    If you're still having problems with the widget, please check your code in the editor and make sure that no DIV or PRE tags are located in your widget code. If you're still having trouble, please contact Grooveshark Support at support@grooveshark.com.
