One question though, did you receive any feedback from the Music Industry so far ?" We've signed Naxos, Magnatunes and V2 music since March along with several smaller labels and individuals, and we have several more in the pipeline. In other words, the labels' response has been positive. Another thing, you don't have to be a big label to get paid for your music on Grooveshark. We're almost done with the label/artist sign up page. When that goes up, anyone with recorded, copy written music can sign up to allow Grooveshark to collect royalties from each transaction on behalf of the artist. In other words, artists don't have to wait for us to come to them, they can come to us. We did this because there are literally thousands of record labels in the U.S.. –”I forgot to mention that Grooveshark is completely DRM free.

Nathan was very helpful in answering my questions and as I can see you all seem really helpful. I forgot to mention that Grooveshark is completely DRM free. One question though, did you receive any feedback from the Music Industry so far ? Thanks James for the additional information about Grooveshark.

We've basically taken all of the best features from sites like iTunes, Limewire, iLike, last FM, MySpace, Facebook, etc., and put them all together. On top of all that, we have instituted a totally new concept of sharing the revenue for each song purchased on our true p2p network with the user the download came from. And did I mention that or songs will vary in price based on popularity? Just so everyone knows that I know what I'm talking about, I'm James Davis, Director of Public Relations for Grooveshark. To give you a timeline, we're looking at mid-August for a Beta release. That means everybody gets to come in and play. Until then, we'll be letting in people in stages just so we can sift through all the bug reports and suggestions, so please bear with us. I'd also like to take this chance to thank the crew here at Ghacks for the write-up. We really appreciate it, and we owe you one. Grooveshark is kind of like the iPhone.

As a user, you can listen to a streaming radio station of songs based on artists you've select and, I believe, artists that other users with similar interests have selected. You can listen to other users' stations as well. It works more like Pandora (http://pandora.com) than Last.fm in that respect. AFAIK, it’s not possible to download songs from Last.fm directly.

Parts of this system are not live yet which makes it difficulty to judge how it really will work out.

Aside from having its own application for streaming music rather than requiring the user to have a player that supports WMV, though, I don't see a lot of difference. Can you clarify?
