Nei giorni scorsi abbiamo avuto modo di parlare dei numerosi problemi che Grooveshark ha dovuto attraversare, dopo un’assenza per questioni legali durata 16 mesi, Google ha deciso di riammetterlo nel suo Play Store, ma la sua permanenza è durata solo pochi giorni, prima di sparire nuovamente per motivi misteriosi.
Gli sviluppatori del noto sito dedicato allo streaming musicale, hanno così deciso di abbandonare definitivamente i vari marketplace (Play Store e App Store), mettendo a punto una web app in HTML5 accessibile mediante web browser da tutti i device.
Come annunciato, da oggi sarà possibile ascoltare gratuitamente oltre 15 milioni di brani in streaming, senza nessun vincolo e senza i fastidiosi limiti dovuti al Flash Player. Ecco il comunicato stampa:
