Grooveshark for the Iphone
This should be a decent post for once. Lately I have been using Grooveshark on my PC because it’s a kick ass free streaming music site. I just recently noticed that it has an Iphone App. The only catch is you need to have a Jailbroken Iphone. If you do you can find this App in Cydia.
Now you will only have a small trial period (50 songs I believe), but to avoid this and be able to save the songs for later listening, follow the below guide. Also when he states to change the number, just make sure you increment the number. You can also do all this with Ifile from Cydia, no need to SSH. I may write my own guide using Ifile.
*UPDATE*
Kevin’s Guide
Requirements:
1 – Ifile from Cydia
2 – Grooveshark from Cydia
3 – Sign up for a Free Grooveshark Account
4 – This Guide will only be useful if you have a Jailbroken Iphone
5 – Not needed, but I find having Backgrounder makes this TONS easier
Keeping the “Trial” going Forever:
If your Trial happens to expire, simply open up Ifile and edit the following number in the file listed below. You will simply be choosing a bigger number, just increment the number. Make sure Grooveshark is closed and you should be back up and running. File Path = “/var/mobile/Library/Grooveshark/userInfo.plist”
Saving your Music:
Start by opening Grooveshark and searching for a file to play, there are a couple things you can do here. If you play the file it will save the file in “/var/tmp/temp.mp3″ once it has finished streaming the file. You can also click the arrow to the right of the File and choose the option to save for Offline play, this will ensure it’s downloaded. Once Downloaded you will notice a Green Arrow indicating it has been downloaded. So the rule for this is, Play the File and make sure it’s been completely Downloaded. You can then Background Grooveshark and load up Ifile, Copy the temp.mp3 file to another Directory and Rename the file. The Pictures below should demonstrate what I mean. Once moved to the Directory of your choice you can Zip the files in Ifile and send them to your computer using the Wifi Transfer. Also creating Bookmarks in Ifile might make going between Folders Much easier.
Hope this helps a bit, you can always use the other guide if mine is horrible
On a Side note it is an extremely good idea to get your SHSH Blobs for 4.0.1 FW for the Iphone as I believe there will be a jailbreak really soon. Apple has already stopped signing for 4.0, but Comex has stated that 4.0.1 is just fine.
Iphone FW can be Download Here
Use Umbrella to get your SHSH Blobs, even if you aren’t using 4.0.1 you can still backup your SHSH Blobs if you have your ECID
