when a playlist is saved, somehow the name of the artist is changed to the name of the song. so, when i reload it, it just can't find the songs anymore. i'm using 0.319.

i don't know if this was suggested before. anyway, i think that'd be very useful if there were a ping tool on groovewalrus, so we can see if grooveshark is down when songs are not playing. or something like a red or green sign, don't know.

I have an audio system built into my house that uses my computer as the source, and is split throughout the house with a bunch of 1/8" headphone extension cables which are connected to computer speakers in each of the various rooms of that house that require music. I love playing Grooveshark while I'm working around the house, and would love the capability to control the player's basic features (fwd song, back song, volume up/down, etc) from the computer in my kitchen (so I don't have to walk to the downstairs back bedroom where the source music computer resides).

Is there a remote control for the Groovewalrus client that can expose itself via HTTP?

I use the Foobar HTTP plugin and used to use the WinAmp HTTP plugin for this purpose when I was playing my local music collection around the house, but I now want to upgrade to Grooveshark!

Appears this message:

What can i do?. My system is WinXP x32

The playlist issue is fixed, nice work. But for some reason only a few songs will play correctly until GW starts to switch them for completely random ones (although keeping the artist and title). Not only that, but it affects the webplayer and this too starts playing random tunes. It happened yesterday and got screwed up but I reckoned it was coincedence, until today when it occured again. My webplayer lists are totally messed up and probably wont work correctly until tomorrow. (Cache issue?) Also, the search function stops working in the web based client. My system is Win7 x64.

Hi, first I want to say thank you for this amazing cool player/alternative, I really think it's getting better in any new release, well, in previous versions I had a couple of troubles to get the songs playing, rarely I could hear one, but now it's seems to be solved for me. The thing is that now I realize that the cache folder (locate at C:\documents and settings\(user)\Application Data\groovewalrus) never stop filling till my hard drive get full... there is any way to define the higher size of the cache?

I'd love to keep using this software, but with the current problem it's too much of a hassle. Whenever I edit my playlist and save it, it makes a new copy of the playlist (named with date+time). The old one is not removable with "remove selected" button, so I only keep adding new playlists until the list gets ridiculously long. I'm using Win7 x64 bit.

Since Groovewalrus detects an error at shutdown I pasted the gw.exe.log here: http://pastebin.com/UuaKgQ2a

As a sidenote, it would be lovely to be able to listen to songs in the search window without having to add them to lists first. Not to mention the ability to skip back and forth in songs, but I'm sure that's beng worked on.

Hi,

I'm having a problem getting the tracks for Albums where the songs are from various artists. For example, the Snatch Soundtrack: If I'm listening to the first song, Klint - Diamond, then try to Get Tracks, all of them come with the same Artist. I can still use the List Sifter, but Get Tracks is just much easier.

It works great! Nice software! Thank you!

Hi! I have some problems running this new version. gw.exe.log shows:

And more messages like that. Hard-drive songs play well. Anybody knows where is the problem?
Thank you very much for your attention, and obviosly for this great software!

Hello and thanks for the new 0.213 update.
I like it but i see it's not showing&scrobbling album name.All it shows in "Album" category is the bands name and ";" (Keane;). Well, if I right-click and press "Auto-correct album" it shows the correct album, but I don't wanna click on each song and let it auto correct it. When will this problem be solved ?
Plus,where is the lyrics plugin located ? I don't see it in the plug-in tab.

Hi!
Great work indeed, I`m glad this player exists :)
I`d be happy for features like - more mini minimode [like winamp ones, few pixels height] and global keyboard shortcut or multimedia buttons even better [like on your laptop those play/stop fwd/bwd buttons]

Keep going!
