You should probably update to this version.

- Updated GS version number.
- Fixed lyrics plug-in grabbing lyrics twice.

If you're having trouble updating via the in-program updater, that is, it just sits there and doesn't update to the next version. You can try navigating to the GrooveWalrus folder you installed to (most likely c:\Program Files\GrooveWalrus) and running gw.exe from there, then update. If this happens/works for you let me know what version of Windows you're using and if your running from a desktop icon or GrooveWalrus is pinned to the taskbar.

Did a semi-major clean-up job on some important stuff, let me know if things are busted. Here's the changes in 0.303 and 0.304:

- Layout change, added Quick-Save and a new listcrtl for previewing saved playlists.
- Added Ctrl-W, quick-saves playlist to database.
- Saving, (Ctrl-S) now prompts you for a name to save the playlist as.
- Right-clicking on the saved playlists tree now displays a menu with Delete, Load, and Properties options.
- Double-clicking on a playlist from the playlist tree, loads it on to you main playlist.
- Clicking on a playlist from the playlist tree displays it on the preview table.
- Fixed pre-fetching, songs should once again pre-fetch if you have that option enabled.
- A few minor fixes to the Lyrics plug-in.
- Added threading to Lyrics plug-in, unmuddled the code slightly.
- Updated Lyrics plug-in for new CurrentSong class.
- Updated prefetch.py for new CurrentSong class.
- Fixed sorting by folders on Song Collection tab.
- Updated playback_panel.py for new CurrentSong class.
- Overhauled the PlaySong method, created CurrentSong class, things will work a little better, and you should hopefully be able to play local music without an internet connection now.
- Updated ratings_button.py for CurrentSong class.
- Updated favorites_tab.py for CurrentSong class.
- Added 'sorting arrows' on the Favorites tab.
- Added exception handling for the lyrics website in the Lyrics plug-in.
- Updated zongdora.py for CurrentSong class.
- Updated layout to include song cache options.
- Added ability to set the size of the local song cache, on the Options > Music Stream tab.
- Added pubsub message after 45 seconds of playback, will use for autoplay.

- Made deleting of local cached files a little safer.

New version is out, the Lyrics plug-in received some changes along with a few other things.

- Added a Loved Songs option to the My Last.fm tab to display the 'Loved' tracks from you, your friends, or your neighbors.
- Added PubSub to send messages to indicate a new track is playing.
- Changed up the Lyrics plug-in layout.
- Lyrics plug-in now contains a drop-down to let you select a new song lyrics if the first one returned is not correct.
- Lyrics plug-in is resize-able, and restores position and size on next load.
- Added Ctrl-R to Lyrics plug-in, resets the position if something goes wonky.
- Added KillReceiver to kill a pubsub listener on exit from Lyrics plug-in.

Say hello to a new version:

- Now saves volume level to database on exit, so it can be restored when GrooveWalrus is loaded.
- Added pop-up error message that'll hopefully spit out something if Grooveshark isn't working.
- Trying to embed the proper icon into the gw.exe, hopefully it's better, because manually inserting it sucks.
- Added more local data tracking, adds a record for each play, stop, skip, and complete play event.
- Should be able to make some neat graphs or something down the road.
- Changed layout.xml, added new items for news Saved Playlists functionality.
- Added new menu item Ctrl-S to save playlist to database.
- Added a Saved Playlists button on the Playlist tab, clicking it shows the playlists that have been saved to the database, clicking on a saved playlist loads it, clicking again allows you to rename it.
- Added a few tables to the database, one to store playlists, another to store more playback data.

Okay, here's a way to import your recent favorites/recent songs from Grooveshark into GrooveWalrus.

1. Click on the 'List Sifter' tab in GrooveWalrus.
2. Click on the 'RSS Feeds' tab on the 'List Sifter' tab.
3. Enter:
http://api.grooveshark.com/feeds/1.0/users/[YOUR GS USER NAME]/recent_favorite_songs.rss
or
http://api.grooveshark.com/feeds/1.0/users/[YOUR GS USER NAME]/recent_listens.rss
in the 'Feed URL' field.
4. Click the 'Get RSS Feed' button.
5. Select 'song' instead of 'artist' from the drop-down field.
6. Enter " - " in the 'Sep' field without the quotes.
7. Click the 'Sift List' button.
8. Click the 'Playlistize!' button.

Okay, you should update to this version. If you have version 0.217 you can try to use the actual in-program updater (I tested on Windows 7 and it seems to work), hopefully it'll work for you too. Windows XP users that use the updater might want to run GrooveWalrus in administrator mode first because I have no idea what might happen. Otherwise the usual .zip and setup.exe versions are available.
Also, if you want to clean out your image folder, album covers and biography pics are stored differently now (and will be re-saved in that folder).
