Grooveshark updated it’s online web player today with a few bug fixes. They also announced on their blog that “they are working on some serious behind-the-scenes magic right now and we’ll be thrilled to deliver some exciting new changes to you in the near future.”

Below are just a few of the bug’s fixed by todays update

  • If you’re stuck on IE7, we fixed the bug that prevented you from connecting to Facebook.
  • Likewise, we fixed a problem some Firefox users were having with Facebook locking up.
  • We should now be displaying the correct number of ‘points earned’ for failed surveys instead of confusing you with the number of points the survey was worth, regardless of what you earned.
  • We fixed a long-standing frustrator by making the hover state for loop, shuffle, and crossfade look the same as the ‘on’ state.
  • We fixed the weird formatting bug that made our emails look like they were sent by a teletype.

With the recent U.S. Launch of Spotify I expect competing services like Grooveshark to start stepping up their game. We will be looking forward to these new changes.

The FCC’s Technology Experience Center at the agency’s headquarters in Washington, D.C.  is an innovative resource for all FCC employees and visitors to engage directly with the latest technologies, which the agency accepts as donations.  Each month, the TEC will focus a portion of the technologies around a specific theme.

Congratulations to Grooveshark for being a part of the grand opening! Love that a Jailbroken iPod Touch will be featured at the FCC’s TEC.
