First I wanted to point out this extensions rocks.
Never the less, I encountered a small bug:
When you set up : Groove Shredder Options > Download Settings > Create a sub Directory using : "Artist" and
If the artiste name contains a accent like : "Röyksopp" or "Noir désir", the plug in does neither create the directory nor fires the download.
Grooveshark recently released the preview of their next version, available at: http://preview.grooveshark.com (you might need premium to access it).
Atm Groove-Shredder does not work with this new version, which is of course to be expected. Just letting you know in case you do not have premium and was not notified about the preview version.
When you have a playlist going and the song finished, grooveshark plays the next song but shredder does not pick up on this, it seems to only record on a manual skip.
I just wrote a blog post about how to use this app to download music from Grooveshark on Firefox. http://createblogone.blogspot.com/2013/12/downloading-from-grooveshark.html The app is broken in multiple ways so you can check out the post to see what is necessary to make it work. Anyway thanks alot for this software. When I get some time (and get better at coding) I'd like to look at the source code.
When you choose to have Groove Shredder create a sub-directory of the song's artist, but the artist(s) has a " / " in their name (such as if more than one artist was part of the song), then the sub-directory will not create and the song will not download. I tested this theory by disabling the sub-directory creation option and then trying to download the song, and I was able to successfully download it.
EDIT: Either that or it was because the artist was KoЯn, and Groove Shredder is not able to process the backwards R. I realized that 30 seconds after I posted this. :)
After selecting and downloading a song, even after unselecting it, it remains selected according to Groove-Shredder, and it downloads every song ever selected every time any song is downloaded.
For "educational purposes only" I would like to know if someone could violate local copyright restrictions without even getting noticed. As far as I have seen the Add-on basicly multiplies the song-requests and then missuses them - right?
Do you have any idea if "real" requests can be distinguished from the "false" ones? And if so, do you know of any attempts by grooveshark to stop this violation of their terms of use?
