So, here it is:

http://www.scilor.com/groovemobile.html

Alpha v9(2010-04-22)

-Enhancement: Better debug on token exceptions.

-Fix: grooveshark(tm).com started to ask for a cookie...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
Thanks to you sir.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
V9 is working better than ever.

A question... is there a way to display the size of the audio files in search results? If you could display it, then when there are duplicate songs on Grooveshark, the user could choose to play the smaller sized songs to save on bandwidth or if dowload speed is a problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] snowblindd:
....i think nanogroove has just been ... owned :)) 10* keep it up !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
I agree completely!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I may add this later, when there is a new GUI available :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi scilor,

yes you must have also a co0kie :D. Here is one..more download from me :eek:.

i must install

i must install

i must install

..

..

oh yes

i must skin

i must skin

*lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Ok, currently grooveshark(tm) seems to be down... And because of that and a missing check SciLor's GrooveMobile crashes on startup.... I have already fixed that and will come in the next version.

Edit: Ok it is there again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Yes i have seen this three times on my phone ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tuscolavol:
Just installed the latest version and got the error attached. By the way, I re-set, deleted and re-installed. Still get this error. Any help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Mhh, when this error happens exactly? Did you just deinstalled or you really deleted all files from the SciLor's GrooveMobile folder?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tuscolavol:
Well... I didn't delete the folder in Program Files.

Just did it again, deleted the software, then deleted the folder, soft reset, reinstalled Groove Mobile, soft reset and got the same error message.

Thanks for the quick response.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] meromero0526:
What i did was download the mirror file and that

was it i kept getting unsupported file messages before. Try that!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
http://www.scilor.com/groovemobile.html

Is giving an internal Server error.

If someone can upload a mirror to a post as attachment, i can post it to first Post so Scilor can then remove it when the mirror isn't needed any more.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
The site was down a while mhh? Try again :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
Gehehe, it's up again indeed.

I found i had the wrong Grooveshark client (GrooveFish)

So i came back to get the right one (Scilor's).

It was all for selfish reasons ;)

Will you jump to The Android Wagon in the future?

(again pure selfish reasons for asking)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I will not go Android, just because I have any experience with Linux coding :(

But I will try to increase the GrooveMobile experience in the future :) I will have some time after my big class tests this week. I already thought about a lovely Manilla Slider :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
I dont mean to ask again :P but do you think v10 will have any new features or is cacheing ready to launch as a beta?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Nope... I am currently finishing my schooltime, test over test.

Gimme some time, I will bring you updates, including a fresh new GUI :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
slick lol I just think of that other sites gui, I think you can make yours more hard ass looking :D, mabie you can redo your site and find some hard ass rapper or TI song to show how much credit you got :) lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
So much to do and so less time:

-Rebuild SciLor's GrooveMobile

-Rebuild SciLor's grooveshark(tm).com Downloader

-Finish SciLor's WiMoBlue v2 including its plugin system

-Finish the New menu for the Website

-Enhance SciLor's GSensor Control

etc.......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joe_coolish:
Hey good luck with school! I know how it can be balancing school, work, and projects all at the same time. I just finished for the semester last week! What a great feeling :)

Can't wait to see the updates! This is one of the most used cabs on my HD2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
I've noticed that the program crashes Windows Mobile sometimes if the data connection is interrupted. Is there a way for the program to just wait for the data connection to come back on before attempting to play the next song?

Also, when it gives the "Failed to Start Song" error, can you have it just skip to the next song in the playlist instead of stopping playback?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
This problem I will try to fix the crash, but more I cannot do :D

"Failed to Start Song" It is possible yes and easy, I think I will make an update soon to fix all problems that I found recently and an option for skip song.

I hope thats enough for then, to start a new codebase
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Here it is, a fixed version of SciLor's GrooveMobile :). Got much to do...

Alpha v10(2010-04-29)

-Fix: Crash on missing internet connection on startup(Moved the cookie grabbing to just in time)!

-Fix: Some big changes on grooveshark(tm).com to lock us out ;)

-Removed: Support for loading old playlists in 'jso' format. (The convert routine was corrupted, so all playlists converted were empty... stupid SciLor, but therefore it is an alpha)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Does Grooveshark keep changing things just to attempt to stop programs like this from accessing their music?

Why wouldn't they just provide their own WinMo version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
exactly, they always did.

I do not know why they are not releasing a WinMo client, but anyways for that you will need a VIP-Grooveshark account... That means pay money!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dishe:
Exactly. After a brief stint with Android, one of the things I missed about WM is unlimited Grooveshark streaming without a VIP membership!

Scilor- LOCAL PLAYLISTS!? AMAZING!!

I've been saying this I first tried the old GrooveFish app! I even bugged the NanoGroove team about adding it as a feature... man, I'm SO happy someone did this!

Only 2 suggestions I still have:

1. Can the "check for new update" function also download the update for us? Or at the very least link to a browser with the download page (instead of just saying an update is out there)? Since Grooveshark keeps changing things, it'd be great to make this procedure more automatic each time it happens!

2. This one might be a little harder to implement, but- can we make this A2DP compatible?? I use my car's stereo controls to remotely control WMP, and I'd love an "all in one" player like this that can take its place. I know that the stack is hard to access on more modern devices like the Rhodium, but worth a try suggesting?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bob_bipbip:
i've got a strange bug. the music i listen is not what i've searched. for exemple, i searched for fear factory - replica, and i here a piano song.

i didn't know that rock metal band was making piano lol.

funny
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Do you try it over wifi or phone data? Try it vice versa. This may help

1. I will enhance the update function in that way, that it opens the browser.

2. I havn't found any documentation about it, feel free to post everything that may help

ENJOY!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
Hey SciLor,

Is there anyway to implement an easier way to go through the playlists?? I have about 200 songs on one and it takes forever to scroll to the bottom if I wanna play a song at the end.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Why not make separate playlists?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
If I have my new interface ready, it will be easier :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
Because I would have to re-search for every song and it would take forever.

Nice!!! Any ETA on that?? If not, don't worry I'm still loving the old interface anyway.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I am thinking about a manilla slider at the bottom, different pages, somehow skinnable with xml. Only ideas there, nothing more xD
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
That sounds amazing!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] browncg:
If you are just trying to break your playlist up into smaller playlists, you could manually edit the playlists. They are stored under \Program Files\SciLor's GrooveMobile\Playlists\*.gmp. You can open them in Notepad or Word. There isn't a lot of whitespace, but after you stare at the file for a few minutes, you can see how it is delimited. The overall list is enclosed in Brackets ([]). Each song is enclosed in braces ({}).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
Thanks for the info!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
It is in the JSON format, you may find editor for it.

I will change it to xml if I find time, latest on the new UI
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bob_bipbip:
i cannot, because my phone is not able to use my 3g sim card. i only use my blue angel on wifi
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
please try nanoGroove and the grooveshark website!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joe_coolish:
nanoGroove? What is the difference (other than the $5) than GrooveMobile and nanoGroove?

Also, I think playlists in XML would be a great idea! Once I have some more free time, I'm going to do some work with XML apps for the phone (Currently HALO Reach Beta is consuming all my free time :D)

I've really enjoyed your app btw. I use it all the time! Is there a time frame for the new UI? Is it a new UI or a completely new User Experience (UX)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
There will be a new UX :D. There is no time plan, I will do when I do. What makes me the most fun, due to I have some other big interesting projects I want to make ready :D. Hope so that GrooveMobile will be the first :P

Continue enjoying :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lciaccia:
I crashed the program

Unfortunately, I did something stupid. While listening to GrooveMobile, I opened Opera. GrooveMobile immediately crashed and disappeared.

When I tried to restart it, I get an error message:

An unexpected error has occurred, select Quit and then restart.

Unclosed quoted property. Expected: ". Line 1, position 4096

When I hit quit and restart, the same error comes up.

I've restarted the phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the program, and every time I get the same error. There must be some other setting or file that remains after uninstall I'm assuming.

Do you have any other suggestions of how I can get GrooveMobile running again? I love this program!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joe_coolish:
So, The past couple of days GrooveMobile has been stopping on "Request Stream Key" for a few of the songs in my playlists and won't go on from there. Today every song I tried didn't work.

The Debug log says:

Get Stream Key Error: An error message is available for this exception but cannot be displayed because these messages are optional and are not currently installed on this device...

Repeated every 2 or 3 seconds.

I loaded up the trial version of nanoGroove and it played (for 5 mins atleast) so I have a connection. Is there a setting that I'm missing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kptkill:
TY

Scilor, thanks for your work on this program. I use it almost every day during my commute.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phenomenon:
Will album cover and saving the actual MP3 file itself onto the device EVER be supported?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Try to delete the directory of SciLor's GrooveMobile. Deinstallation does not delete the cfg files otherwise you would lose it every update

You may got some broken songs?! Or grooveshark(tm).com changed something, I will investigate it.

UPDATE: if I search for "ramm" for ex. the first songs do not work, but the 4th one (Scanners) does. The same on groovesharks website :/

You are welcome

Indeed it will!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wardh:
Thanks for this great software!

I'm getting a strange error as of lately, if I search for say "scooter - fire". It comes up but when I start playing the song it's a different song. It happens on all the song I have tried.

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Please try it with nanoGroove, if it works I may fix it, if not, you may also try the grooveshark(tm) website :/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
So what does it mean if it works with nanoGroove but not Scilor's GrooveMobile (just out of pure curiosity)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
It means that I can fix it, if other tools do that, I can also fix it :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joe_coolish:
Confirmed that listen.grooveshark.com works, nanoGroove works, GrooveMobile throws exception.

If you need me to install the Message cab to give you specific exception details I will.

Also, and this might be what's up, if I'm on wifi, it works fine and starts almost instantly, but over E, H, 3G, it throws the exception.

Thank you again for your hard work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Try to change the GZip-Compression Option :/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lciaccia:
Try to delete the directory of SciLor's GrooveMobile. Deinstallation does not delete the cfg files otherwise you would lose it every update

Yep, that worked. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joe_coolish:
hmmm... Flashed to kumar 2.0 and it seems to be working now. idk what happened. Maybe it was the data connection?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Could be now enjoy :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
Ooh skinning, let me find some time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sillymcnasty:
How do you install version 10? I downloaded it but there's no cab file to distribute the files. There's a dll and xml files in the zip, and the .exe file doesn't seem to install it? A bit confused. I have version 8 and it doesn't work, I'd like to have this app working again. Helps when I bring my phone to the gym and I don't want to bring my ipod as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
You have downloaded the zipped version. You may extract it to your device.

You may also download the CAB version (.cab.zip)!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sillymcnasty:
*facepalm* how could I have missed that? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 71Cuda:
I've been getting the same error. nanogroove and grooveshark.com work for me, but groovemobile always plays the wrong song. Is there something to fix this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Try to download it with my downloader or better with both of my tools. Please report if you get the right song with one of those!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 71Cuda:
I tried DownloaderWM. I keep getting errors/crashes when trying to use it. But I did get it to download one song and it did get the correct song - unlike groovemobile.

You say "both of my tools". What other tool are you referring to? Do you mean both Downloader and DownloaderWM? I tried Downloader on the PC, but it isn't working for me. Perhaps it's the network I'm on. I'll try again when I get home this evening.

Update: I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling Groovemobile. I was then getting an error where I saw my last search results as soon as I openned the application and it wouldn't complete another search. I then deleted the directories from Program Files and reinstalled. Now it seems to be playing the correct songs. So I'm all set for now. Thanks!

Looking forward to the new interface and enhancements. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Yes, those I want to test you.

If it works only with my downloaders, I will try something that may fix it :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
im not asking for much as a feature but can you add a next button if I got it on randam and I am driving and dont like the randam song....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 71Cuda:
I tested the PC version of the Downloader at home and it does get the correct song. I tried the mobile version again and I keep getting the same error when I try to download. I've attached a screenshot of the error. But I did successfully get it to download one song earlier today, and it was correct. Groovemobile is getting the wrong songs for me again. So current status:

Downloader (correct)

DownloaderWM (correct once but errors prevent further testing)

Groovemobile (incorrect)

Incidentally, I installed v10 on my wife's HD2 and it has the same problem - plays the wrong song.

Let me know when you've made the change that you think may fix it. I will test it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 71Cuda:
I did a little more testing. It seems DownloaderWM works pretty consistently with my HD2 is connected to my WiFi network. Through the cellular data connection it doesn't work most of the time, although I did get it to download one song that way again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xhozt:
dude if you could do this with rhapsody you would be a GOD sir .. ;-) but this is nice too ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joe_coolish:
Same boat. I think its the t-mo network...

Well since rhapsody is encrypted and uses proprietary encoding, you would have to be some kind of deity to get in.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I will think about that ;)

All I would say :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 4D3:
Hi,

I just tryed this on the hd2 and it doesnt do anything.

it installs fine, runs fine and searches fine, but there is no way to actually play the tracks!

then i click to play nothing happens. a small box appears but it doesnt do anything.

this is a great idea, shame it doesnt work!

i look forward to a working version!

thanks

MG
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fatmonk:
@MysticGenius

Lack of genius? Or just not the most intuitive interface in the world?

The box that appears means that the song has been moved to your playlist.

Swipe the screen left or right to move to the playlist screen, then you can play the song from there.

The search sceen doesn't allow playing of the tracks (so to me it's a bit wasteful and confusing to have the play controls at the bottom of that screen). Also the box could be a more descriptive icon - maybe something that looks like a playlist of some sort...

The app works, and is really coming along well from what Barguast started, but the UI could do with a bit of improvement. Scilor's strength is obviously the tricky code in the background, and he always seems to get those bits working, but the UI doesn't always make things particularly obvious (as you found out!).

-FM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Thank you fatmonk :).

You are alright, I like making tricky code, but h8 coding the UI :D. But I am currently talking with somebody to get a co-coder for the GUI!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi scilor,

co-coder for gui = great news for your app. Then we can skin it further to dusk and GTX :D. Thank you for this type of app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MatthewYiu:
Awesome!

better than nanogroove!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
I sense a nanogroove merger..............
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I will never fusion with nangroove :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
Coding the UI was -the- reason I stopped working on Groovefish. I had the beginnings of a great TouchFlo style interface, but the amount of code required to do something as simple as draw semi-transparently is ridiculous. In fact, you can't even do it at all without digging into interop functions and when I started down this road I found myself rewriting GDI+. Not a simple job, but it was worth it given the half-assed effort Microsoft provided with the Compact Framework.

Glad to here you're getting help with this. Hopefully you'll keep each other going when wading through the sh*tswamp that is Windows Mobile UI development.

I'm still watching with interest. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
will the regulators allow such a merger? lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joe_coolish:
Have you looked at the Sense Interface SDK? I picked it up the other day and wow, it's really easy to work with and very nice. Might be worth looking into? Beats redoing GDI+!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jjhuopa:
Compatibilty with different ROMs

Hi! Is there compatibilty issues between different ROMs? I previously used EnergyROM on my Diamond and very rarely had the "Failed to start song" message, but now that I tried another ROM I can´t start anything..

edit: Ok looks like it was a temporary problem, works better today.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
It's only the internal GrooveMobile search function that makes it play incorrect songs. I was able to get the correct songs playing on playlists that I had previously saved while search was still working correctly. I was also able to get the correct songs playing on playlists that I created online at Grooveshark.com today and loaded into GrooveMobile.

For anyone who is not using GrooveMobile because it's not playing the right songs, load your playlists from Grooveshark.com and that will get it working for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
is there any new news on the next update? also will there be more features added in V11 and hows cacheing coming along?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Thank you for this hint :). This supports my idea of the problem :)

Nothing ready yet, I am making my last oral test this week and I have just installed my new system. To bad that one of my Motherboards RAM slots seems to be broken :/. So that means I have no nice system to work on for a week or two. Just be patient, it will come, when it is ready :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
no problem, just get excited and look foreward to new stuff
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Hey Scilor,

Anything happening on V11?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
My oral test is done and was perfect :). My new computer is also working now.

I am gonna maybe release a new version soon, mainly as an attempt to fix the "wrong song bug".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
since your schooling and computer is doing good, do you see yourself getting closer to fixing the big song bug and is cacheing becoming a reality sooner then we can think? Lastly I know this is no biggie but can you add remember to login? so you can login instead of retyping your login info and pass
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I will just try to fix the song bug.

Then I will do nothing on the existing interface, BUT I will create a completely new UI, as skinnable as possible, including everything possible with grooveshark(tm).com
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] superkevx:
thx scilor, your apps rock
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] likeminas:
First of all thank you for putting so much effort into this app.

I installed version 11 and I'm sorry for asking such as noob question, but

when I search for a song and select one from the result's list, I get a square to the right of the song, but then I don't know how to play it

The square box is unchecked and when you tap on play nothing happens.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for any help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Enjoy!

You havn't installed v11, there is no v11. Should swipe your finger over to get to your playlit ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
Mr. S. -sorry for the noob question. I installed alpha 2 and it did not give me the warning, "the previous version will be removed do you want to continue". To remove alpha 1, do I just delete the files that I unzipped? or are there things I should adjust in the registry as well?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Just Remove the old version by deleting it. Then just install the new version
