Hot damn. Grooveshark, the up-and-coming digital music service reported on CrunchGear here, TechCrunch here, and done up as a screencast here, is going to be selling DRM-free music tracks for 29 cents a pop today from 12PM to 12AM, EST. That’s insanity. Virtual insanity. Hey, I bet you could download that song for 29 cents!
You’ll need a beta invite to get an account so if you don’t know someone who’s already a member of the service, you’re out of luck. Luckily you’re not out of luck because as luck would have it, you know me and I have 500 beta invites to dole out.
E-mail doug at crunchgear dot com to get in on the action. I’ll try to get you hooked up as quickly as I can but I’m going to be pretty busy downloading my ass off so please be patient. And no, I don’t work for Grooveshark. I just happen to like it. Sorry for showing my human side. Bloggers have feelings and emotions too. Ooh, that reminds me…note to self, download "Sweet Emotion." I think I deleted it by accident.

I don’t want to be a wet blanket, but there are some interesting comments being made on the TechCrunch post regarding the EULA.
It gave me pause.

I read about grooveshark and their promo on TechCrunch and decided to give it a whirl yesterday. I populated my account with 10$ to try things out and spent two hours getting error messages and having my downloads stalled.
So it was supposed to cost me 29 cents a song, but I wasted hours, got 5 songs and had my account dinged for 25. Now I have $3 in my account and can’t get the songs I paid for to download.
Were they just unprepared to scale to the volume, or did I just get taken for a ride? I checked out their site looking for a support email to get my issues handled, but that isn’t one of their options.
Anybody else get whacked?
