Adding or Deleting Songs from a Playlist

by Ben Westermann-Clark September 24th, 2008

So you’ve got that perfect playlist, but one of the songs got old a bit faster than you thought. In Grooveshark Lite, you can Overwrite any playlist you’ve made, making it easy to add or delete songs from a playlist you’ve already made and save those changes.

Here’s how:

1. Drag the playlist you want to edit into your queue.

Add your existing playlist.

2. Find the songs you want to add. (Note: if you just want to delete a song, simply drag that song out of the queue.)

Add some songs!

3. Click the disk icon to save your playlist (it’s in the bottom right-hand corner). Then click “Overwrite Existing”.

Save new playlist.

4. Choose a playlist to overwrite from the list, and click “Replace Playlist”.

Choose your overwrite.

5. You’re done! If you go to Home–>My Music–>Playlists–>My Playlists, you can see the updated playlist right there waiting for you. Cool!

Overwrite complete.

  • Update: Grooveshark Lite Streaming Issues

    by Ben Westermann-Clark April 22nd, 2008

    As we mentioned earlier, we’ve been working round-the-clock to get Grooveshark Lite as useful and stable as possible since last week’s launch (and round of updates even before that). Right now, there are is still some song-streaming funkiness occurring sporadically which can be caused by a couple of different things.

    One of the major problems we’ve become privy to relates to a recent known bug involving the current release of Firefox for Windows users. Although they don’t know what the exact cause is right now, Mozilla support offers a couple of suggestions for working around it:

    1) You can uninstall both the ActiveX plug-in for Windows as well as the Flash plug-in for Firefox by following Adobe’s instructions here. Since there are two different Flash installers for Windows (Firefox and Internet Explorer, respectively), you might want to download the Flash uninstaller for Firefox, close Firefox and run the uninstaller, then download and run the latest installer just to be sure.

    2) If that doesn’t work, some people have reported success uninstalling Flash, running CCleaner, rebooting, then re-installing Flash. This will take care of some users’ problems who’ve been missing wavemapper in their Windows registry.

    3) Try closing all tabs, clearing your cache, restarting Firefox, then loading a song from Grooveshark Lite again. This is definitely not a long-term fix, but it works for a while–and it’s quick and easy.

    Much of Grooveshark Lite is based on open source project Red5. As a media streaming server, it does everything we need to power the basic functionality of Grooveshark Lite–but it still needs a bit of work. We’ve been tirelessly poring through the code, working on optimization that should hopefully not only mitigate the aforementioned Windows+Firefox bug, but lessen the need for restarting servers–making everything reliable, rock-solid, and as stable as a noble gas.

    All of us at Grooveshark can’t thank you guys enough for being patient with us. We’re a small bunch, and all of your interest is really amazing. And thanks to those of you who’ve sent us feedback; we’re always on the lookout to hear what you guys want, so thanks to those who’ve voiced their opinion–keep it up, everyone, and we’ll keep not sleeping to make Grooveshark Lite better!
