Grooveshark

kendall.a · 22. Feb 2011, 06:23 AM

For any of you using ClearCloud, can you try to access Grooveshark? (http://listen.grooveshark.com/)

I get a "funky" screen on my PC and it doesn't load properly. However, my wife's laptop accesses it just fine (also running Windows 7) and my laptop running Mint accesses it just fine.

On my desktop (main PC), I've tried Chrome, Firefox, IE 8, and Lunascape and none of them work. The only thing that I can think of that is different, is that I'm running with ClearCloud enabled.

P.S. Yes, I have Adobe Flash Player installed.

Nevermind. After numerous attempts, I finally figured out that it was because my Java was 4 updates behind. I updated my Java and it works fine.

Glad you got it worked out, Grooveshark is a great website.

(4 updates behind with Java

tut-tut

Tried Grooveshark on here and the site wouldn't load properly in any browser, just a white page with a couple of links displayed, only the mobile apps page worked correctly. This machine is using ClearCloud.

Tried it on a second machine, which uses Norton DNS, and Grooveshark loads and works fine. The second machine doesn't have Java installed at all, but the site loads with Chrome and FF.

Changed the DNS from ClearCloud to Norton on here and now Grooveshark works in all browsers - so kendall's initial queary was right, it must be something to do with ClearCloud.

From what I can tell, Java is only needed for Grooveshark if you want to upload music to the site.

Incidently I'm currently using Comodo Secure DNS and Opera, and the Grooveshark site is working fine for me.

I don't have a Grooveshark account so can't use the upload facility, but the rest of the site works ok without Java. I'm using Norton DNS on both machines now - giving the Web content filter a try - but Grooveshark is working fine. Must have been ClearCloud because the site load problem went away as soon as I switched DNS.

I am facing the same issue for quiet sometime (I don't have java installed) - It's "Clear Cloud".
When I switch to any other DNS - Groveshark works fine - I like Clear Cloud more than Groveshark - hence never permanently switched to other DNS.
