What is HTML5 Player? This is an alternative to the current flash player that looks and works almost exactly the same way. HTML5 player was originally created by Philip Braunlich with a very awesome HTML5 Player compassion table.

Grooveshark has released a new HTML5 player to stream music across various platforms. Before this release, SlideRocket’s HTML5 Player was introduced, that enabled the powerful presentations on the iPad and iPhone in the past.

Groovshark is a music streaming service that allows every user to search for, stream, and upload music that can be played immedietly or add to a playlist. The site is currently being sued by all major record labels; however, it insists that it functions within the law despite not having licenses from many labels.

Remind you, Grooveshark as told is an music streaming srvice that ever dies, despite being banned by every top level music label, but it seems to be adopting to the shifting marketplace faster than its rivals can keep up. After being removed by the Apple from its iOS App Store (apparently releasing the Groove app in the Cydia Store) those persistent Sharks are battling their way back to mobile relevance by releasing a HTML5 version of their mobile music player.

Without needing an accounts – currently usable on iOS, Android, PlayBook and on TouchPad, so, no playlists or cached songs – but it works quite fine, with background playing support straight from the browser works on iOS.

Grooveshark is one of those on-demand music services that needs to be seen to appreciate: it’s a dishevelled and disorganized version of Rdio or Spotify, but that doesn’t mean it should be dismissed.

from Grooveshark blog:

In an effort to span over this confounded series of tubes and reach as many mobile music listeners as we can, we’ve done the unthinkable.

iOS? We got there.
Android 2.3+? We got there.
Playbook? We got there.
TouchPad? Yep. There too.
