But we have a habit of throwing out a lot of the work (especially front end work) we have done and starting over from scratch every 6 months. :P I’ve been working at Grooveshark since around 2007, the product existed before that but was pretty crappy and invite-only.

Is that actually a SPARC-based box, or is it running the x86 build? (I'm a bit of a Solaris fan, myself. But only when running on SPARC). So what’s this about a lone Solaris box?

But what about technology related to the process where you collect songs? Or Grooveshark relies solely on uploaded content by users? Cheers, André Really nice post.

Everywhere, there is someone who is going to hate something, but I think in general, PHP is king. It powers the majority of websites. Good choice on CentOS. That is my preferred distro to use. Would you mind telling us how many servers you have powering GrooveShark? Maybe even a breakdown? Thanks! “Plenty of people hate PHP out there.” Everywhere, there is someone who is going to hate something, but I think in general, PHP is king. It powers the majority of websites.
