Grooveshark has just released a version of their premium music streaming application for BlackBerry smartphones. While this application offers some nice features it can be tricky getting it to work properly (at least it was messing up for me). The only way to use this app is to upgrade your account to have VIP access. I’m not liking how Grooveshark set up their BlackBerry download page with it saying “Download For Free”. Yes you can download the application for free but you can’t use it unless you pay the $3/month subscription fee, and upgrade to some means there is a basic, free version…just saying. Here are the app’s key features:

• Play Any Song Instantly
  Find bands you already love and listen instantly—from individual songs to entire albums. Keep your friends close, and your favorite music closer.
• Save & Make Playlists
  Create playlists on-the-go and access them anywhere later. On your phone, computer, or friends’ place, your Grooveshark music is synced across the board.
• Radio
  Can’t think of what to play next? Grooveshark makes radio stations based on tunes you already love. On the road, at the gym, in your ears.
• Listen Offline
  Pick your favorite songs and store them on your phone to listen to even when your coverage drops. Grooveshark is your on-demand listening cure. Anywhere.
• Worldwide
  With Grooveshark on your phone, you’ve got the world’s music library everywhere your phone can go.

Check out the Grooveshark for BlackBerry page for more info or to sign up and download the app. There doesn’t seem to be a free trial available so if you decide to try it be sure to let me know what you thought of it in the comments, especially if you’ve used other streaming music apps.
