Ask HN: How is grooveshark built?

I plan to start my new project that is kinda similar to Grooveshark, I have the idea in my head but I don't know where to start. For example, what languages do they use? (Javascript/Php?) Is it possible for me to build it using rails? (I am more comfortable with Rails)? Help is very much appreciated.

Great links!! I have my own music app that I'm building for personal use. Here is a jQuery plugin you might want to check out for the player: http://www.jplayer.org/
