Did the old grooveshark have a direct link to the mp3 file of the song before? I missed that one.

Also, how is this running with that feature? Is this hosted on the moon?

5$ they're just a proxy for some public ftp mp3 index, using grooveshark name and style to bootstrap visits.

According to this tweet[1] it's actually mp3juices.se with a different skin. That seems to be confirmed by the same habit of using dl.<domain> for media serving, the very similar layout, and the same (apparent) choice of hosting provider.

"to bootstrap visits?"

That's a new one.
