Sharkbyte Team Hard at Work
March 5th, 2008
At Grooveshark, in order to play music you need our helper application we call Sharkbyte that handles all of the p2p functionality and music playback. Recently there was a post by a friend of mine Jay, also an employee of Grooveshark, describing some faults in how Sharkbyte handles new updates. His main caveat is that an installed software shouldn’t fail silently and that updates should be installed automatically and actively prompt users to restart.
Today I woke up and decided to play some music while I got ready. Well when I tried playing a song, a box pops up telling me that new updates were available for Sharkbyte. It seems that the Sharkbyte team did a good job fixing those usability problems very quickly. Good job Team!
