"We're excited to make Grooveshark available to a new and diverse audience with the new NOOK App," said Josh Bonnain, Vice President of Business Development at Grooveshark.

The app features Grooveshark's always-free Radio mode, where users can create Radio Stations based on the music they choose for an endless flow of custom-tailored tunes. Radio mode also offers genre Radio Stations, to make it even easier for users to discover new music and rediscover old favorites. With on-demand access, users can search and play millions of songs, share songs quickly and easily across social networks, listen to their list of favorite songs, create playlists on-the-go - and access all of it anywhere with their NOOK Color or NOOK Tablet.

While Radio mode is completely free, on-demand access is available for a 14-day/50-play trial or with a Grooveshark Anywhere subscription. Grooveshark Anywhere is a $9/month subscription that allows users to take Grooveshark on their supported mobile devices, now proudly including the NOOK Color and NOOK Tablet.
