Grooveshark plugin for Boxee (partnership with Boxee)
I would love it if Grooveshark partnered up with Boxee to make a Grooveshark plugin/addon for the Boxee Media Center software, (the social networking enabled media center for Linux, Mac, and Windows, with the media center part based on the open source XBMC software).

Overview of Boxee on wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxee
Boxee could possibly offer three levels of Grooveshark access to its users just like that normal Grooveshark software; one free that is sponsored via ads, one that gives a full 24-hours access, and one that is monthly flat fee all access premium pass.
I guess that Grooveshark would need an open online API provided by Grooveshark with authentication possibilities, (similar to how it accesses LastFM and other such services).
PS Boxee also uses Get Satisfaction for customer feedback:

Inappropriate?The alternative would be to implement Spotify support in Boxee:

Inappropriate?Spotify is great... I voted for Spotify -
Inappropriate?Just wanted to let you all know that we have started to look into the Boxee API and are investigating how we might work grooveshark in.
If anyone knows any developers that are familiar with Boxee, give me a shout.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?Great to hear! Well as a Grooveshark's employee you can just e-mail Boxee's CEO directly and he will put you in contact with one or several of their developers who will be able to help your own developers out; "Avner Ronen" (avner at boxee dot tv) or e-mail their business e-mail address (bizdev at boxee dot tv).
More Boxee contact and development information can be found here:

Alternatively, if you will make it an open API (instead of a closed API dedicated to Boxee) so that others can use it as well then you might consider also going through the XBMC project community developers as Boxee is based on XBMC Media Center source code (which is open sourced under the GPL) and everything that XBMC supports Boxee can also support.

At this time XBMC's addons systems is also better documented than Boxee is:
