Places like DownloadSquad and TheNextWeb reported the interface was HTML5, and there were a fair number of forum posts in the official Grooveshark forum about an HTML5 interface coming soon…and then a link in November 2010 with a preview to the website, which seems to correspond to the new site design that went live in December.

But without taking a few months to learn this stuff through and through, I can’t really argue here 🙂

For what it’s worth, HTML and JavaScript — or, if you’re feeling trendy, AJAX — already do everything Grooveshark’s current UI does. HTML5 would imply it’s actually using relevant HTML5 technologies, like the audio tag, or canvas, etc. It’s possible I missed something, but it really looks like it’s xhtml + JavaScript + Flash.
