On-demand music service Grooveshark has a nice promotion going on for former users of the now shut down Lala site: one free month of premium VIP service. Cloud storage and streaming service Lala was shut down at the end of May after being acquired by Apple, prompting some to surmise that the latter company intends to bring an online music storage component to iTunes.
The promotion is intended to “help ease the pain” of ex-Lala users, who received iTunes store credit for the music purchases they’d made but have lost access to their Lala libraries. The Grooveshark VIP service, normally $3 a month, removes all advertisements from the music streaming site as well as providing access to a desktop client and to mobile apps for the Android, BlackBerry and webOS platforms and for jailbroken iPhones.
Former Lala members who want to take advantage of the offer can head to Grooveshark, answer a few questions mostly about their listening habits, and get immediate access to the VIP service. A spokesperson for Grooveshark told us this promotion will be available “indefinitely.”
What do you think of this promotion? If you’re an ex-Lala user, will you take advantage of the offer?
