I've been told that this is actually just stolen Grooveshark livery slapped on an existing sketchy MP3 search engine, possible with bonus malware. It's late and I haven't tested it myself, though.
I browsed around for a few minutes, and I think you are right about that. The search is horrible, and the catalog is nothing like it used to be.

If anything, the site looks optimized and malware-free. Use of JS is very limited and it doesn't load any external resources.

Looks like at least some of the tracks are being grabbed from http://pleer.com/
Grooveshark is also a good delivery target for Flash-based exploits since the music player also depends on it. I remember times where some sketchy ads would crash the flash plugin consistently.

Does anyone feel inevitable that the music streaming apps are all going to collapse into one? And I feel that it's going to be Spotify, based on how things look right now. Pandora and Grooveshark seem to be far behind in popularity.
Spotify is far behind Google Play in my opinion. The biggest difference is Google actually has money it can pour into music and doesn't have to raise funds.
Google Play and whatever Apple chooses to do with Beats Music have a better chance at being that one music service than Spotify.
