On-demand music service Grooveshark, and Livio Radio, developers of Internet radio devices and accessories, have joined forces.

The exclusive, multi-year partnership, announced last week at the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, merges Livio Radio’s expertise in developing consumer electronics products and accessories with the global availability offered by Grooveshark’s catalog of 7 million songs.

Livio Radio founder and CEO Jake Sigal said the deal would continue his company’s philosophy of offering consumers more music with less work.

“The entire Grooveshark team is clearly as passionate about music as we are,” Sigal said. ”Our goal is to get Grooveshark into the car and your home with minimal effort.”

Grooveshark, based in Gainesville, Fla., was founded in 2006 by Sam Tarantino and Josh Greenberg.

“Livio has done a tremendous job working with digital radio partners like Pandora and NPR, and we look forward to pushing new product frontiers with Grooveshark and Livio’s new devices and car solutions,” said Tarantino, Grooveshark’s CEO.

Sigal said the new partnership between Livio and Grooveshark will move both brands closer to accomplishing their collective mission of making free Internet audio more accessible – both in the home and on the go – across a spectrum of potential users.
