The design-forward streaming service. Rdio has been discontinued; the active alternatives listed here are maintained products you can switch to.
Music listeners who wanted an on-demand streaming subscription with a clean interface and social discovery through friends' listening activity, rather than radio-style or download-based music services.
Unlimited on-demand streaming from a large licensed music catalog, plus the ability to create and share playlists and follow other users to see and hear what they were playing. The interface emphasized album art and a polished, minimalist design across web, desktop, and mobile apps. Paid tiers added offline syncing of tracks to mobile devices for playback without a connection.
Users searched or browsed the catalog, added albums and tracks to personal collections and playlists, and streamed them on demand across supported apps; a paid subscription was required for mobile access and offline listening. Rdio shut down in December 2015 after its parent company filed for bankruptcy, with Pandora acquiring its technology and team rather than continuing the service.
