I was a Rdio subscriber for a year before Spotify, and I can say I left it because of: - Buggy desktop app (used Flash player and would eat 100% CPU) - Buggy mobile app [1] - Restricted library (lots of tracks marked as "not available in your country", which defeats the point of having an online streaming service).

To be fair, the country restrictions are caused by the labels, not Rdio.

  The unfortunate truth is that to users, it absolutely does not matter whose fault it is, only that the country restrictions are there.

    It means that every (legal) service is likely to run into the same problems though. The only way to avoid the headache is to pirate the music instead.
