Spotify isn't beautiful but at least it's not like staring right into the sun.

  Nearly all monitors have a backlight brightness control.

    Most monitor backlights have a threshold at which they can't go any dimmer without being shut off.

  Not only is Spotify ugly, it's nearly unusable in my opinion. Today I was trying to navigate to a friend's playlist and was unable to do so from the list of my Facebook friends. The web presence for the playlist had no titles, and the first time I tried to open it in the app it failed. I did not like Rdio's re-design at first, but it has grown on me more than I thought it would.

    Rdio wins hands-down for social/sharing features. That's the thing I miss the most. On Spotify I'm pretty much solo. Spotify's other killer feature is local sync on the laptop. I'm usually dependent on crappy hotel/cafe wifi and Rdio just chokes.

      Spotify's killer feature is that you don't have to exit the app and switch to a different app to play music that they don't have.

        I don't take too much advantage of this because I can already find more than enough stuff to listen to there but it can be handy sometimes it's true.

        True, there are also a few of my favorite bands on Spotify that Rdio doesn't have. Rdio seem like they haven't gotten a hold of certain indie labels. I've considered switching to a paid Spotify account just because of that. Spotify had a terrible Android app for a while, so I switched to Rdio. Then Spotify really improved their app so I considered them again, but now Rdio's app is even better. Hmm... Also, Rdio has a "family plan" type thing. My wife and I both have accounts, so we get a discount.
