I'll be honest, I tried Rdio and didn't get where the "music discovery" part comes in. In the month I used it I was only suggested completely unrelated, but obviously 'featured' albums (on their "frontpage" so it wasn't even on my face.)
All in all, I just didn't find the service that interesting unless you consider the technological angle.
- rgrieselhuber 14y agoMusic discovery does suck on Rdio, granted. I find myself using other services for that. But for daily listening, the experience is much cleaner than Spotify's is, IMO.
- avree 14y agoI like the Stations on Rdio, actually. I've found some cool artists through the Echo Nest-powered discovery stuff they have.
- dguaraglia 14y agoYep, that's true. I had a bunch of issues with their 'native' OS X app though. Every now and then the embedded browser (I think that's what they do anyway) would go nuts and eat my whole CPU. Also, the streaming quality didn't sound that great. I regularly use Grooveshark, and the quality of the songs over there was much better. All in all, I guess it might work for some people. It just didn't make the cut for me. For that matter, neither did Spotify or Pandora. I guess I'm just not the target audience for that kind of service in general.
