Rdio stations free on iOS and Android mobiles
Digital music service Rdio has announced that its new personalised streaming stations are now free on mobile to all iOS and Android users.
The announcement:
Rdio, the ground-breaking digital music service that has reinvented the way people discover, play, and share music, today announced that its new, highly personalized streaming stations are now free on mobile to all iOS and Android users.
Starting today, stations are free for all users — even those whose subscriptions or trials have ended. Any user is now invited to listen to all of Rdio’s stations — drawing from over 20 million songs — at no cost through the Rdio mobile app, available in the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Launched in August, Rdio’s new and improved stations are a culmination of Rdio’s focus on beautiful design and usability. Stations are also smarter and custom-tailored to users, creating an effortless listening experience that highlights the best of Rdio. Everyone can now listen to all of the artist, song, and 400 genre stations available on Rdio as well as You FM and Friend FM — personalized stations inspired by an Rdio user’s taste in music and likes on Facebook. Since launching in August, nearly 2.3 million stations have been created.
In addition, Rdio also announced two new features for stations:
- Station sharing. Think your You FM is proof positive of your superior music taste? Now you can share it — and any song, artist, genre, or other type of station — on Facebook, Twitter, or with any friend on Rdio.
- Playlist and album stations. Creating an endless stream of your favourite (or soon to be favourite) songs keeps getting easier. With the introduction of playlist stations and album stations, Rdio has more station types than any other music service in the market.
“Station plays are up over 50 percent since our launch in August,” said Drew Larner, Rdio’s chief executive officer. “We’re excited to make one of our most popular features available to everyone for free, forever.”
Non-stop listening for free on Rdio’s stations is available on Rdio for iOS and Android in the United States, Canada, and Australia.
