This is a real shame. I just discovered Rdio about a month ago and it was a breath of fresh air coming from Pandora (repetitive music discovery, and you can't play a specific song/album) and Spotify (awful UI, cluttered and full of bugs, and not web based).

I also had this handy bookmarklet to mute most of the ads: https://gist.github.com/craigds/14db5022a00b946ee14f

I have no interest in a mobile app or downloading content. Streaming whatever I want whenever I want on my laptop is important, and having a good discovery mechanism is important too. Pandora and Spotify aren't up to scratch.

I don't think there are any decent alternatives to Rdio, though I just googled and discovered Google Play Music is now available in NZ, so maybe I'll give that a go.

Might be related.


mute, not block. Rdio still gets paid.
