“Rdio is doing well in Canada and…Brazil?”
It seems obvious why Rdio is doing great in Canada. It was the first, and for the longest time, the only streaming service here to allow people to pick their own playlists. Doesn’t hurt that their library is quite exhaustive. (Though annoyingly certain stuff seems to regularly vanish and return as licensing deals expire.)
“Frankly, if you’re still stealing music, you’re wasting your time.”
I can’t believe how many people I come across unwilling to spend the $5-10 for something like Rdio.
