The online music service allows users to access their library of over 18 million songs that come with no advertising interruptions and can be listened to and shared across the web, social networks and mobile devices.
"The countries that have free access to Rdio are the United States (where it is free since October 2011), the United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden, "said a spokesman Rdio CNET in an email. It is not yet available in Brazil and Germany. According to PCMag, a spokesman said Rdio expansion is intended to "attract users and raise international competition that we expect will drive more users."
Rdio launched in the U.S. in August 2010 as an alternative to other streaming music services. Since then, he has made his service to Facebook. Last October, Rdio founder Janus Friis launched Rdio Artist Program, which is designed to give musicians the best commission rates by eliminating the idea of payment-by-piece using some other services.
From now on, new users in 15 countries who get six months of free streaming may at any time switch to one special subscription service. In the United States, plans are $ 4.99 per month for unlimited Web streaming and $ 9.99 per month for unlimited Web, mobile, and offline listening. Prices differ depending on the country.
