Rdio streaming service made in USA, arrives in Italy

For sure, for l # & 8217; Italy, this is the # & 8217; year of music streaming: after and Deezer Spotify , the popular American service RDIO created by Niklas Zennerström and Janus Friis (formerly creators of Skype) opened its doors to the peninsula flag.

As Deezer also RDIO has its web interface, unlike Spotify that you can hear only through a & # 8217; proprietary application. As far as the 8216; # & app for Android, the layout is very clean and interesting, well integrated with social and caching functionality for 8217; # & listening off-line (8217; # & last only if we are willing to subscribe to the # & 8217; 10 subscription and broken euro per month).

With the proliferation of so many streaming services at this point is d 8217; # & duty a minimum of 8220; # & & #; 8221 comparison: first, RDIO is not free, or rather not after the first 14 days of use. As you already noticed, Spotify allows us to listen to unlimited way (web only) all his catalogue provided you bear any advertising break here and there, the same is not true for RDIO (and also for Deezer) who, after a free trial period, we will ask you to subscribe to at least the package from € 4.99 per month for 8217; # & listening via the Web.

About the music catalog, according to many incomparable Deezer is followed by RDIO and as latest Spotify (try a search for Beatles or Pink Floyd or Oasis and Coldplay and you will find that not all streaming services obtain the rights for any artist).

L 8217; # & Web interface of RDIO is very fluid and powerful and is also compatible with Android tablet. Probably between the other two and, in our humble opinion, the true added value of RDIO lies in 8217; # & nice and clean interface, clear and very web 2.0 as opposed to Spotify and its layout too similar to a centuries-old iTunes and Deezer which, however, is still head and shoulders above.

No difference on the sound quality, 320 Kbps for all three (with Spotify does not remain free) with gap-less playback and then without interruption if you listen to concept albums like The Wall.

Even RDIO as Spotify and Deezer playlists supports collaborative: make public your list of favorite tracks and your friends can add their contribution.

The only drawback of RDIO l & # 8217; inability to synchronize our files. If Deezer and Spotify have their app that does a scan of our library by not letting us hear the songs we already on the disk, RDIO developers have poorly designed not to incorporate this functionality, and say that would be enough a simple browser extension such as Deezer. One of the advantages of sync with local music lies in the fact that if an artist is not present in the catalogue, it lies in that great library that includes both our music than that available on the Internet. This means that if I'll try Arcade Fire on RDIO, despite having all albums on the local paradoxically I will be forced to open Spotify to listen.

We conclude leaving you on the button to download the app from Google Play Store, the promotional video and some screenshots of app for Android. Let us know your impressions.
