NEW FEATURES
We don’t want to spoil all the new surprises so head to the iTunes App Store or Google Play, and try out the apps for yourself.
It’s been just a little over a month since the Rdio Artist Program launched and the response has been tremendous. Today, we’re pleased to welcome new names such as Questlove, Far East Movement, Thievery Corporation, Brett Gurewitz of Bad Religion, Ladyhawke, and Hedley.
Artists have been sharing new releases and old favourites — from Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters tweeting out Boys Noize’s new album, to Snoop Dogg’s (aka Snoop Lion) ‘70s soul-inspired Friday Grooves playlist — and users are excited to listen along with their favourite artists on Rdio.
As previously announced, artists can share their music and the music they love with their followers, and the program rewards them for fan engagement. The Rdio Artist Program is active in all countries Rdio is available, so visit the Artist Program page to learn more.
Macca fans rejoice — Paul McCartney is on Rdio! As one of the most successful songwriters in history, the former Beatle has been a prolific force over the last forty years, never taking more than four years to release an album. Over that time, he’s also recorded with his former band, Wings, his late wife, Linda McCartney, and has dabbled in classical and electronic music.
Beginning today, start listening to classic McCartney albums such as McCartney, McCartney II, along with his latest album, February’s Kisses on the Bottom. More albums from the McCartney catalog will be available in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.
We're inviting our tech savvy users to be the first to try the beta version of our new Android app and help us shape the next generation of Rdio for Android.
As a beta tester, you’ll notice an updated look and feel, including a redesigned player, new side-bar navigation, and a new remote control feature. During the beta period, we will be continuously refining and improving the app, so expect frequent updates as your feedback comes in. It’s important to note that if you choose to beta test, the beta app download will replace your existing Rdio app, and quickly migrate your synced music.
Rdio Android users can participate in the beta and share their thoughts directly with us. To become a beta tester, simply join the Android Google Group. From there, you can download and install the app on your Android device and leave feedback.
We’ll let you know when Rdio for Android will be available for everyone on Google Play.
We’re committed to supporting the artist community and the music industry as a whole. That’s why today we’re launching the Rdio Artist Program — the first program of its kind, offering an innovative new model for artists to directly earn money from streaming music.
Scissor Sisters, Snoop Lion (aka Snoop Dogg), Chromeo, A-Trak and Brendan Benson — already fans of Rdio — are among the first artists to join the program. Now through the Rdio Artist Program, any artist can share their music and the music they love with their followers and be rewarded for fan engagement.
The Rdio Artist Program is active in all countries where Rdio is available, and any artist with an existing artist page is eligible to join. To learn more, visit the Artist Program page.
No matter your choice of preferred home media setup, we want you listening to Rdio. Starting today, Roku users can do just that—presenting Rdio for Roku.
THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH RDIO FOR ROKU
If you have a Roku and an Unlimited Rdio subscription, turn on your TV, check out the Roku Marketplace and snag the new Rdio channel.
Change is good. Which is why we’re please to share that starting today, the new Rdio is available to all. We’ve taken everything that already makes Rdio the best way to discover and listen to music and redesigned it to be even faster, simpler and more social.
The completely redesigned new Rdio is available on Rdio.com and the Rdio desktop apps. You'll find an updated Collection, drag and drop playlist creation, a personalized Heavy Rotation, and private playlists and much more.

Hüsker Dü started as a straightforward hardcore group, but they became much more. Frustrated by the restrictions of hardcore music, they toyed with the genre’s formula, thereby setting the bar for what alternative and indie rock could be with albums like Zen Arcade, New Day Rising, and Flip Your Wig. If your favorite band can even loosely be categorized as punk, indie, hardcore, DIY, or alternative rock, they owe something to this pioneering quartet.
We’re happy to announce that Hüsker Dü’s catalog is now on Rdio for your listening pleasure. Listen to the revered Zen Arcade below. Then, at long last, add the rest of the band’s albums to your collection.
Rdio is unlimited music, everywhere.
Choose the music you want to play and listen as much as you want — from the web or your phone, even when you’re offline. Find new music by following what your friends are listening to. No ads.
