You know what you like. What we want to do here with New Music Tuesday, is add a little something extra to the new music you might try out this week, and expand on what you see being added to your friends’ collections. Spotlighting the best and newest music in the Rdio catalog is already on our agenda but today we’re doing things a little differently.
Instead of using many embedded players to show off this week’s new albums, singles and EPs, there is just one collaborative playlist we’ve seeded with some favored songs from our favorite new music. Since there isn’t time to listen to everything, we want you to add your favorites from New Releases to the playlist. Next week we’ll pick someone randomly who contributed to the playlist to get a free month of Rdio!
