  • Music service Rdio unveiled a completely redesigned website, as well as iOS and Android apps on Thursday, emphasizing its expanded free streaming offerings.
  • Until now, Rdio has fallen pretty squarely into the latter camp, focusing on its on-demand subscription service with its free offerings as more of an afterthought.
  • The revamped Rdio highlights its free content more prominently, including additional customized radio stations

  • Rdio is also rolling out a new kind of station — curated stations. Curated stations are created in-house at Rdio and our based around topics like fitness, "classic cocktail party," or "angry breakup." These stations are unique, says Becherer, because each one is created individually and doesn't rely on algorithms like the rest of Rdio's stations.

    "The Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) states that, to achieve Platinum status, an album must achieve sales of 100,000 copies/downloads of an album. Sales…that's the key. A random polling of several torrent site's downloads-ILLEGAL downloads-has shown that 1ST, the debut cd by ONE SOUL THRUST has been downloaded over 100,000 times," he wrote. Now, 100,000 downloads is a lot, especially for a band like One Soul Thrust who have just 176 Twitter followers and a single short, non-musical video on their YouTube channel which at the time of writing has 79 views. Incidentally, the video is quite nice, since they have actually taken the time out to thank a radio station for playing one of their songs. However, the band are less pleased that people are apparently sampling their music using newer methods, i.e BitTorrent. "We paid to create that album totally out of our own pockets. People think of illegal downloading not hurting anyone, but we're real people too- with real mortgages, real family to feed and real bills to pay," said lead-vocalist Salem Jones. "By downloading our album from pirate sites, people have stolen from us, our families, everyone involved in the production of our album, and their families."
