Peek inside Rdio + invites (usefultools.com)

My experience with rd.io:

1. A friend offered an invite. I checked out the home page and saw a screenshot on a nexus one and was thankful there was an android client.

2. Registered and found out there was no android client ('coming soon')

3. Realized that my invite was for a 3 day trial and that the monthly cost would be $10.

4. Said 'screw it' and went to play a few songs. more than half of the songs I went to play would just be skipped on my playlist with no explanation.

All in all, a terrible first impression.


I haven't had any songs skip on my playlist, but yeah, that would have annoyed the crap out of me. And I was also disappointed at the lack of an Android app.

For what it's worth, the monthly cost is only $4.99 if you're not using the mobile app.

I think it has potential but I liked Lala better.
