Rdio rolling out custom recommendations based on what you play, who you follow
Posted in: Today's Chili
Rdio’s been busy making deals, tweaking its player and adding functionality over the past few months, and now it’s learning you what to listen to. The music streaming service is starting to drop hints about albums, stations and playlists — making recommendations based on users’ listening habits and who they’ve been following. These Echo Nest-powered suggestions are rolling out to browsers now, and the company’s blog says iOS and Android will see the functionality soon. Now, if you start getting all kinds of admonishments for The Baha Men, you only have yourself to blame.

NYT: Rdio to offer free streaming by year’s end, strikes deal with traditional radio company
Posted in: Today's Chili
Having a hard time making it in the internet radio space? Maybe you should take a feather from the cap of a firm that still rides the airwaves. That seems to be Rdio’s approach — according to the New York Times, the company is partnering with Cumulus Media (a company that owns for-real radio stations) to create a free version of its audio streaming service. Rdio will also trade a stake in its parent company, Pulser Media, for chunks of Cumulus programming and promotion on the traditional airwaves. Cumulus will sell ads for Rdio’s impending free service, as well as compile playlists from its catalog of syndicated programming. This could buffer Rdio’s music library with news and talk shows, which will hopefully give the service a competitive advantage over services like Spotify, Pandora and iTunes Radio. Although the deal doesn’t involve a cash exchange, the Times reports the value of Cumulus’ services at over $100 million. As for that free Rdio overhaul? It’s predicted to be out sometime before the end of the year. The deal will be officially announced on Monday, until then, check out the NYT report at the source link below.

Twitter #Music might’ve released a Spotify app first, but that doesn’t mean it’s forgotten you folks on Rdio: you can now listen to all the tracks that rank on the social network’s charts from within the internet radio’s website or app. The songs are segregated into genre playlists — just head over to the Twitter #Music station linked below to access and subscribe to them if you’re inclined to keep abreast of what’s trending. If what’s hot with Twitter users don’t exactly suit your ears, however, you can always discover new music via Autoplay or take advantage its Station Tuning feature instead.

Rdio for iOS updated with Station Tuning feature, new design for Collections
Posted in: Today's Chili
Rdio’s used the past few months to bring an array of improvements to its iOS app — some functional and some cosmetic. To keep the momentum going, the company today released yet another update, including a Station Tuning feature that lets listeners “adjust any station to play more familiar or more adventurous tracks.” Additionally, the app’s Collection tab now sports a redesigned look, which makes for an easier, better-looking way to view album artwork. Rdio says search within has been improved as well, while other undisclosed, under-the-hood UI enhancements are also part of this version. Per usual, we’ve included the download link below.
