Re:Pandora to Buy Rdio Assets for $75M, Rdio Files Ch.11, Wi... by thirdsun on Tuesday November 17, 2015 @03:41AM (#10579879)
This is my impression too - and as a rdio subscriber myself, I also have annecdotal evidence: I maintain a huge offline library of losslessly bought music and that will never be replaced by a streamign service. Still, I love rdio as a preview, discovery and social hub - the people I interacted with there are all very similar: Audiophiles, with deep knowledge about music, digital crate diggers. Most, including me, still buy everything they like. Rdio has always been the service for true music enthusiasts in my mind and, frankly, I don't know where to go from here - I tried most other services at some point and have been pretty disappointed with their superficial approach to discovery and social features.

Just now I tried Spotify again and I don't like it all: No album focus, no label focus. Social features via Facebook? Meh.
