Rdio's desktop app used to be adobe air. Now it's something else, probably native. Spotify is C++. Most of the others are just browser sites. Grooveshark is now mostly HTML5 with the music playback component in flash.

Rdio is some native UI, a lot of HTML, and a copy of the Flash runtime (I installed it just last night, and was curious about why it was so large).
