Rdio Has Discounted Family Plans Now

We don’t usually recommend emulating cell phone carrier behavior, but this is pretty cool: Rdio now lets you combine accounts into a family account for a ~20% discount. Combining two $10/mo accounts brings the total down to $18, and three accounts brings it to $23. You can add more than three, but the price per…

The Perfect Music Service

Google Music is here, promising the magic of the cloud. Is it the perfect way to consume music digitally? Well, that’s what they want us to believe. Google Music isn’t perfect.

On Rdio

In the last 30 days, I’ve easily discovered more great new music than I have in the last decade, and have listened to the iTunes equivalent of at least $700 in music for the cost of a CD. I’m talking about Rdio, a streaming music service that strikes me as a lot more useful than…
