RDIO going bankrupt

[Mikischu]

Who else uses the Rdio subscription in their cars? They are going bust. Wonder what happens to Tesla users.

Pandora buying assets of Rdio, which is shutting down - MarketWatch

i didnt think streaming services worked in the Model S. I used to be on Rdio but switched to Spotify 6 months ago and havent looked back. largely because of the lack of ability for Rdio apps on the blackberry. Spotify did work on my Passport, hence the change

In Hong Kong Spotify is not an option on Model S, I'd really like to use it if they introduced it.

Moderator's Note: Changed thread title from "Radio" to "RDIO", to be clearer about the issue.

Non-Moderator's Hat on: I too think Spotify would be a good decision for Tesla. However, a better decision would be Car Play and Android Auto support, then we could run whatever apps we have.

Thanks for fixing the title.

Asked the Tesla service guys about this today while getting my seatbelts inspected.
They had no idea about Rdio going out of business and even less about what would happen.

It is strange that different countries get different services. Not sure why they would do this. Might be there's more local music content in Rdio or the cellular data provider has free data for that service.

Given that it was only announced a week ago, I would be surprised if they did know and were able to talk about Tesla's plan for it.

Just to clarify, RDIO is the Tune In Radio service? I use that a lot.

RDIO is RDIO, Tune In is Tune In. These are two different services.
