Competition inspires creativity, or at least it has done so in the case of Rdio. Against Spotify’s slickness, Rdio’s rusty, ramshackle interface looked decidedly old-school.
Not any longer. Rdio has been completely revamped and, in the words of the company, is now “faster, simpler and more social”.
The new interface looks strikingly familiar since it borrows heavily from iTunes. Not that that’s a bad thing.
The changes aren’t merely cosmetic though. You can now add entire albums to playlists, share music with your networkon Rdio, create private playlists and discover new people to follow all in one place.
This post on the Rdio blog recounts all the changes.
