Rdio has unveiled that its personalized streaming stations are now free on mobile to all iOS and Android users. The stations launched Thursday (Oct. 3), and are free for all users, including those whose subscriptions or trials have ended. Any user can access Rdio’s stations, which draw from over 20 million songs, at no cost through the Rdio mobile app.
400 genre stations are available on Rdio as well as You FM and Friend FM — personalized stations inspired by an Rdio user’s taste in music and likes on Facebook. Since launching in August, nearly 2.3 million stations have been created. Rdio also features station sharing via Facebook, Twitter and with other users on Rdio for mobile users. Playlist and album stations can also be created.
“Station plays are up over 50 percent since our launch in August,” said Drew Larner, Rdio’s chief executive officer. “We’re excited to make one of our most popular features available to everyone for free, forever.”
Non-stop listening for free on Rdio’s stations is available on Rdio for iOS and Android in the United States, Canada, and Australia.
