"Rdio is now available in 20 new markets around the world, greatly increasing the reach and potential user base for its cross-platform, on-demand music streaming service.\r\n\r\nThe new regions are: Argentina, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Hungary, Israel, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, South Africa, Uruguay, and Venezuela.\r\n\r\nRdio is now available in 51 countries, spanning six continents around the world. Today's expansion marks its first entry into Africa, and makes Rdio the second largest music streaming service \u2013 Deezer still holds that mantle \u2013 in regards to the number of countries where listeners can tune in.\r\n\r\nWe're expecting a high-profile announcement from Spotify, arguably Rdio's biggest competitor, later today. The\u00A0WSJ\u00A0reported that it would be launching a free, ad-supported version of its service for mobile users, which would be a vital differentiator against Rdio and Deezer.\r\n\r\nRegardless,\u00A0today's expansion shows that Rdio, which recently appointed ex-Amazon exec Anthony Bay as its new CEO, is ready to go toe-to-toe.\r\n\r\n\u27A4\u00A0Rdio Expands to 20 New Territories: Now Available in 51 Countries\r\n\r\nImage Credit:\u00A0Ian Waldie/Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
