This is a real shame. I just discovered Rdio about a month ago and it was a breath of fresh air coming from Pandora (repetitive music discovery, and you can&#x27;t play a specific song&#x2F;album) and Spotify (awful UI, cluttered and full of bugs, and not web based).<p>I also had this handy bookmarklet to mute most of the ads: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;craigds&#x2F;14db5022a00b946ee14f" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;craigds&#x2F;14db5022a00b946ee14f</a><p>I have no interest in a mobile app or downloading content. Streaming whatever I want whenever I want on my laptop is important, and having a good discovery mechanism is important too. Pandora and Spotify aren&#x27;t up to scratch.<p>I don&#x27;t think there are any decent alternatives to Rdio, though I just googled and discovered Google Play Music is now available in NZ, so maybe I&#x27;ll give that a go.
