Rdio responds to iTunes Radio with new Song Stations feature

Rdio for iOS gets a major facelift, new features

If you stream your music these days rather than spend your hard-earned cash on individual tracks on iTunes, you're likely using Spotify, Pandora or Rdio. The latter music subscription service is available in the U.S., U.K., Canada, France, Germany, Brazil, Australia, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and New Zealand.
