There’s only two things better than streaming services: bacon, and free streaming music. I can’t help you with the former, but Rdio can totally help with the latter — they’re running an ‘extended trial‘, which to you and me means six whole months of totally free, totally legal music. Now GOGOGO!
The trial lasts for 6 months, and gives you unlimited, ad-free use of the streaming web service. Sadly, you can’t use the mobile apps or offline players, but really, who cares? 182 days of beautiful, free, streaming music. Although Spotify’s the big name in streaming music these days, Rdio provides a pretty damn good web player and mobile apps, with a music library to be pretty proud of — sure, it’s not quite as comprehensive as Spotify, but then again Spotify actually costs real monies and has no web player.
Seriously. Go get it. I just signed up, and it took me all of five minutes to register (no, you don’t have to give them any card details) and import my Spotify playlists. Give it a whirl. Whatchya got to lose? [Rdio]

I wonder how much money artists get from this? I don’t like this ongoing devaluation of music one little bit.
It’s already a struggle for new artists to get any reward and the cheaper ‘mass music’ becomes the more unlikely it’ll be that we even the chance to listen to good independently produced and independently released music
The endgame is a few labels and more and more identikit X-Factor tripe.
