Rdio Unveils Industry's First Digital Music Family Plan
Rdio Unlimited Family Offers Over 20 Percent in Savings for Families
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Rdio, the unlimited, on-demand social music service from the creators of Skype, today announced Rdio Unlimited Family, the industry's first digital music family plan. Now the whole family can benefit from the convenience and savings of combining up to three Rdio Unlimited accounts into one billing plan.
Each family member can create their own individual Rdio Unlimited accounts and curate their own individual listening experience through Rdio's growing catalog of over 10 million songs. They can also follow friends, family, people with similar musical tastes, recording artists, and other influencers to see what they are listening to and share their music using Facebook and Twitter.
"When we first introduced Rdio, everyone in the industry offered the same rates and service plans for on-demand music: five dollars per month for Web-only access and ten dollars per month for Web and mobile," said Drew Larner, CEO of Rdio. "Now with whole families using Rdio, we've had a tremendous number of requests from our users for a family plan. We're really proud to be the first digital music service to bring this type of plan to market."
Families can add up to three accounts to one plan for a discounted subscription rate. Two accounts cost $17.99 per month, a 10 percent savings off the regular Rdio Unlimited monthly rate of $9.99; three accounts cost $22.99 per month, a 23 percent savings. No other digital music service currently provides discounted rates for families.
One Plan, Unlimited Accounts
With Rdio Unlimited Family, each family member has their own unique user log in, user profile, music collection, listening history, network of followers, playlists and other social features Rdio users have come to love. No more fighting for control over who gets to be DJ - every member of the family can now simultaneously enjoy their own songs on their own devices.
Each account can be accessed across Rdio's growing list of compatible platforms including web, Mac or PC desktop client, mobile devices such as iPad, iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile 7, in-home devices like Sonos and Roku, and in the car via Pioneer AppRadio.
How to get started?
