Rdio Debuts in Spain and Portugal to Challenge Spotify

Music fans in Europe are going to have more options for streaming their favorite tunes online. Rdio, which debuted in the US, is now launching in Spain and Portugal, the second EU expansion after debuting in Germany earlier this year.

"We're excited to launch Rdio in Spain and Portugal today. Now you can reinvent the way you discover, listen to and share music," Rdio announced.

Rdio is already available in several other countries, such as Canada, Brazil, Germany, Australia and New Zealand, apart from the US. Spotify, one of its main rivals, is already available in Spain and has a large market share in Europe.

Rdio will be priced regularly, €4.99, $6.60 for the basic paid version which comes with unlimited listening on desktops, and €9.99, $13.11 for the Unlimited version which comes with mobile access.
