I'd add the varying availability of tracks as a major problem. Having some things simply not available is an annoyance, but I can live with that. What's worse is finding some albums I like, adding them to my collection, and then having them disappear later without warning. Almost just as bad is when that happens and they replace it with another copy of the same album, it doesn't get added to your collection. |

"I'm in Canada and was disappointed that we were cut out of the stateside Spotify launch, so I went looking and heard a number of recommendations for Rdio. Out of 18,384 tracks it matched 3,142. Considering my tastes are pretty mainstream and my files have very clean tags, it's hardly impressive."
For comparison, iTunes Match launched not long after that. More than half of my library was matched without uploading, and by that point it had grown to 21679 songs. Honestly, since iTunes Match I haven't even considered a cloud music service like Spotify or Rdio again. The way I see it, why pay to access someone else's crappy library missing tons of content when you can just upload your library and cut out the middleman?
