I also switched from Spotify some time ago. I was Spotify user and subscriber since their beta around 2009 but in the recent years the apps seemed were more and more complex, sometimes buggy and the design just worse and worse.

Now I'm a happy Rdio subscriber. I just wish they would have real native desktop client.

They do: http://www.rdio.com/apps/ (unless you are looking for a Linux desktop client)
I believe it just opens up a "web version" within the desktop app, but I could be wrong.

Still love the service, I don't have much use for "Offline" capability on my laptop/desktop - the mobile/tablet apps serve that need just fine.

The big plus of the desktop version is that it works with the media keys on your keyboard.
And exposes an API, too, I believe, that lets things like Alfred Workflows on my Mac also control from the keyboard and hotkeys.
