I recently switched back to Spotify. Rdio's "web app inside a native app" really kills the experience for me personally, though I'm sure from a dev experience it's a lot less to manage. The app feels slow. Sometimes it refreshes to a blank screen.

But the worst thing - a good part of my collection has gone "unavailable" as they lose music licenses. It's the risk you take when you're subscribing to music, but it seems to not happen as frequently on Spotify - at least for me. On one Rdio mix playlist I had, for example, nearly 40% of the tracks became available. Really a bummer. I liked Rdio's simplicity, but for me personally, the experience was really lousy.
