Rdio adds 500 live radio stations on its music streaming app

Amsterdam: Online music streaming service Rdio has introduced support for nearly 500 live broadcast stations from all over the US.

According to The Next Web, it is free whether or not the users are a paying subscriber.

The new feature in Rdio offers a mixture of algorithm-based stations and expert-curated stations with the traditional radio stations.

Rdio will allow the users to know what song is currently playing on live stations and from where they can save it as a favorite, share it or start a custom station based on that music.

Furthermore, Rdio will also support sports stations.

Rdio said that it will be adding stations later in the year and plans to expand the feature to markets outside the US as well.
