Music streaming service Rdio makes its way to France and the UK, along with its apps

For those of you in the UK and France who have been waiting to use popular music streaming service Rdio, you don’t have to wait any longer.

We reported in March that Rdio was hammering out deals with record labels to make the service available in Europe and it seems like the hard work has paid off.

According to reports on Twitter, the Rdio apps are popping up in Google Play and Apple’s app store:

I see @Rdio has launched in the UK! Android app available to download for UK peeps now – play.google.com/store/apps/det…

Here’s what Scott Bagby, VP of Strategic & International Partnerships at Rdio, had to say about Rdio’s hope for expansion a little over a month ago:

Working with PRS for Music further emphasizes Rdio’s commitment to the global music community. We are very excited to bring our service to even more countries, and because Rdio is socially powered, music fans will discover local and international artists across the world.

The monthly fees for Rdio in the UK is £4.99 for web-only streaming, and £9.99 monthly for unlimited streaming on any device.
