Rdio Select undercuts the streaming competition at $3.99/month

select

Apple is expected to announce its new music streaming service in June, and Spotify will have some news of its own to share later this month. Now, music streaming underdog Rdio is elbowing its way back into the competition with a new service priced at just $3.99 per month.

Of course, there’s a catch.

Rdio Select offers a mix of unlimited radio-style streaming and very limited mobile downloads. You can listen to the company’s online radio stations all day with no ads and unlimited skips. You can also download up to 25 songs of your choice to your phone for offline playback, with the option to replace them with new ones every day.

The new service also includes high-quality audio with four options to choose from. However, Rdio Select only goes up to 320 kbps (same as Spotify), so it’s not really competing with lossless compression services like Tidal.

Rdio Select actually sounds like a pretty nice option, especially if you don’t need an entire library of music on your phone. $3.99 a month for the option to skip through online radio stations and get rid of those annoying ads seems fair to us. Meanwhile, 25 specific songs should be enough to get you through most days, though it definitely won’t hold up during a long flight.

If you’re interested, you can try out Rdio Select for free with a 60-day trial to decide if it’s really worth the price. Just hit the source link below to get started.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role?  Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Pirate Bay co-founder won’t be playing NES in his jail cell

Fredrik Neij, a co-founder of The Pirate Bay, the massive torrent site, was arrested last year for copyright infringement. That’s okay, though. He knew how he was going to spend his free time. Really, it’s not too different from what most gamers might as for: Nintendo. All day, every day. Unfortunately for Neij, prison authorities had some issues with the request. It’s not that video games are against the rules in Swedish prisons, though. That’s actually not too uncommon. To get a piece of hardware into the prison, though, it needs to be opened up so that it can be checked for contraband items (let’s just assume Nintendo-themed shivs) hidden inside. With a DVD player or something like that, it’s not too tough, but the NES uses special security screws to prevent people from tampering with the system or getting at the hardware for piracy purposes. For this reason, the Swedish authorities chose to deny his request. Their explanation is that getting into the console without destroying i
