After exclusive hands-on on the new app the impressions formed about it are:

• Except for one or two crash experienced in the initial log-in process, the app is stable
• When you move from music navigation to screen to the playback screen, the Rdio app puts the art of the album front and centre. The album art is high resolution and is a beautiful experience while you are jamming.
• The interface is very intuitive. No learning curves are required in using this app.
• The interface has a gun metal look and the things are laid out in a very easy and accessible way.

There are a number of on demand contenders. Among them Rdio is one of the few who have developed an app for the iPad.
