TECHi's Take
Rdio is ending its brief foray into streaming video, shutting down Vdio after just eight months. Unlike Rdio’s music service, which is subscription-based, Vdio offered movies and TV shows for rental and purchase. The service launched in April exclusively for Rdio subscribers, before opening up to everyone in June.
