Rdio Kicks-off Back-to-School with a Sweet Music Deal for College Students

Discover New Music With Stations, Add Old Favorites To A Collection, Listen Along With Friends For Less Than Five Bucks A Month!

WHAT
Just in time for the return to campus, Rdio is unveiling a sweet music deal to make that hard earned summer cash last just a little bit longer. Starting today, Rdio is offering web and mobile access to its catalog of over 20 million songs for just $4.99 a month, half the regular price of $9.99. That’s over 20 million songs from every major label, thousands of independent labels, and Rdio-only exclusives so you’ll be sure to have music for every kind of all-nighter.

HOW
To sign up for Rdio’s sweet music deal for college students, visit rdio.com/students. New Rdio users will need to create a profile with Facebook Connect or an email address. For existing Rdio users, the discount applies to the next month.

To qualify, students must be enrolled and registered at a National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) affiliated school. A social security number and US-issued credit card is also required. International students or students without a valid SSN can’t be authenticated, and won’t be able to sign up for the program.

WHERE
Subscribe and start listening anywhere — in a dorm room, on a phone, even at the library. (Quietly, of course.) You can even download songs to your mobile device for free to listen offline or when you’re not at your dorm. Currently only available in the United States. Stay tuned to blog.rdio.com for news and updates on the program, including expansion to other territories.
