(UPDATE 2) Digital music streaming service **Rdio** is launching in **Brazil** as **"Oi Rdio"** later this week. Co-branded as “Oi Rdio,” it is the first on-demand service with social music discovery to launch there. Rdio currently operates in the **U.S.** and **Canada** and plans an early 2012 launch in **Germany** and **Australia.** Reports point to Rdio spreading to **100+ countries** before the end of next year.

  
Rdio worked with **Oi**, Brazil's largest telecommunications telephone company and the second largest in Latin America, to tap into its base of

**17 million subscribers**

. The service is available for both Oi and non-Oi subscribers with a **free 7 day trial**.

**UPDATE FROM RDIO:** *"Oi has 67.1 million customers in Brazil, not 17 M as we incorrectly stated. Additionally, the cost of our Rdio Web access plan is 8.99 reais, not 8.90 reais."*

**[Oi Rdio](www.oirdio.com.br )** looks and acts just like Rdio available in North America except that it has a co-branded “Oi Rdio” logo and uses a slightly different background color. There's on demand access to **12 million songs** as well as **localized content** from popular Brazilian artists through licensing deals with the major labels and local Brazil distributors and labels such as Som Livre, DeckDisk and OiMusica.

**Pricing:**

- Oi Rdio Web R$8.90 per month – Unlimited Web access
- Oi Rdio Unlimited R$14.90 – Unlimited Web and mobile including offline access

Launched in August 2010, Rdio was **founded by Janus Friis,** one of the creators of **Skype** and is funded by Atomico, Janus Friis through his investment entities, Skype and Mangrove Capital Partners.
