Rdio will be viewed by many as coming from a similar tech-startup background to Spotify, so will have to really differentiate itself to get people to use it. I think Sky's forthcoming "Spotify killer" could surprise a lot of people, as it already has the route into people's homes and established brand that startups don't.
