> Pros: Expensive storage cost (Google offers 20GB for $5/yr)

Somehow I feel like this article could use a tiny bit of editing, as expensive storage feels more like a disadvantage than an advantage.

Thanks for the catch. I've updated the post.

What does this refer to anyway? The word Google appears nowhere else in the post, what is their cloud music service with this pricing?

It's articles like this that make me realize how fortunate we are to be having Spotify in Europe. Streaming my music from the cloud for quite some time now, I actually wondered for a second whether the blogpost was a few years old!

Still waiting for Spotify here in the US.

Maybe I've become an Rdio fanboy, but I think it serves all of my needs when compared to the other services. I never really liked Grooveshark because of its incomplete interface. I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem as though there's enough money from a free service to support the artists. I'm also not a fan of cloud storage because I really don't "own" much music, and there's currently not an iPhone app for the Amazon store.

So why do I love Rdio? Well, for $10/month I'm able to stream and locally cache pretty much any song I'm into at the time. They've also done a stellar job at signing indie labels, especially the ones here in NC. It also has my network of friends, so I can see what they're into.

Like I said, I'm really biased but hopefully you'll find some useful info there. :-)
