That Pandora was planning to launch a full fledged Spotify competitor was no secret. The company said as much last year when it bought the ashes of Rdio, which had filed for bankruptcy. But today, at a lavish, over-the-top event in New York City, Pandora gave a small group of VIPs and press a look at the new streaming service. It's called Pandora Premium, and just as you'd expect, it offers on-demand access to a massive music catalog -- and it looks a LOT like Rdio, from the brief glance we have seen so far. But Pandora is leveraging the years of information it has about how its users listen to music to provide the all-important recommendations necessary to help people find new songs to listen to.
