Janus Friis and Niklas Zennstrom, founders of Kazaa and Skype, are privately beta testing their new streaming music venture, Rdio (with the eponymous ULR http://rd.io). Apparently, Rdio will offer unlimited, commercial-free streaming music on a subscription basis which is expected to be a few dollars per month. Many of the primary tech blogs are predicting the service to be dead-on-arrival but I’m not counting them out.  They’ve made something out of nothing… twice.

The Apple App Store has approved the Rdio app but it is non-functional unless you have been invited to the private beta. Head over to Wired to see the app in action and some additional commentary.
