Less than a month after an initial announcement that Pandora had bought the struggling streaming platform, tonight Rdio announced plans to shut down internationally next week. Endgadget reports that Rdio emailed subscribers with a short note about the exact plans for closure. "As part of the acquisition, the Rdio service will be shutting down worldwide on December 22, 2015 at approximately 5pm PST," the email reads. Until then Rdio is giving users a chance to tread back through their time on the service with a feature called "Farewell" that facilitates the exporting of playlists and other metadata.
