Pandora recently announced that it's planning to acquire the to-be-bankrupt streaming service Rdio, assuming the latter successfully obtains the status from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California. If you're a Rdio subscriber, you're probably wondering just what, exactly, this transition means for you.

Rdio was quiet about the details at first, but the service has since posted an update to give its curious subscribers a bit more information about how the next month or so might go.

"Thank you for your support of Rdio over the years. You helped make Rdio not only a place to listen and discover, but also a global community of dedicated music lovers. We've enjoyed working on Rdio as much as you've enjoyed using it. It's been an honor serving you," reads Rdio's blog post.

"As a result of Pandora's planned acquisition of Rdio, the Rdio service will be winding down in the coming weeks."

If you're a current Rdio subscriber, the service is going to cancel your subscription on November 23. That doesn't mean that Rdio is going away at that time, per se. You'll be able to enjoy the services you paid for throughout the remainder of your subscription; Rdio just isn't going to automatically charge you anything on what would have been your next billing date (or any subsequent billing dates). And, no, you won't be able to subscribe to Rdio starting on the 23rd, either (and we're not sure why one would even want to).

"After your subscription ends, you can continue listening to Rdio Free (ad-supported stations on mobile or ad-supported, on-demand songs, albums, and playlists on the web) until the service goes offline," reads Rdio's blog post.

"We'll be in touch via email in the near future with more specifics, including the exact timing of Rdio's end of service, as well as information on exporting your Rdio data, including your playlists and favorites."

So, while Rdio's to-be-demise isn't the best news for fans of the service, at least the company is taking some steps to make the winding down a little more pleasant for its (almost former) subscribers. It remains to be seen just how Pandora might integrate Rdio's technology into its own offerings—and perhaps win some of these lost subscribers back.
