Is Spotify spying on my Rdio activity?

    The only thing I could think of is that Rdio or any ad-network is sharing information with a 3rd party and that 3rd party pushing the info to Spotify. The other way is through your social network like activity. Did you "like" the band on Rdio?

    Do you have Radio connected to Facebook? It posts stuff you listen to if you do; that could easily explain how Spotify got the information...

    I wouldn't be surprised at all if they were indeed spying. But it might been pure coincidence. Can anybody from Spotify or Rdio shed some light?
