Care to elaborate on such bugs?
Sure thing: here are two screenshots from trying to sign up for Spotify (the T&C just looks broken, but the other wouldn't let me pay them. And I have JS enabled in my browser) https://twitter.com/AndyStone/status/666425404345847808
As for Apple Music, the layout was completely busted during the sign-up process. Didn't feel like it was Apple's (or anyone's) level of quality. http://imgur.com/udUV6zK
I've moved over to Spotify out of need at this point, but I was considering the move anyway with how buggy the Rdio app was getting, which is an entirely different topic. But I hear you on how Rdio was such a nice change from a community and design perspective. Loved reading this recap: http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/11/a-eulogy-for-rdio/416310/
That was an excellent read. It is crazy to think about how much knowledge Rdio has about me and my music preference. I discovered SO many of my favorite bands through Rdio and have mostly avoided music review sites since Rdio premiered. I'm currently trying out Apple Music, but feel like I still need a better discovery website for new tunes (and that's not Pitchfork for me).
Have a great day.
Ugh, yeah the Rdio mobile app was the only blemish on an otherwise fantastic service. Consistently had problems with it.

Have feedback?
Even with shutdown imminent in a few days/weeks, Rdio is still the better choice. I've been on it for 5 years and am not looking forward to joining the competition.
Sidenote: in my signups to both Apple Music and Spotify last night (not sure where to go), both had HUGE site-breaking bugs and design flaws that don't make me excited for the jump over.
