Rdio. Music Streaming service. Not sure what happened after they closed up shop but the UI was beautiful and they had great performance.
I really miss Rdio! Just disagree on the performance a bit. The UI was fluid, but their network performance would take a hit from how their API had been designed: every action on the app would trigger a large JSON payload download (and sometimes upload). It definitely felt nicer than Spotify.
Rdio also had an amazing recommendation engine from Echo Nest. Even though that company got bought by Spotify it took them a long time after the acquisition before they had decent recommendations.
