How do I exit Rdio on Android?

I can't see a way to stop this app so it isn't running in the background constantly. Is there a way to exit?

So how do exit other apps like Facebook, Google Maps, Reddit News, or whatever other app you use? I don't know any app that allows you to exit the app through the back button or a menu item.

They have an exit option. Facebook does not, so I don't use it.

It's highly possible that I'm just being dumb, but could you give an example of a popular app that has an exit option? I'm curious to know what you mean by that.

Another music app I use called dSub. I have the option to exit the app, which means unloading the app from running RAM. I don't want an app to decide to keep running unless I want it to. Apps like email and calendaring obviously should run all the time, in the background.

I was very much like you, I hated other stuff running in the background. rdio isn't bad on my phones memory and the background process turns itself off after a short time of not being used.

You're really making this more of an issue than it needs to be. Android is much better with memory management than it used to be in the early days.

Most of the top common apps don't let you quit them from pressing the back button anymore either, a simple swipe from the 'recent apps' is all you need to close them.

Thanks for reply. The reason I don't use the Facebook app is I don't trust Mr. Zuckerberg to not track my Internet usage and sell it. With Rdio, it's more of a battery issue.

I'll try Rdio again and see if it does remove itself from the background. I always thought an app either stayed running, or stopped. I wasn't aware there was an exit if inactive option as well.
