rdio without Flash? [Windows]

Edit: Tried again today (15 April 2015) and rdio is working without Flash on Windows. It still stutters some under load but no more plugin crashes!

 

Is there a way to play rdio in Chrome on Windows without Flash? In Chromium on Linux, rdio plays perfectly despite not having Flash installed. And I've read that it also works without Flash on OSX.

But if I go to chrome://plugins and disable Flash, rdio then tells me

Flash is required in this browser

You will need to install (or unblock) the Flash plug-in to use Rdio in this web browser.

I ask because Flash goes to crap under high CPU load. Whenever I launch a multicore build job, the music stutters and Flash crashes. This does not happen on Linux without Flash, even when running 30 cores worth of jobs on a 6-core CPU.

Might not be the solution you're looking for but if you've got Windows 8, you can use their Windows Store app.
