For what it's worth.... Hey MOG Listeners, We owe you an update. We wanted to give you more details and clarification about what you can expect over the next few months. If you’d like to try Beats Music, please sign up for a free trial and check it out. You don’t have to wait until we send you the free month code – you can add that credit to an existing Beats Music account in March. We wanted to allow as many of you as possible to take advantage of the AT&T offer first. We’re also building a playlist transfer tool so you can bring your playlists over from MOG to Beats Music. Favorites will not transfer because Beats Music’s feature “My Library” works a bit differently. We wanted to take a moment to highlight how Beats Music has incorporated some of the best features of MOG. The 320kbps high quality audio streams across platforms, competitive 20+ million track catalog available to search-and-play on-demand, and killer personalized recommendations are still essential to the new music experience we’ve built. New releases are also available on Beats Music, but now we divide them up so you can browse by genre — we got this feedback from you back in the MOG days, so we hope you like this change. You can browse them by genre from the “Find It” section. “The Sentence” is a powerful way to create a practically never-ending radio station based on your chosen mood and the genre you’d like to hear. We think it’s a big improvement on artist radio. Also, artist radio fans please check out the “Intro to…” and “Deep Cuts” playlists for artists instead. We’ve found them to be just like human-curated artist stations. More to come! Lastly — we really want to highlight our expert curation. Please check out our playlists. They’re really, really good. “Find It” and “Just For You” are two great places to start. Like we said before, MOG will shut down on 4/15/14. Thank you for being a part of it, and thank you for reaching out to us with your feedback over the last few weeks. Seriously. We are humbled by how much you care and we hope this makes the transition easier. Ian

Nice gift. They're good. Difficult with current toddler-proof vinyl/speaker setup to be very critical. No complaints though.

Ugh, the first Beats reviews on each... App Store: "MOG users will be disappointed." Play Store: "If you love MOG you will hate this."

Dupe post.

And adding another video to the Rob Ford list:

Forget jetpacks, we almost had the Pontiac Stinger. The future was so bright.

Shelly, it doesn't help your SB need, but just saw Rdio has a 50% off price for those with an .edu address. Gets you back to $4.99 for streaming across most platforms, including mobile. That said the bitrates are unknown.

Big night here with lots of high fives and dancing. Ms. Esmé climbed up on the throne and for the first time did her duty for god and country.

Though to be fair there is no real open service to rely on for the other 95+% of MOGs value either. Anyone know if there's anything similar to the below for moving between services? http://resp.in/

... or looking at it the other way the same price/functionality as MOG Primo (mobile, download, etc.). EDIT: Shelly, going into Spotify Setup or Upgrade I see only Free and $9.99 Premium options, but if you go into account settings/manage subscriptions there is a $4.99 choice there (at least in my old dormant account). Not sure if it shares the same bitrates as the Premium.

Hoping with MOG ending and Beats beginning there will be someone who does a new survey of Spotify, Rdio, etc. and publishes a review. Here's an early one for Beats - http://mobile.theverge.com/2014/1/20/5319322/beats-music-vs-spotify-dr-dre-streaming "When you first open Beats Music, it asks if you identify as a..."

Have a great day!

That was fun... MOG to close in April as subscribers offered (small) incentive to move to Beats Music http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/21/mog-subscribers-offered-incentives-before-service-closes/?ncid=rss_truncated

"I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things." - Douglas Adams

Well, more importantly we should remember the 3 B2B Sales Lessons from Martin Luther King! http://info.prosalesstaff.com/blog/bid/156260/3-B2B-Sales-Lessons-We-Can-All-Learn-from-Martin-Luther-King

This I think was the five year anniversary (it's not labeled), nearly 35 years ago. I swear you'd not recognize him if not for the familiar lines. His humor improved greatly and regional dialect decreased dramatically over time. So if you hate his voice now, you may reaallly want to stay away from this.
