just signed up with MOG

It's not complicated:

If it's worth $10, pay for it....if not, don't pay for it.

But wait, great news :D: if you don't need to stream to different devices, they offer a 50% discount. Nice of them to do that. Some people only need it on their desktop.

But wait, there's still another option: You can get it free. FREE? NO WAY! Yes way. Gosh, that's nice of them. And I'm sure "everyone" understands that companies are not in business to lose money or to even break even, so if they ask you "for free" to deal with ads or share on social media....your choice. Complain? Well seeing as how much you are paying for it....oh I forgot, it is free. Never mind.

Just my perspective.

I really enjoy MOG and get my $10 worth.

After I signed up, they said I could listen to more music if I created a playlist, shared their service on social media sites (e.g., facebook), etc, etc. Several things I could do to extend the amount of music I could listen to, otherwise it would run out. And it did.

When you say signed up I assume you are talking about their free service? None of what you describe applies to their paid service. I don't use social media sites and I seem to have unlimited access to their library.
Bottom line is, if you were using their service for free, they can put on any limitations they want. You were still getting something for nothing, hoops or no hoops.

well spotify has no requirements. mog you have to be active on their site.to get more time added or the streaming time will run out,,i have no problem with it some might but i dont.only thing i am giving spotify a good long listen and really enjoying.thus it will probaly be spotify i subscribe to with a paid plan,

the whole thing is really no big deal free paid it dont matter either way rhapsody has a free one too,with the ad's but that is expected.
 
In my opinion, at $10 a month MOG offers a spectacular value. I have a SONOS system with their remote app on iPhone and listen to an amazing variety of music, discover new artists and save at LEAST $10 a month by NOT buying music I'm not sure about.

I think his response was towards the fellow who was complaining of jumping through all the hoops to get the service. All the hoops go away if you (he, actually) pay.

An extra $5/mo isn't going to put me in the poor house, I just thought it was strange that MOG would classify a device that runs off a 120v wall socket and is connected to an ethernet cable as "mobile".

Up to 320kb per second. I think they were leaders in this aspect. CDs still sound better so I use MOG for a triage of sorts, listening to lots of music and then only purchasing albums I really like.

The quality of MOG is good enough to tell if the album is well recorded or not.

You completely 100% misunderstood my post.

Read post #29. He got it. Sorry you took it the wrong way. If I had meant this toward you, I would have quoted you. I notice that is what you do when you respond to a particular member's comment, like in your posts #25 and 26. Why would you not think I would do the same? (as I'm doing now).

btw, the "100%" includes NOT trying to get under your skin.

Hope you understand now.

Thanks for "getting" it. Hopefully your post and my follow up will help him see it a different way, aka, the correct way.

Thanks. Apology accepted. No harm or foul. Glad you set the record straight. You're a good man!

Here is a quote from a Zen Master that I use from time to time. If you ever feel like someone is upsetting you, remind yourself of this. You almost have to to survive in the internet forums. I've been in them for about 10 yrs and it just gets to be a joke about the wars that go on between cable believers/non-believers, ss better than tube, I hear this/no you don't, etc. etc.....then the thread gets closed down only to have the topic come up yet again at some later date.

The Quote:

"Someone recently asked me what my dying words would be, what would I offer the people? What came up to me immediately — "It's just your opinion." If we just think of all this as our opinions and play with those, instead of going to war over them, that's the thing. If you can just start there."
 
yes you are right and most times i think that way.i am just a shadow of my former self all i really have any more is my wife my dogs and my music and first of all my God ,if i cannot be a humble person in the presence of others then i have failed altogether.
 
I'm a Spotify user. I've been paying my $10/month for the past 6 months. But I'm thinking about switching to Google Music. I just got a Chromecast and it's very convenient to stream music wirelessly from my Nexus 7 tablet to the Chromecast. Unfortunately, Spotify and Mog cannot do this until they have an app that's capable of streaming to Chromecast. There are only about 4 Android apps that can stream to Chromecast. I'm hoping other companies will do so soon.

You "can" stream from a computer's Chrome browser to Chromecast. To get the best results, those websites have to be optimized, which most aren't. So I can stream Spotify from my computer (not phone or tablet) if I open Spotify in my Chrome browser. But the music bit rate is lower. And that just doesn't cut it!

Chromecast has a long way to go.

it seems like chromecast and the apple airply dont really do good with the others that is why i went with a open streamer. like the wd live.idoes support all of the majors streaming media companies.the only thing i would stream from my computer are the files i already have (quite a few).the wd live has mog raphsody,spotify apps built in ,and the video streamers too like netflix,hulupus,and 3 different youtubes and others i cant think of.
 
i am sure there will be better ones coming too the android streamers are out too that they say are good ,but i am not a android fan.i am surprised there isnt more out there logitech had some good ideas but they have backed down.sonus is good too just way out of my price range as was the squezzebox.

Hmmm, I haven't researched the wd live. I just got the Chromecast cause it was $35 and I just can't regret buying any electronics toy for that cheap. :yes:

And Amazon is supposed to come up with a device before Christmas.
