So, how does the MOG premium service work on multiple devices? Can I simultaneously stream on multiple devices -- or does it lock you to only one streaming device at a time?

At home I use mog through a Vortexbox controlled by iPeng streaming to two synced Squeeze devices and it works very well.

I've got them playing ATM and tried using MOG on my Galaxy Nexus phone and had no troubles getting access.

My daughter will also sometimes use my account on her computer at the same time I am using it on my system ... screws up my recommendations though.  :)p12

Carly Rae Jepsen not audiophile quality enough for you?  :P

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll take the plunge too.

It's interesting because I've always been able to play MOG from multiple devices simultaneously, but their website says you can't- maybe it's outdated. This is one the the features I really liked over Spotify, which only allowed one at a time.

I haven't used MOG that much outside of a few week trial a year ago, but I really think Spotify stands out for its selection of new and Independent artists. I commonly see five or six previously unknown artists that started publishing less than two years ago pop up in a standard listening session of mine. As a nice bonus, many of the recommendations I receive come from artists around the world!

regarding MOG's stream quality... It hasn't been beaten, yet! However, since I primarily use spotify just to find new music while working or taking care of other things, I am not bothered by this.

Still no Pandora or MOG for us yanks abroad in the UK... It's Spotify for now. Well, unless I hide behind a VPN... Etc... Easier just to use a service that is set to work here for now.

I'd like to see MOG go international, it seems promising.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Not sure if you guys are aware. MOG was purchased by Beats last summer, and it will become their new "Project Daisy" streaming service later this year. I spoke to the guy who started MOG. He was brought on at Beats after the acquisition and quit after only 6 months. What does that tell you?

Standing alone, it doesn't tell me much of anything.  It's commonplace in corporate acquisitions for the acquirer to keep senior people from the target around for a relatively short period of time, to ensure a smooth transition, and then show them the door with a nice severance package.

Only time will tell if MOG's service quality is going to decline under new ownership.  I haven't noticed anything untoward yet.  Have you?

He wasn't shown the door. He quit. I was attempting to imply that he was not happy with the new owners (without just coming out and saying it. oops). Tyll is right on the mark.

MOG has been untouched since the acquisition as far as I know. BUT, Beats is launching their "Daisy" service later this year which will be built on the MOG backbone. The point is, I'm predicting that everyone's beloved MOG will be going away, replaced by "Daisy." We don't know if this will be better, worse, neither, or both.
