MOG to shut down, replaced by Beats Music

I would love to try Beats but I don't listen to music on my phone and I don't have (or want to place) a computer near my audio system. At this point those appear to be the only avenues for receiving their stream. I don't even mind the price increase so much - $4.99/mo was an unbelievable deal. As I said above, if they would just document and open their API, I bet somebody would do the work for them and they could retain all of us. Thanks for the email address Tune_man. I'll probably send them a similar email. Maybe if enough of us speak, they'll hear. Dick

RDdio is the way to go...

I cancelled my MOG account today and am undecided on what streaming service I will use. I currently am using Pandora, Calm Radio, Radio Paradise and sometimes TuneIn. This might be enough.

Most likely, I will stay with the above for a while. I am in no hurry to decide.

I had hoped that Beats Music would of treated its MOG customers better. It bugs me that they doubled the price immediately and did not give us a 6 monthly grace period (or something similar) at the $5 rate. It is unclear to me if Beats Music will have a similar user Interface and artist selection process that MOG had.

What other streaming services do you suggest I look at and why?

I asked Beats Music questions about album selection and the Desktop App. Their response is below:

Thank you for contacting Beats Music support today. It is great to see you have some interest with Beats Music. But to answer your inquires.

1. Beats Music much like its predecessor Mog has similar search features such as searching for an artist by name and receiving results for albums and songs. Beats music interface is slightly different from Mog but its easy and simple to use.

2. As far as the desktop app to be completely honest it is different from the mobile app. The interface of the app is a little simplified from the mobile app. For example the home menu screen on the mobile app the following tabs will be

Just for you
The sentence
Highlights
Find It

and the web app will only have the Just for you and Highlights app.
But the functionality is pretty much similar.

I really hope this information provided is rendered pretty helpful. Thank you again for choosing Beats Music as your music provider.

Enjoy your Journey in Sound

====================

Based on the above response, and my other research, I might try Beats Music. I have not decided yet. Does anyone using Beats Music have any comments?

Did everyone see the Super Bowl ad with Ellen Degeneres . Everyone around me like Ellen's part then asked what is Beats? They certainly are not a household name. I just said, like Pandora and everyone nodded.
