Good breakdown on TechCrunch:

Basic idea is $5 a month for unlimited streaming via browser. Most songs are 320kbps, some are 256kbps. They've got Universal, Sony, Warner, and EMI, plus a bunch of indie stuff. I thought it was dumb at first glance, because I use Pandora like 24/7 (64kbps, mmm), but it's actually pretty sweet - you can get more specific than Pandora, you have a lot more flexibility in creating stations/playlists, and the search is FAST! One thing I like about it over Pandora is that there's a slider to do artist-only, or more artists like this artist. Neato.

You can sign up for a free 1-hour trial. Pretty nifty. They need an iPhone/Droid app. Oh, and U.S. only for now.

I've been using The Sixty-One to stream music. It has a pretty cool RPG feel to it, with quests and reps and stuff. I've found some frickin awesome music on there.

If you sign-up, put nkgreen as your referer. I get teh reps for it.

Free too!

Needs more moogles and/or half-man/half dog.

Interesting service, though, I think I'll check it out when I get home.

I just came across this site as well, and loooove it. I can:

Play playlists of any artist I want by themself
Skip ahead and back as much as i want
Adjust how many different artists I want playing with said artist.

And now that Pandora is charging after you've listened to 40 hours worth of music, there really is no "free" unlimited streaming music provider.

In summation, MOG > Pandora.

I think I'll switch soon as well.
Currently using Zune for the rest of the month, though.

I hate the bait-and-switch internet business model.
They get you all hooked on a sweet, free service, then limit it and ad-bloat it out and charge you money for their "premium" service.

I'd rather just use a site that is premium and consistent to begin with.

Mog is a really old site.

Mog is a really old site.

Looks like it was created in '06, and has changed significantly over those years.
