Beats Music replaces MOG

I just got the email from. MOG explaining that they will be shutting down in the next few months. I'm going to check out their new offering from beats, I guess MOGy was purchased by beats a while ago. So far I'm not a big fan of the new beats music app on my phone. It's easy to make music play but not quite as simple to play specific music I want to hear. Seems to be a fancy version of pandora. I also liked how MOG had info about specific artists/albums. I haven't found this in the beats app yet. I'm curious to find out other people's opinions and experiences.

Thanks sincerely for your loyalty to MOG. It means everything to us that you stuck with us while we created the next generation of streaming music services, Beats Music, using the great foundation of the MOG team and product. As you may know, Beats purchased MOG more than a year ago because we too were in love with its fidelity, simplicity, and mobile capabilities. Our goal was to go a step beyond where MOG or any other service had gone, to be more than a server, to be of service to the listener. We wanted to build an app that helped us discover music the way we discover music, through trusted curators, but that uses computers for what they’re good at, personalizing an experience to bring the right song, right now.

The result is Beats Music, an app now available for iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile, Web, and Sonos, an app that not only has all the on-demand subscription features you came to love in MOG but also more ways to find the right song to listen to right now than any other app on the planet. With Beats Music you should always be one hand and a maximum of five seconds away from something great to listen to without needing to think or type in a search box. If you’d like to search or build your own playlist, please do. But on those many moments when you’re looking for a quick fix, Beats Music delivers.

What's the deal with AT&T?
Exclusively with AT&T, you can get the Beats Music Family Plan with 5 accounts across 10 devices for $14.99/month and a 3 month trial. Individual Plans with AT&T will be $9.99/month with a one month trial.

Will MOG shut down?
Yes. After April 15th, MOG will no longer be available in the US. Monthly billing will stop on March 15th and yearly subscriptions will be refunded on a prorated basis. Between now and then we will offer tools to help make your transition easier. Stay tuned for more information on those tools.

See for yourself. Download the app and hit play.

Kinda sucks...I use MOG daily.

I dislike the "Beats" brand based almost solely on the hype, but I'll give the new format a try.

Yea, I don't like the idea of getting my streaming audio from e same company that makes those headphones.

While I've not yet tried it, I don't have a good feeling about this transition...
