MOG on-demand music
listening demoed MOG All Access mobile streaming music application for
smartphones at SXSW. The app will be available initially on
iPhone and Android platforms. The service, which will be available in
early Q2, will cost $10 per month for unlimited listening and
includes the desktop service as well.
With MOG All Access Mobile, users will be able to access MOG's full
music catalog of seven million songs from a smartphone. Features
include:
- On-demand listening: Users can listen to any
artist, album, or song, on-demand, in unlimited amounts. - MOG Radio: Users can hear an unending stream of
music based on a track or artist, with full control over how
many similar artists are mixed in. Because MOG Radio is built
right into the play queue, the music never has to stop. - Music discovery technology: With an innovative
slider control, users can decide if they want to listen to true
"artist only" radio, or allow for the introduction of similar
artists into the playlist queue. - Seamless integration between website and mobile:
Users can access the playlists they make at MOG.com for
on-the-go listening. They can also bookmark favorites while
using the mobile app that are then integrated into their
personal library. - My Downloads: Users can, in unlimited fashion,
download songs to their phone into a "local cache" so they can
continue to listen to music even when out of cell or WiFi
range. - HQ Audio: Users can download songs at the standard
rate of 64 kbps or turn on HQ downloads to save the song as a
larger file with higher audio quality.
"MOG All Access with mobile is the holy grail for music fans," Hyman
continued. "For $10 a month, you get access from your phone or PC
to 7 million songs on demand along with our fantastic radio
programming. It doesn't get any better."
