MOG Debuts Its All-You-Can-Eat Music Service for Mobile
AUSTIN, Texas - (BUSINESS WIRE) - MOG (www.mog.com),
the Web's best on-demand music listening service and music blogging hub,
today demonstrated its new MOG All Access mobile streaming music
application for smartphones. The application 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.
"The whole point of putting music in the cloud is to be able to get to
it whenever you want it, from anywhere and mobile was always an end goal
for us," said David Hyman, founder and CEO of MOG. "We started by
building the best desktop music experience and now we've taken all of
the features of the website and created the best way to listen to music
on a mobile device."
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."
