I find it sad that you have 10 points when I have 1 point, as if your statement about Pandora proves that Mog can't match up and you have never wanted to have a bit more control over your music (and that what I've said has no value). I'm not a mog salesperson. I'm a music fanatic that used to listen to pandora like crazy until I realized I could have more control and still have a great radio feature with Mog.
I want to see the future of radio be one of full choice with great suggestions, not pandora's restrictions. I think Pandora has built amazing suggestions, but it's not perfect and I want to push for the next generation of music experience.
I also checked out mog after reading your post, and it seems like a great service. My post was not meant as a critique of mog; the main point was that before Pandora, 'managing' my music was a time-consuming and tedious process. Discovering new music involved hours of browsing amazon listening to 30 second clips and trying to make educated bets as to whether I would actually like a CD or not. Making music playlists is another very fidgety exercise, especially when trying to update them with new music. Pandora solved all that for me, and for free! If I decide the ads on Pandora get to be too much, I might consider trying out mog, but for now I have very little motivation to switch.
That's fair. I think a large part of why you're not getting more upvotes is that Pandora seems to be far more popular than MOG. I hadn't heard of MOG until you mentioned it. I went to their site, and (assuming their suggestion engine and library is about as good as Pandora's or better) it seems to be all of the things I wish Pandora would be.
FWIW, you've caused one rabid Pandora fan to give it a look.
