MOG Over Promises And Under Delivers With New Music Service
,----[ Quote ]
| Hereâs the next contestant in the never
| ending stream of music services, each of
| which, inevitably, slide into financial
| disaster at some point. Music service MOG
| says theyâll launch MOG All Access by
| Thanksgiving this year. Itâs an on demand
| music streaming and Internet radio service
| that will cost $5 per month. The four major
| labels â Universal Music Group, Sony Music,
| Warner Music Group and EMI Music are on
| board, plus thousands of indie labels via
| IODA and Beggars Group.
|
| Sounds great, except users can listen to
| streaming on demand music for free today at
| MySpace Music and Spotify, which is
| preparing to launch in the U.S. Will MOGâs
| user experience be so compelling that users
| will pay $60/year for something they can
| get free elsewhere?

And Here Come Another Round Of Yawn-Inducing Music Subscription Services
,----[ Quote ]
| So, here we go again. With plenty of people
| waiting for Spotify to enter the US market,
| the NY Times reports on two other new
| entrants; one from Mog -- who seems to have
| blasted press releases to everyone, with
| the general reaction being a big yawn and
| one from the founders of Kazaa and Skype,
| called Rdio. Neither sounds particularly
| compelling.

Pandora Continues To Push Users To Vote For Shameful Radio Performance Tax
,----[ Quote ]
| Apparently, Pandora has once again ramped
| up this effort to have the government tax
| its competitors. A whole bunch of you have
| been forwarding these ridiculous emails
| from Pandora that urge people to contact
| their elected officials in support of the
| RIAA Bailout bill. Most of those submitting
| those emails to us have said that you'll be
| doing the exact opposite, and are offended
| that Pandora is pushing you to support such
| a thing.
