BERKELEY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MOG (www.mog.com), the Web’s best on-demand music listening service, today announced its mobile streaming music application is now available for download through Apple’s App Store and on Android Market. The MOG mobile app is free to download and users can enjoy a free three-day trial with no sign-up or credit card required. For $9.99 per month, subscribers get access to more than 8 million songs with unlimited listening and all-you-can-eat downloads, as well as MOG’s desktop service which can be accessed using any PC and any browser. MOG is the first mobile service that lets subscribers download any song or album directly to their iPhone or Android phone for a low monthly fee.
“100 Most Influential People in the world”
MOG is the first service to bring true “artist-only” radio stations to mobile devices. Users can listen to continuous, uninterrupted music from their favorite artists for as long as they want with no ads and no limit on the number of consecutive tracks by a single artist. Listeners can also discover new artists by using the player’s unique slider control to introduce similar artists into the mix. The slider is powered by “MOG Mobius,” a patent-pending music discovery engine.
“Today’s music lovers want the ability to listen to their favorite music wherever they want without having to pay for each individual track,” said David Hyman, founder and CEO of MOG. “With the launch of our mobile apps, we’re getting that much closer to making MOG ubiquitous and making it easy to access the world’s music collection on-demand for a low monthly fee.”
MOG Mobile features include:
- Unlimited downloads: Subscribers can download any song or album directly to their phones and continue to listen to music even when out of cell or WiFi range.
- On-demand streaming: Unlimited listening to any artist, album, or song at any time.
- MOG Radio: Only MOG offers the patent-pending “MOG Mobius” music discovery engine, which enables users to control the mix of similar artists, from true “artist only” radio up to a full mix of similar artists.
- Playlist access between website and mobile: Make playlists on MOG.com and access them on your phone. Favorite tracks that are bookmarked from the web are then integrated into a user’s personal library and appear in favorites on the mobile app.
- High quality audio: Songs can be downloaded at the standard rate of 64 kbps or users can turn on HQ downloads (up to 320 kbps) to save the song as a larger file with higher audio quality. This gives listeners the option of receiving high quality downloads for maximum audio fidelity.
- Multi-tasking: Android users can continue to play music with MOG while using other applications. In the coming weeks, MOG will add multi-tasking for iOS 4 users.
