Streaming music comparisons and quality

If you're using mainly mobile, MOG is an extra $5/month from Spotify's $5/month. I don't think Spotify broadcasts @320 to mobile.

Wrong Cymbop, Spotify had a million or so more tracks.

Pandora's Genome technology is easily the best. No comparison. I agree with Vhiner; it is spooky how well the technology seems to always not only play the music I like based the on thumbs up/down input, but also in suggesting new music. But alas, not supporting high bitrate is what killed it for me. I tried and liked MOG but my workplace blocks it, so now I'm using Spotify. The extensive library and high bitrate is great but the Radio feature(supposed to emulate Pandora's Genome) really sucks. It always plays the same songs and plays a lot of crap I don't like.

I don't believe that MOG has any significant uphand on Spotify. I did a little research on the web. Anybody know for sure differently?

Here is the response I got from Spotify regarding higher resolution files:

The majority of tracks in Spotify are of a high-quality at 320kbps, apart from a small portion of our catalogue (less than 5%), which is currently only available in 256kpbs.

As for your mobile, 320 kbps is available under the setting of 'Extreme Quality'.

If there's anything else you'd like to ask us, just let us know.

My quibble with Spotify are the gaps in its back catalog. For example, MOG has the entire Verve archive. Last time I checked Spotify did not.

Ideally, I'd like to have all three services. Right now, though, it's Pandora for music exploration, MOG for focused attention and Redbook and high res when I'm in the mood for deep listening. Will we ever see 44 .1 streaming?
