Music On the Go (aka MOG), an innovative music company conceived and run by fans, has recently launched an iPhone app (and an Android app) for its service, thereby giving subscribers access to a whopping collection of nearly 8 million songs. A 3-day trial version is available at the Apple App Store and requires no sign-up or credit card. However, if you need the ‘all-you-can-eat’ (unlimited) downloads, you need to pay $9.99 per month.
The MOG app works over both 3G and WiFi. The app’s navigation is similar to that of iPhone’s native music player. The app has decent search capabilities and lets you search for tracks by artist name, track name and album name. It even allows you to search millions of user-created playlists for your favorite tracks. Like several other streaming music applications, the home screen of MOG lists new releases, top songs and favorite tracks.
However, unlike other streaming music apps, the MOG app gives you a unique choice – stream a track and/or download it your device. The downloads are pretty quick even with high quality 320 kbps MP3 bitrate and the best part is there’s no limit on how much you can download.
MOG handpicks the best features of several other streaming music apps. For example, it lets you create custom digital radio stations (like Pandora). However, I’m rather surprised that the iPhone app has still not been updated to take advantage of iOS 4 multitasking capabilities. MOG says that it plans to launch a multitasking version of the app very soon. The Android version of MOG supports multitasking and lets users do other tasks while listing to their favorite tracks.
IMO, the USP of MOG app is its ability to provide ‘artist only’ stations. Throw in the combo of unlimited downloads, no irritating advertisements and a massive collection to choose from – MOG app is a mouthwatering prospect for any music fan.
You can download the app via this direct iTunes link. To learn more about the app, check out the video for a brief demo:
