I'm pleased to report the WAV PlugIn works great for streaming audio
from my PC to my SB receiver. Many thanks to Joe Bryan wrote the
original plugin.

I've used the MOG music service a lot over the past two weeks.  They
really do stream at a high bitrate.  It sounds like 80% of the tracks
are at 320.  The rest stream at a lower bitrate, but sound better than
any other service.  The user interface is the best of the five services
I've used.  It is easy to find music and save it to favorites or
playlists.

I have not utilized the MOG automatic music suggestion feature very
much yet.  So far, it has not done a great job, but I may not be using
it properly.  For me, the old Yahoo Music (closed Feb 2009) and the
current Slacker services provide the best automatic music suggestion. 
They suggest new tracks  based on TRACKS already liked.  MOG bases its
suggestions on ARTISTS already liked.

On the other hand, the MOG user interface helps me discover lots of new
music.  For a given, artist, album, or track the web page shows: 
similar tracks, artists, and other users' playlists containing the same
music.  All tracks can be played on demand with pause, fast forward,
repeat, etc.  It is like having a mp3 player with nine million tracks. 
I don't know of any other service that comes close to this.

By the way, I have no financial interest in any of these companies.
