1. The sound quality is supposed to be better, at 320kbps vs. 192kbps, right? I think it was, but it was subtle enough that I couldn't swear that I'd pass a blind test. Slight win MOG. 2. The MOG Squeezebox UI is painfully bad compared to Rhapsody's. There's no way to do arbitrary browsing through genres (Rhapsody's genre browsing along with its key artists, top tracks, etc., make music discovery really great). Adding stuff to your favorites is only possible on an album (never a track) level, and not even consistently then. 2a. Your favorites/library behaves really weirdly: If you add an entire album to it, when you go in to view individual tracks, you don't see the songs from that album at all. But on the other hand, if you add an individual track from an album and go into the album view, you see its album but clicking on it gives you ALL the songs from that album. There's no way to see all the songs that you've chosen, and just the songs that you've chosen. 3. If you don't need mobile (phone) access, MOG is $5/month versus Rhapsody's $10/month. If you do want that, they're the same price at $10/month. (Rhapsody doesn't have a no-mobile plan.) Upshot for me is that I'm cheap enough to probably go with MOG over Rhapsody for half the price, but if you want to use the mobile capabilities, Rhapsody is much better from a Squeezebox perspective, so I'd recommend that. -- mkozlows ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mkozlows's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91465 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
