Hi Michael... My connection's a Centurylink (formerly known as Qwest) 1.5 mb DSL connection. I live in the Seattle area of Washington State. Honestly, the lower bit rate stream wouldn't have compelled me to use it. Other than the higher quality stream and a lower price, I didn't feel that there were enough significant differences between MOG and Rhapsody to make me really want to change. I have many fairly large Rhapsody-resident playlists I'd have needed to try and reconstruct in MOG, and I actually somewhat preferred Rhapsody's search and overall UI. Content seemed roughly comparable, with maybe a slight edge going to Rhapsody. If higher bitrate the stream had worked perfectly, I might have wanted to make the effort, but..... So, if there had been an option to use a lower bitrate stream, then all MOG would have offered me was a few dollars lower price and that alone wouldn't have made me want to either switch or sign up to MOG as an additional service (you'd think I have enough of them as it is, but I seem to use them all!). -- rgro Rg System information ------------------------ Main: PS Audio Quintet > Vortexbox > Touch (wired) via optical > Rega DAC > LFD LE IV amp > VA Mozart Grands > REL Acoustics R305.
