Just wanted to chime in that I subscribed to MOG last week and have been really enjoying it. There is no question that the sound quality is significantly better than Pandora One, and the ability to choose to play whole albums and pick specific songs to play from their extremely large catalog is exceptional. Highly recommended!
In re: MOG, and Anne Briggs
It's kinda crass to criticize something free, but I've grown weary of Pandora--sound quality's not very good and, in particular, the music library's very limited--unless you constantly tweak your stations, you get frequent repeats of songs. Ergo, I bit the bullet and paid the $4/month for MOG, which is quite amazing. Very good fidelity and a fantasticly broad collection--even with my obscuro tastes they have probably 80% of the albums I searched for, plus a ton of live stuff, rarities, etc.
Which (rather randomly) brings me to my current obsession, the 60s English folk singer Anne Briggs. She sings traditional (and traditional-sounding original) stuff, largely a capella, though she's also a good guitarist. Known (if at all) for writing the Led Zep song "Baby I'm Gonna Leave You" (conveniently stolen by Jimmy Page). Now a capella folk music may not be a genre you crave, but this stuff is incredible--haunting, funny, etc. Can't stop listening.
Enjoy your Sunday, y'all.
