Streaming music comparisons and quality

I love MOG and use it every day, but I'd like to add a plug for using the premium Pandora service.($36 a year) If you use the the thumbs up and down regularly, Pandora's musical "DNA" system simply can't be beat. MOG's radio streams are very "dumb" by comparison. I've managed to customize a number of stations on Pandora to the extent that they constantly find music I love but never knew existed. I've worked as professional music programmer, so I ain't easily pleased or surprised. The Pandora algorithm is spooky if you learn how to use it.

My quibble with Spotify are the gaps in its back catalog. For example, MOG has the entire Verve archive. Last time I checked Spotify did not.

Ideally, I'd like to have all three services. Right now, though, it's Pandora for music exploration, MOG for focused attention and Redbook and high res when I'm in the mood for deep listening. Will we ever see 44 .1 streaming?

Sfar,

I completely agree. I hope people realize what a bargain all of these services are. Sent through a high quality machine like my Perfect Wave DAC II, they all sound pretty sweet.
