Pandora offers 280 kbs with a yearly subscription that cost $35. MOG offers 320kbs for a subscription price of $4.99 a month. I have subscriptions to both. I won't be renewing Pandora. It's much too limited. MOG on the other hand is much better, not only in sound quality but in options. ie. You can listen to music of your own choosing, including entire albums.

Great tip Devil Doc.

Pandora would never bring up the Yuri Honing Treo and MOG had the albums. Awesome I will give it a try. How does the Quality match up to a played/ripped CD on a good DAC?

I'm a MOG user also and agree with Doc, it just sounds better and finds all the crazy stuff I look for. Once it came up not found and thats using it almost daily for 6-8 months or so......I also have Sony unlimited because a portable device I have uses it and it has a confusing interface. MOG is straight forward software...easy to figure out when the moment strikes!!

For those who are Jazz fans, KUWL-FM, Jazz Wyoming, has a 256K stream and generally excellent song selection.

KEXP Seattle streams at 1.4Mps and offers a pretty varied program.

Spotify is a great service if you want to listen to entire albums of your choice, but the free streaming runs at only 150K. I think, though I'm not sure, that their pay service runs much material at 320K and is affordably priced as I recall.
