From Lifehacker, this morning:
“MOG is an interesting type of music streaming service, with a Pandora-style "radio" feature from which you can save playlists, link to your desktop players, and more. Their free plan is similarly unique: instead of just giving you free, ad-supported access to the site, you "earn" free music by listening, sharing with friends, making playlists, and using MOG's features. The more you play with MOG, the more free music you can earn. Their premium subscription plans are still there, with access to the desktop client, mobile apps, and more, but now those uninterested in paying can get access to MOG's awesome service.

This article followed the mogblog announcement [ http://blog.mog.com/post?num=638183703 ]:
“In our quest to provide the most awesome music experience for music lovers nationwide, we’re launching a free, ad-supported version of our award-winning music service later today, for listeners who are new to MOG to get a taste of our high quality audio, 12 million song catalog, and awesome customizable MOG Radio. The free version will be ad-free for the first 60 days so users can enjoy the experience without any distractions.”
So, if you’re interested, go for it! One problem... it's only in the USA. Sorry about that, as I think it's a bad move on their part.
