We long been proponents of subscription music, though it’s regularly the rocky relationship: Rhapsody’s excellent preference but bad app as well as distressing web player (you call which a bitrate?), Zune’s pleasing UI though Windows-only-ness, as well as Spotify’s one after another inability to work in the US. Eventually, this particular writer drifted over to MOG, which was initially the $5 a month web-only use, most appropriate well known for its tall bitrate as well as decent preference, with the more recent pierce to Android as well as iPhone apps (including offline play) for the still-palatable $10 a month price. Unfortunately, all this time we’ve had to put up with a indignities of the pop-up, window-based Flash player for our categorical MOG experience, that crashes any browser upon a Mac at slightest once the day — similar to many Flash things upon a Mac. Which brings us to currently: MOG is a featured app on Google’s brand-new Chrome Web Store, as well as once “installed” it offers an all-new palatable, speedy, HTML5 UI for MOG. Better yet, the web app additionally works in Safari during mog.com/chrome. Under the hood there’s still the “headless” Flash playback element for DRM purporses, though all else is a immeasurable improvement. The only thing that could have us happier would be some arrange of exfm-style Chrome prolongation for adding music we find on a web to MOG playlists. You know, as long as we’re removing lifelong dreams granted similar to this, might as well go for pennyless.
