Music Station Comparison - MOG vs Rdio
The way we consume our media has shifted drastically with the rise in popularity of smartphones and the availability of fast internet connections wherever we are. This is especially true of audio, with streaming music rather than buying individual tracks becoming ever more popular, but what options are available to do this. We look at a couple of the most popular music streaming services to see how good they are and if streaming is a complete solution in itself. Here's the comparison on MOG vs Rdio.
Part 1. The Differences between MOG and Rdio
#1. MOG
MOG is a website that offers music streaming to your internet capable devices, whether mobile, laptop or desktop. With over 16 million tracks, the ability to craft your own playlists, or for a mix tune into the preset radio stations that can focus on music style or even individual artists. It includes some social aspects as well, allowing you to share your favorite tracks or playlists with friends so they can give them a try too.
#2. Rdio
Rdio is the other popular website for music streaming, using ads to fund the free version; it is available via apps for your mobile device, or the website itself as well as a windows or OS X app for desktops and laptops. With a catalogue of over 30 million tracks it is by far the most comprehensive of this kind of service, and works around the concept of stations where you can listen to tunes from genres, styles or artists.
