It'd be nice to at least be able to read MOG forums...but nope...must be a member. I could have been using this time to scan the forums for people with similar problems but I can only check when logged in. I posted in their forums about the problem but haven't been able to log back in (still waiting for a password reset email) to check. I won't give up last.fm b/c I like all the stats but they did fail at the commenting/posting/social part of the deal. MOG looks like they've picked up on that...too bad I can't play yet. (yeah, I know I'm whiney. I'm a whiner. Deal.) dang…forgot to add one more gripe…lol…

Its been hell. Never received a confirmation email so after awhile I gave the "forgot password" link a shot....it did send me an email with a link I could use to log in. Still no confirmation email. Sooo..every time I want to visit the site, I have to request a password change. And now only less than 1/2 of those emails are received. MOG-O-MATIC is working but after (finally) scanning my whole collection...there's only one widget working. Tried to crop my picture...no go. Redirected to an Ooops-like page 3 emails to support for help and no response..... I like the idea...but the execution so far in my book is one of the worst I've seen.

In this aspect, it's quite a long way ahead of the likes of Last.fm, FineTune or iLike. Ultimately, as long as it's possible to find what you're looking for, the visual design of a site is down to personal taste. In my very brief, initial look at Mog TV, there didn't seem to be any sound on the video I watched. When I clicked through to YouTube it worked fine. There didn't seem to be a volume control on the Mog site - this was on Firefox and Safari, on the latest version of OS X. I've yet to work out how useful this feature will be compared to just searching for your favourite artist directly on YouTube or using a service like <a href="http://www.foxytunes.com/planet" rel="nofollow">FoxyTunes Planet</a> which aggregates all sorts of web-based info into one homepage.

It's very cool. Forget that white background, organe/green/blue/red 2.0 boring stuff- you know one design, you know all. Mog has the guts to have a distinct design. And thus appeals to indivualists. MogTV is great stuff. Have to agree on the design.
It’s very cool.

Aggregating is cool, but any site can do it.

IMO nobody has a feature like MOG TV that I am aware of, I don't think iLike's video feature can really be compared.

I like the design of the site! At least it doesn't look like every other web 2.0 shiny white site out there. I agree with Kevin, MOGTV is totally different than iLike's offering. Hmm.

MOG and ilike having similar video features is the old news. MOGtv's nothing like anything ilike has. It's akin to a TV channel that is customizable to your tastes with zero effort. In fact it's so effortless that it's addictive! I’m also not exactly sure why MOGtv was compared to what ilike has. MOG and ilike having similar video features is the old news.
