I am (was?) a fairly happy MOG subscriber. Some thoughts:

1. No way to transfer my MOG playlists and favorite bands/songs? That sucks.

2. Tried to sign in through the AT&T family plan for 90-day free trial. Got a text with a code, which AT&T says was accepted, and Beats says was not. ???

3. No web-only option for $5/month. I suppose that was too much to hope for.

4. No information about how the 5-person family plan works. Do we share one login (and favorite bands)? I hope not; we have very different tastes.

This service seems really half-baked. Might end up being good, but for the moment is behind were MOG was, which is pretty bad. MOG was basically a zombie service for the last few months, as they obviously had all their attention focused on this launch. The web interface never had basic stuff like their featured playlists.

Here's to hoping they get it all ironed out.

The AT&T trial ($15/mo) .. once you complete the trial, do you begin paying Beats? Or AT&T? Is it included on your data plan, or does it supersede? This whole thing strikes me as ... shady. But everything about the Beats brand strikes me as shady.
