I was reading the comments of the Techcrunch article and someone mentioned Grooveshark: tried it out today and within in seconds I was listening to all my favorite songs without signing up. Of course within minutes I signed up because I wanted to save my playlist. UI was extremely clean, fast, and intuitive and worked excellently in my outdated Firefox browser on linux.

Just now I went to mog.com... "discover music through people and people through music"... and "where music listens to you"... and "Better Than Rhapsody, Pandora and iTunes... Combined.". Lame first impression.

I click "Try it free"... but I have to enter my email, screenname, password twice, TOC checkbox, and a captcha. screw it! Then I'll have to pay later?

Of course, will Grooveshark the Audiogalaxy (but better) of 2009 survive as it is today?

And as far as long-tail catalog depth... I'll need some more man-hours to see how deep it goes, I'm assuming Mog will be deeper and have better discovery features. I mean you have to pay money for it, it has to be better in some way I guess.
