Music-streaming services aren't exactly anything new, but it's taken a few years to get to the point where they could really change the game. Despite not making too much money and even some services shutting down, there seems to be an endless stream of new products to take their places. One that has been generating some amount of hype lately is MOG All Access coming from the MOG music blogging network. The service is now set to launch on December 2 and it looks like it may be a worthy competitor for Spotify, which is yet to launch in the US.

The service has been shaping up for the past couple of months and, by the looks of it, will be one of the top streaming services out there. It has all the best features from other services, but it also has several interesting, new tools. The player is web-based and allows users to play any song in the catalogue, which looks to be extensive, as it has support from all the major labels, add them to their library, playlists, and so on, all the usual things.

It also has an interesting radio feature, not exactly something completely new, but with a couple of twists. It starts out as a radio station that plays songs just from the artist the users select. The users can jump to any song in the queue but, if they want a little diversity, they can start up songs from other artists as well by moving a slider, which controls the number of new artists that get mixed in.

Right now, the only downside to the service is the $5-a-month fee. It's lower than what similar services offer, but, then again, it's $5 more than what Spotify and a couple of others are charging. However, with Spotify very possibly ditching the free model for the US launch or at least launching a stripped-down version compared with the European one and with other free services either shutting down or introducing fees, MOG is beginning to look appealing all of a sudden.
