So Engadget reports on the new guy on the block that can't Multitask.

Yet Rhapsody has been ahead of the game and just updated yesterday TO be able to multitask.]]>Jul 20th 2010 8:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/Unfortunately for these services, more and more young people care less and less about the entire album and just want to hear "songs". People were trained to be patient and enjoy an album from start to finish. There was usually a whole mood and feel associated with the entire album. This is lost when you jump around from song to song from different artists and albums. Its a subtle feeling, but something a few people still enjoy. I'm a little older and absolutely can not listen to my music on shuffle. I can't go from some deep, dark, depressing album to a disco dance beat then back down to talk of suicidal feelings. ]]>Jul 20th 2010 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/100% agree. I'm an album listener myself and I honestly believe mp3s killed the album in some way. It didn't kill it for me specifically, but the instant gratification resulting from the availability to pick and choose means a lot of songs go unheard. Songs that, if given the chance, could be way better than the popular ones or "singles."]]>Jul 20th 2010 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/Jul 20th 2010 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/Jul 20th 2010 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/Jul 20th 2010 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/
You missed the part where you can download the music to your phone- all you can eat- for $10/month.

IMO this is an unbelievable opportunity.

I really thought that Android multitasked out of the box, in a similar way to those old WinMo devices which hogged memory and resources, drained battery power, rendering the phone unusable.

I thought only the iPhone offered "real-world" developer-specific multi-tasking capabilities.

The iPhone's newly offered multitasking is almost an exact copy of Android's multitasking. The *only* real difference is that Apple reserves the right to arbitrarily deny the use of services in any random application.

On Android, like on the iPhone, you need to build long-running processes as services. UI activities are temporal, and while Android might let them hang around for a while, even giving them a bit of quanta, it kills them mercilessly frequently. That these jokers released an app that didn't manage even the most rudimentary of tasks tells me that their entire app is pretty dubious, so I won't be evaluating.]]>Jul 20th 2010 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/
Also, unrelated, but it's REALLY nice to finally see companies doing simultaneous android-iphone releases :)]]>Jul 20th 2010 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/Jul 20th 2010 8:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/

These services can still exist because they're accessible from your wireless device, easy (or should be), nice UI, and legal.

Either they're nowhere to be found, the quality is terrible. or I have to download a complete album or discography even though I'm only looking for a single song. I'd love a service like this if it had a large catalog, I even wouldn't mind paying for it, but then I also want to be able to move the tracks to other machines and not losing them when the subscription ends.]]>Jul 20th 2010 9:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/mog-arrives-on-iphone-android-with-7-8-million-songs-but-no-mul/

Even the latest 2.0.x version. It looks very nice , the design is allright, but navigating through the app is horrible. (Go do a search, play a song, then press back and guess what: you dont go back to your search like you would expect from a standard android app, you go back to your HOME SCREEN!
