right on, spotify used to have some floyd.. now its just floyd+ish
I hate to revive a dead thread but its better than starting a new one...
I have a Spotify Premium account and loved it until I got my Dragonfly DAC/amp for Christmas. Though they claim 'extreme' quality on 99.9% of their songs I find that this no to be the case; quality varies too widely to be true. I have played around with MOG for a few minutes and the interface is frustrating compared to the simple layout of Spotify. Was curious if anyone compared them to each other or Rdio recently as all reliable threads/review are pretty old.
Also having technical problems with both MOG and Spotfiy not buffering/loading right. My connection runs over 24 Mbps so who knows.
(Edit) After signing up for a second account because apparently I can't push my current free MOG account up to a full 7 day trial. They would rather me create a new account with another email on my phone. They also claimed when I created my original account that I would be doing a full trial but neither the desktop or Android app wouldn't work because I needed a primo account. So I set it up through the Android app for a 7 day trial, burning yet another email account. I now fully appreciate how cool the Spotify app is. The MOG app is ugly, clunky and confusing and the web player can't seem to hold a buffer with Chrome. BUT it sounds a whole heck of a lot better in a lot of cases. In the more popular tracks its more or less equal with a small nod toward MOG. I may try Rdio and update tomorrow... If no one replies I may end up creating a new thread with my thoughts.

Promotion ends in 11 days as of this post. Enjoy
I've been using Spotify Premium since it was available in Australia. I also have quite an extensive FLAC collection. I can't hear a difference. I've tried, but with my equipment (not bad at all), 320 and lossless are indistinguishable and I believe a lot of the differences people 'hear' are placebo.
