My question is what music subscription service should I use? I've looked at Rdio, Rhapsody, and MOG. I features I want are local caching, good quality both cached and streaming (192kb would be good I believe), streaming of course, a good app, and for ten dollars a month.
Please tell me what you use, iPod touch or iPhone.
Question about
I'm planning to buy a 32gb one quite soon. It looks great and I'm very excited except for the sub par camera.
Am getting the same model. I use an iPhone 3G. I use Pandora sometimes but mostly I just listen to stuff downloaded. I know this won't help much but i think Pandora is pretty good and its free. :)

I believe all three services offer the features you are looking for though I couldn't tell you in regards to what rate the streaming music is at (the Rdio faq mentions cached MP3s being 256kbs). I've played with both MOG and Rdio on the desktop and I never noticed a difference in audio quality between the two.
With that said they all offer full-featured trials and I would suggest taking them all for a spin. The thing you should pay attention more than anything else though is the catalog of music each service provides. One service may have artists or albums that the other doesn't and if a service is not going to have the artists that you like then there's not much point in subscribing to it even though it may have better features than the other (of course, if that changes it's very easy to switch from one service to the other). The web UI's are also very different between the services and that may have a major influence in your choice as well (I prefer MOG over Rdio).

I got the iPod Touch 4G 32GB for my birthday. All of those subscription services suck! I use Pandora Radio and Slacker Radio for free.
