Is there an app for that?

Thanks for pointing out MOG. I'm trying out the free service and the sound quality is quite good. The paid service levels appear similar to Spotify, with mobile access available at the premium level.

Finding classical music in both Spotify and MOG is much more of a trial and error process than in Naxos Music Library. NML was designed for classical music. The other two are designed primarily for popular music, but with inventive persistence there is a lot to be discovered.

One surprising thing about MOG: Many of the Naxos historical recordings are available from that service. They are NOT available through NML because of copyright restraints in the United States.

I found this fairly recent two part detailed review comparing Spotify and MOG:

Spotify has a Classify app on it which I like using.

MOG is available in the US and is certainly worth the money. Last fall I compared the two and selected MOG over Spotify mainly on sound quality. The might be reversed today. MOG claims to have 16 million songs. The negative to MOG is their search engine for classical is poor and requires persistence.

I signed up for MOG and I'm loving it. I can use it on my iPad and also on my tv (Roku has an MOG channel). I'm streaming Gershwin Plays Gershwin: The Piano Rolls now!
