Beats Music App will supersede the current MOG App.

Overall, I like the new Beats App a lot. Make sure you take the time to set it up in the beginning. Has a lot of features to get "good music" on quickly. Navigating the app is better. Has all the same features and abilities plus some more. That was important to me, everything else is a bonus.

Haven't tested the Beats App with iDrive yet. Whatever the case, I am sure BMW will update it. Any updates or additions to iDrive Connected Drive Apps always get pushed out to everyone. If they pair this with an upgraded iDrive App, the M5 will be maybe the best car to listen to music in.

_______________________________

Introducing Beats Music.
Thanks sincerely for your loyalty to MOG. It means everything to us that you stuck with us while we created the next generation of streaming music services, Beats Music, using the great foundation of the MOG team and product. As you may know, Beats purchased MOG more than a year ago because we too were in love with its fidelity, simplicity, and mobile capabilities. Our goal was to go a step beyond where MOG or any other service had gone, to be more than a server, to be of service to the listener. We wanted to build an app that helped us discover music the way we discover music, through trusted curators, but that uses computers for what they are good at, personalizing an experience to bring the right song, right now.

The result is Beats Music, an app now available for iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile, Web, and Sonos, an app that not only has all the on-demand subscription features you came to love in MOG but also more ways to find the right song to listen to right now than any other app on the planet. With Beats Music you should always be one hand and a maximum of five seconds away from something great to listen to without needing to think or type in a search box. If you'd like to search or build your own playlist, please do. But on those many moments when you are looking for a quick fix, Beats Music delivers.

What's the deal with AT&T?
Exclusively with AT&T, you can get the Beats Music Family Plan with 5 accounts across 10 devices for $14.99/month and a 3 month trial. Individual Plans with AT&T will be $9.99/month with a one month trial.

Will MOG shut down?
Yes. After April 15th, MOG will no longer be available in the US. Monthly billing will stop on March 15th and yearly subscriptions will be refunded on a prorated basis. Between now and then we will offer tools to help make your transition easier. Stay tuned for more information on those tools.

Does my MOG account transfer over or do I have to start over with Beats?

Looks like MOG subscription ends mid April. Last payment being the month before.

Either you will need to create a new account, or Beats will transfer accounts and enroll everyone in a free trial.. Sounds like they don't have anything planned yet. Probably waiting to see what the conversion rate will be and plan accordingly to get the rest on the new app.

If you use MOG you should probably download the Beats app and register. All new accounts get a 7 day free trial. Take advantage of the ATT promo if you use ATT as your carrier. Just use your phone number when you create an account, they send you a text with a code, and you use that code to redeem 30 days free trial.

It does not work with idrive at all , and your downloaded songs / playlists do not port over . A total fail in my opinion .
