The only other service with comparable selection and sound quality is Spotify and it seems they don't support BMW Apps either.

I have been trying Rhapsody today as a replacement. The BMW Apps integration is quite good. The challenge with Rhapsody is that it has a lower bit rate - either 192 or 256kbps. It's not terrible, but I notice the difference and it bugs me a little.

Any other ideas? What are you guys doing?

Count me among the MOG users who is not going with Beats. For now, it's Rhapsody even though it has a lower bit rate.

Received from Beats

Thanks for contacting Beats Music Support. I understand how frustrating it can be to no longer have a dedicated BMW app for your favorite songs you'd love to hear on the go, but I am here to help. At the time Beats Music doesn't have a dedicated BMW app. But we hope too soon expand our platforms to BMW. Please feel free to contact Feedback@Beatsmusic.com for all enhancement request. Please keep in mind if your car has an AUX port you can always download the app to your mobile device and plug up the AUX cord to your car's AUX port. Streaming music from your device through your cars speakers.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us back via phone or you can reply back to this email. For faster support, visit our knowledge base! https://support.beatsmusic.com/hc/en-us 1-800-442-4000 EXT. 2

Nice. I can't drive my car right now have a nail in the sidewall.. so couldn't play around with it too much.

How does it sound? Is the audio quality equal to MOG?

Being a bunch of slackers they haven't integrated with BMW apps. Don't think they have 320kbps either.

Read my posts above. He was just confirming deezer sounds like it's pushing out @320/Kbps. Which is the rate they advertise.

So in other words, deezer is essentially a MOG replacement. Very similar features, iDrive app, 320 quality. This is all good news.

Workaround for US listening is above.

Not sure if all of you used the VPN work around to sign up for Deezer, but here's the good news.

For the last 1-2 months I haven't used VPN. Deezer is now accepting connections from the US.

Also they are offering sound quality in 1411kbps with a SONOS system. In car (cable/cradle connection) is 320kbps which is what MOG was and sounds good.

Looks like Deezer is prepping for a full launch in the US, finally. New iOS app update came out today too with better UI.

FYI you can set Deezer app to program as a # button below the iDrive. Have to highlight it then hold and press down any of the programmable number buttons. If you select Deezer and try to program that won't work.

Yes I have been using Deezer with a U.S. Account after they offered it to Sonos customers.

I am a bit torn. I like that it offers 1411 in the home, but the ability to download curated playlists on Spotify is much better.
