In this photo made Aug. 3, 2010, two mobile phones are seen in San Francisco. If you want to hear whatever you want, whenever you want it, your best bet is a Web-based subscription music service. Two new ones are hoping to capture your attention and your dollars: Rdio, which was created by the founders of popular Internet phone service Skype, seen on the screen on the phone on the left, and MOG, which comes from the team behind a music blog of the same name. Both let you listen to an unlimited amount of high-quality tunes online and on your smart phone for $10 per month, and also let you connect to like-minded listeners, a tempting proposition, but still kind of pricey considering the appeal of some free alternatives.
