It is 320kbps MP3.
Personally I find 320kbps MP3 virtually indistinguishable from uncompressed 16/44.1k CD. As in I have never heard any reliable difference---perhaps if somebody had some particular musical segments with very broad-band high frequencies (cymbals, e.g.) which are very hard to compress, one could hear it. But once the butt goes on the couch, I wouldn't ever notice for normal music if I didn't know the difference.
The perceptual difference between 128kpbs and 320kpbs MP3 is, to me, substantially bigger than 320kbps to 1440kbps (uncompressed).
The technical problems with MOG is not in the perceptual coding, but the buffering and problems with network outages. Pandora has a better download-then-play buffering scheme. With MOG when listening to an album there is a 2-3 second gap between each track, which is maddening for opera (which often has track boundaries entirely in the middle of continuous music---Pandora gets this right but for classical has a much smaller catalog).
Still, I think MOG is great for the cost.
