Google Launching Music Search

2009-10-21 by Prophet178 | 25 Comments
New information has surfaced on Google's plans to get in on digital music distribution.

Last year Google launched a service in China that allowed users to search for music and download the song for free. The service for the rest of the world will be slightly different.

Instead of free downloads, Google will fetch the song the user searches for across various digital vendors (such as Lala and iLike), and feed them the results for free streaming and paid download.

As of now, the service is known as OneBox, and will only act as a web search, not a desktop client or iTunes-like storefront.

Google is expected to announce an official press release on October 28th.

Screenshots of OneBox can be seen at the links below.

I just hope this service being launched doesn't make the labels/google crack down on the blogs more.

Google isn't making the money though, the distributor is. The only reason Google is doing this is to maximize on ad revenue, they could care less where you actually get your music, as long as you're searching on Google.
