"The global Web search leader will provide users who want to sample a song with a pop-up box that will play at least a 30-second segment -- in some cases the entire song -- provided by iLike and Lala, which will then offer links to purchase the music."
Google has officially launched Google Music, a search engine that lets you find songs that you want. Google Music will let you search by almost anything related to music, from lyrics to the artist to the album name. You can listen to sound clips, find out more information about the artist or even buy songs through iLike or Lala. There are quite a few companies behind this new venture, though in my eagerness to test it, I found very disappointing results. This is most likely a result of that pesky issue called licensing, so for those of you in the States, how is it? The video sure does make it look pretty, but real experience is worth far more.
