Weird how things can turn. Just a few days ago we posted about the fact that Google does have the resources to start its very own Music service and behold, Techcrunch announces today that Google will soon launch a music service. The company has spent the last few weeks securing content for the launch of the service from the major music labels and is according to what Muztec learned also speaking to the major indie music download aggregators in order to add some quality as well besides quantity 
.
The name for the service apparently would be Google Audio. So far Google did not activate www.google.com/audio or audio.google.com so it remains to be seen if that is correct. It’s not exactly a virgin path for Google as it has already launched the Google China music download service back in 2008. Only available in China, it allows users to search for music and download it for free. All revenue comes from the ads clicked upon by people searching for music.
Download or streaming service, or both, none of it is known. More news as we get it.
