Multiple sources have said that Google allegedly secured content rights from almost all the major music labels over the past few weeks. All this is going towards a new service that Google is starting up supposedly called ‘Google Audio’ which is a kind of a basic name but fits the spot right. This service is going to start out in the United States but it is said that it could go global.
“We’re still gathering details, but our understanding is the service will be very different to the Google China music download service that they launched in 2008,” the report said. “That service, which is only available in China, allows users to search for music and download it for free.”
One thing that is unknown is whether or not the new service would provide purchase and download of content, like iTunes, or another format, like streaming and no downloading or something of that nature.
This service will be essential to devices such as the MyTouch, Android, and any other device that is powered by or incorporated with Google.
There is a little hate heating up as well because the Google Voice app was never accepted by Apple and also a Google board member declined saying “We love the iPhone.” So this whole battle is just going to get better when this new service comes out but honestly I don’t think anything will ever beat iTunes but that’s just my thought.
So what do you think of this new program/service? Will it end up beating out iTunes?
I think that as long as artist’s agree to giving music for free its alright
you think it will beat out iTunes?
