Google will launch a music store

Not in the sense that musical instruments will be sold in this store, but in the sense that a unique online music store will be created. According to Google’s vice president, Andy Rubin, you can listen to the song first, and then, if you like everything, buy the song by downloading it to your computer. Let me remind you that more recently, Google launched a service on YouTube, where you can view about 400 films released before 1995. In addition, it was announced its intention to launch an online cinema, where any film that has recently appeared on the screens of cinemas could be viewed for a fee (about 5 cu). Now, as you can see, Google is going to “take wing” and music.

The working title of the project, as you might guess, is Google Music, and this music store from the Good Corporation is a direct competitor to Apple's iTunes. True, this service will be “sharpened” on devices running Android OS. Andy Rubin claims that the project was designed to expand the functionality of the application system of the mentioned operating system and another operating system, Google ChromeOS. Now the company is actively negotiating with copyright holders, which for the most part are record companies.

Despite the fact that negotiations are ongoing, so far no contracts have been concluded, and there are no signed contracts yet. True, knowing Google’s ability to negotiate, there is no doubt that even in this case, obstacles to the corporation if they arise, it’s certainly not due to the refusal of copyright holders.

Developers from Google started creating their own store because now for the Android platform there is simply nothing like that - and users of mobile devices either download music from home PCs or buy it in third-party online stores. It is clear that the company is not happy with this situation. All the music laid out in the store will either be available for listening or for downloading - these are exactly the monetization models of the Google Music service that will be used.

So, this service should appear before the end of November this year - so the owners of Android-based devices, and simply admirers of Google and its services, can be satisfied. It is hoped that the prices in the store will not be too high so that you can buy anything you like.
