Looking for Music? Just Google It!

"None of the companies involved will confirm the new Google Music service – we have “no comments” or absolute silence from Google, LaLa, MySpace and iLike. But the new service is all but confirmed. And we have the screenshots showing how the service, which will be announced on October 28, will look to prove it."
Full details on the rumoured Google Music are not out yet, but it appears that Google intends on integrating music and songs into search results. No, songs will not automatically start playing once you get to your search results, thank goodness, but Google will provide a box like the ones shown on TechCrunch which let you preview songs and buy them. I am not exactly sure how much usefulness this would be, except in maybe simplifying the music purchase process, saving you a few steps. Hopefully, Google will take this a step further and start offering more than just a slip streamed experience, or this might be one of those Google projects that never really took off.
