Search giant Google has entered the online music market with a new service for finding and buying music online.
"Google users who put the name of a song into the search engine will get, as the top result, information about the musician and an opportunity to stream the song from one of two services, Lala and MySpace Music. People who click on that link will, in most cases, get a pop-up window that allows them to play the full song once, free, and a link to buy the song." According to Google, the words "music" and "lyrics" are among the top 10 search terms of all time. " it is not in Sri Lanka yet! SAD :(
Sadly the service is still US only. The US-only service allows people to search using song titles, artists or using snippets of lyrics.
When users search using OneBox music service a pop-up widget powered by iLike or Lala offers to play the entire song.
A MySpace box allows people to buy MP3s of the tracks and also highlights music videos and other information, such as upcoming concerts by the artists.
