Google is always working to improve the way you use the internet, and now they've turned their attention towards online music searches. The new Google Music will provide you with free streams of songs, links to buy, and a lyrics database (though the people at MTV.com report that this particular cog of the machine could use some further tinkering).Looking to apply their powerful search engine to the world of music, Google officially launched their new music discovery service. Not so much a new site as it is a new set of integrated options added to normal search results, Google Music connects people searching for artists, songs or lyrics with free streams of tracks care of MySpace's iLike and Lala and with links to purchase songs and albums from one of Google Music's partners.
"Music is a big part of our lives. In fact, two of our top 10 queries of all time are music related," explains the introductory video on Google Music's home page. "We think it's time to bring the power of our search to the music industry, so that you can not only find but also discover music."
Gotta love those folks at Google. Once the bugs are worked out, this should be a pretty helpful tool. How many times have you been looking for a song, but weren't sure that you were downloading/buying the correct version that you had heard? Personally, I'm anxious for the day when they come out with "Google Dating," where you can find out all of the things you really want to know about a girl (Is she crazy? Is she clean? Has she ever been in jail? Does she cook? Is she freaky? Is she too freaky to wife? Is she too freaky not to wife?) before you ever ask her out. But I'm a dreamer.
