Google is reportedly launching a new web service that could twine Google as a strong competitor to online music giants. Likely to be called as “Google Audio”, this Google web service is certainly going to be a highly acclaimed music extravaganza, by all justifiable presumption.

It (Google Audio) is aimed at bringing music streaming and free music downloads to the world, several web sources have confirmed it but Google. Google will be allegedly integrating direct music search and stream feature in its already dynamic Google Search. What does that mean? Simple, it is.

When you are searching for a song in Google, the incarnation of Google Audio will let you directly stream or listen to free music you have searched for besides allowing you to download (unconfirmed yet) the same directly from Google .

Google Audio is in collaboration with other three music giants including the social music discovery site iLike, LaLa and MySpace. This means, you’ll now be able to search for music and directly stream (or download) it from Google.

Google Audio : Coming Soon

Maybe, Google Audio will include services for streaming music from Pandora and imeem or it may also include “buy” links to download music from Amazon. But sadly, even this is just an unconfirmed word (say rumor).

Official confirmations from Google or other parties involved in the web service have not surfaced yet, so, you’ll probably have to hold back for a little while, until Google Audio is on air (reported launch date is 28^th of October, this year).

Depending on the license each service has for a particular song, Google Audio’s playable search results will include either a 30-second sample or the entire song. Lala, for instance, already has licenses that allow visitors to third-party sites like Facebook, Pitchfork Media and Billboard to stream any of its 8.5 million songs once, in its entirety, for free, and will almost certainly do the same on Google.

Google Audio : Let’s Spin A Track

Google already dominates the web world with about 70 percent of its shares for search engine and the launch of Google Audio will do nothing but improve Google’s market exponentially in embarking towards a musical future, hopes high, if they could integrate it with the Android OS for providing music services just like Apple iTunes does.

We are afraid you’ll have to wait until we garner more information on Google Audio from some official sources. I’m already sensing the Please don’t stop the music vibes. Are you?
