Every time you buy, you can share to Google+ right from the purchase confirmation screen. Shared music can be heard in its entirety by your friends for free.

There will also be a free song every day, and not just by unknowns, but big names like David Bowie. There will also be some exclusive tracks, including live concerts from the Rolling Stones and Coldplay, and a new studio album from Bustah Rhymes. There are free concerts available from Shakira and Pearl Jam.

Finally Google Launches Music Store | Google Music

Google offers free storage of users' own collection, with two caveats. First, you have to upload the collection to Google's servers, a one-time effort that could take a few hours depending on the size of the collection. Second, that free offer is limited to 20,000 tracks; this shouldn't be an issue for most users.

Songs sold from Google Music are in DRM-free MP3 format and encoded at 320 Kbps. Apple's purchased music (and matched songs in iTunes Match) are 256 Kbps AAC format. I'd say the two are roughly equivalent in quality, though the Google songs might be a bit bigger from a file size perspective. Song prices on both services vary somewhat, with Google's ranging from 99 cents to $1.29.

Google offers some integration with its Google+ social networking service, while Apple offers the similarly uninteresting Ping service. Heads up, guys. We all share stuff on Facebook.

Of course, each service takes a very proprietary bent. Apple's is available on iOS devices--iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone, and on Macs and PCs via the iTunes software, which is lackluster on the PC in particular. Google's is available primarily on Android devices; users with PCs or Macs must use the web.

Google Music is currently available only to consumers in the United States. It's unclear when international markets will come online, but given the slow pace at record companies and the varying rights per market, it could take some time.

Regardless, the question here is whether Google has something that can stand up to Apple's iTunes juggernaut. As you may know, Apple's blockbuster online store has recently been augmented by iCloud, which stores all iTunes music and TV show purchases for customers in the cloud, and iTunes Match, a $25 per year service that provides a high-quality duplicate of the rest of customers' music libraries in the cloud.

In the end, consumers should use both as required. For example, there's no reason for a diehard iTunes user not to go grab the free music Google is offering this week, even if they intend to keep using Apple's devices and services going forward. This is yet another time when choice benefits users, who can sit on the sidelines and benefit while two corporate behemoths go at it in the marketplace.

WOW! What a good News: Google Launches Music Store, Takes on iTunes

Google Music is about discovering, purchasing, sharing and enjoying digital music in new, innovative and personalized ways," Google senior vice president for mobile Andy Rubin wrote in a blog post announcing the service. "We automatically sync your entire music library—both purchases and uploads—across all your devices so you don't have to worry about cables, file transfers or running out of storage space. We'll keep your playlists [intact], too  ... whether you're on your laptop, tablet or phone. You can even select the specific artists, albums and playlists you want to listen to when you're offline."

It's notable that Mr. Rubin was credited for the post announcing Google Music, and he runs Google's mobile business and is the person most directly responsible for the Android platform. So it's not coincidental that Google Music is very much tied to Android.

For example, the Google Music store is primarily available via the Android Market, though schlepping non-Android users can bring up a version of the Android Market in a web browser like the second-class citizens they are. As with purchases at Apple's iTunes Store, music purchases from the Android Market are automatically stored in Google's Music service in the cloud. And users can stream or download songs from this service to Android devices, as can iTunes users with Apple devices.

The store is reasonably well-stocked with 13 million songs, a bit below Zune Marketplace and well below the iTunes Store. But that's because one of the major music labels, Warner Music, has refused to sign on for now.

To celebrate the launch, Google is offering some free tunes from bands such as The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Busta Rhymes, and others. Visit the aforementioned blog post for a complete list and links to individual songs and albums. (And check out a related Free Songs page on the web version of the Android Market for other free picks.)

Without Sony and Warner Google Music Launching

Google wants to offer first-class music and movie services to users of Android, the company's powerhouse mobile operating system.  Google's early history with content owners was largely acrimonious. Most notably was Viacom's accusations in a $1 billion copyright suit it filed against Google that the company encouraged YouTube users to post pirated clips to the site. But the company has done much the past two years to improve ties to content creators.




Google is set to launch an online music locker service to allow users to store and access their songs wherever they are, similar to one launched by Amazon.com Inc in March. And like the Amazon Cloud Drive player, Google music service is being introduced on Tuesday without any prior licensing deals with major music labels, following months of fruitless negotiations.

Google has been working on a music service as a feature of its Android mobile operating system to better compete with iTunes, which is the anchor of Apple Inc's content services.

Amazon's service caused a furor in the music industry because it had not reached any licensing agreements with major music companies: Vivendi's Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and EMI Group.

First Google+ feature launches Google for big name brands

Businesses will be able to set up their own Google+ accounts with the feature, which is the social network's first big venture into an area currently dominated by Facebook.
Google has launched its first Google+ feature for big-name brands and businesses to interact with customers
Burberry, Pepsi and Chelsea FC are among the big names to launch a Google+ Page, with marketing messages that will feature in Google's dominant search results.

The move is Google's first large-scale attempt to endear its fledgling social network to marketers and advertisers, after it attracted more than 40 million users worldwide since launching in September.Facebook, which connects brands to its hundreds of millions of users through the "Like" button, is estimated to have generated $1.6bn in revenue in the first half of this year, most of which was through advertising.Google+ users can follow their favourite brands and companies by adding them to so-called "circles" alongside existing friends on the website. Using a new "Direct Connect" feature, users will be able to search for a brand at Google.com using the "+" prefix and be taken to the relevant Google+ page, if it exists. For example, a Google search for "+Pepsi" should take users to the Pepsi Google+ page.

Announcing the changes on Google's official blog, Vic Gundotra, senior vice-president of engineering, said: "So far Google+ has focused on connecting people with other people. But we want to make sure you can build relationships with all the things you care about – from local businesses to global brands – so today we're rolling out Google+ Pages worldwide.

Google's Algorithm Footwork for Quality Publishers

The best "trick" may be to ignore the algorithms and focus on providing quality content, suggested Melanie Rembrandt of Rembrandt Communications. "Those who provide valuable content to their target market will always be rewarded.






 Google is introducing a change to its search algorithm that will impact some 35 percent of searches on the Internet.Google Search uses a freshness algorithm, designed to give you the most up-to-date results, so even when I just type [olympics] without specifying 2012, I still find what I'm looking for," he explained.

Marketing Manipulation 

For marketers, the change means coming to grips with yet another in a long string of Google algorithm adjustments. Google has been tinkering with its Panda algorithm, which it launched earlier this year to weed out content farms. It also began encrypting searches and outbound clicks.
Most recently, it placed a value on JavaScript items -- such as Facebook comments -- that never carried weight in the algorithms before, Donnini said.

A Big Adjustment 

Google's freshness algorithm update will require a significant amount of rethinking on the part of publishers.

Three main areas of focus are outlined in Singhal's blog post:

• Recent events or hot topics. People searching for Occupy Wall Street, for example, will find the latest new, possibly even minutes old.
• Regularly recurring events, such as annual conferences or presidential elections. "Without specifying with your keywords, it's implied that you expect to see the most recent event, and not one from 50 years ago," Singhal wrote. Now, the algorithm ensures the latest information comes up first.
• Frequent updates -- that is, information that changes often but isn't a hot topic or a recurring event, such as best camera products or new car models.

Google+ Launches Pages, Opens Floodgates For Brands

Now Google+ Pages are officially launching, and it’s good news all around.
The first thing Horowitz did was to rattle off some stats: the service launched a little over 100 days ago, now has 40 million users and 3.4 billion photos uploaded, and has launched over one hundred new features. Not a bad start. Onto the Pages.

Google+ is taking another major step needed toward becoming a full-fledged Facebook rival: it’s launching Google+ Pages, which allow brands, products, companies, businesses, places, groups, and everyone else to establish a presence on the service. The product is a lot like Facebook Pages, but there’s one major difference: Google is baking some elements of Google+ Pages deep into its bread-and-butter search product.

It’s been a rocky road getting here. As you may recall, when Google+ first launched, Google asked brands and publishers not to create pages for their own sites, promising that there would be an official solution coming shortly. Not everyone heeded Google’s request (and, in hindsight, TechCrunch shouldn’t have either), but rather than apply its own rules, Google started making exceptions. A lot of people got upset, a new TechCrunch employee was spawned (and unceremoniously banned), and Google SVP Vic Gundotra later went on to say that the ordeal “was probably a mistake“.

Today, we find out why: when a user goes to Google and types in ‘+TechCrunch’, they’re asked if they’d like to add TechCrunch to one of their Google+ circles. If they say yes, then this behavior becomes automatic: I could type in +Harry Potter + Android and immediately start following the Pages for both of those pages, assuming they existed. Of course, this behavior isn’t exactly natural. But Horowitz points out that brands could start advertising it — it’s not hard to imagine a trailer closing with ‘+MovieTitle’, the same way they do with the ‘Like us on Facebook’ badges.
Google is describing this feature as Direct Connect to the brands it’s working with. If you want to set it up, you need to create your Google+ Page, then add a snippet of code to the associated official website of your brand (or publisher, or whatever). Once Google’s crawlers ‘see’ this code, which may take a while, the connection will be verified and users will be able to use the ‘+’ feature in Google search.
Update: Apparently only some users can create Google Pages for the time being — you can see if your account is enabled right here.

Obama Gambit Google's Miscalculated

Google's earnings knocked one out of the park last week but in other areas, things aren't going as well. Over the last few weeks, Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) Chairman Eric Schmidt had to testify in front of Congress that Google wasn't like Microsoft, and the rules that applied to that company didn't apply to his.
