Google Launches Music Search Feature

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on December 15, 2005 - 9:39am.
Mountain View, Calif. - Google on Thursday introduced a new music search feature, which aims to provide more relevant results when users are searching for music-related information. Users enter names of bands, artists, albums or songs on Google Music, and receive music-related results at the top of the page. The results will include album cover art, reviews and links to retailers including iTunes, Amazon.com and eMusic. The company said the service currently skews toward popular U.S. artists, but will be expanded to encompass classical and lesser-known artists worldwide. "This has been one of the longstanding unfilled user needs," Marissa Mayer, Google's vice president of search products and user experience, told News.com. "We saw a search need where we weren't providing users with the highest-quality results that we could." Mayer added that Google isn't planning to launch its own digital music store.
