Mountain View,
Calif. - Google (NASD: GOOG) announced on Wednesday
the launch of a new music-focused search feature, "OneBox," which
adds streaming songs via Lala and MySpace's (NYSE: NWS) iLike, along with links to an
artist's website. Along with Lala and iLike, Google will also include links to
digital music services Pandora, imeem and Rhapsody (NASD: RNWK). The feature will in many
cases allow users to listen to the full song they are searching for right there
from the search results page; licensing issues mean that some songs will only
feature 30-second samples, and that subsequent searches after a song is streamed
in full once will only provide a 30-second sample.
