When You Can Create an OS, Why Not a Music Store?

After creating the popular Android OS it has been reported that Google s looking forward to open its own music store to compete with previously available services as the iTunes from Apple and the Amazon MP3 from Amazon.

The news is from the blog, Media Decoder, on New York Times. It is reported that Google is negotiating with eminent record labels so that it can open its very own music store. It is also being said that Google aimed to announce their store before the Apple’s iTunes Match. But it couldn’t do so because the deals with the record labels weren’t closed then.

The blog says:

Five months after it introduced a cloud music service with limited capabilities, Google is in negotiations with the major record labels to expand that service and also open an MP3 store that would compete with Apple and Amazon. According to numerous music executives, Google is eager to open the store in the next several weeks.

If this happens and Google launch their music store it is expected that it will be deeply integrated with their existing Music Beta Service. The service was announced in May, which allows the users to back up their songs to Google’s servers and then stream it on their Android devices or any other browsers which support the Adobe Flash.

It would most likely be connected to Google’s existing cloud service, Music Beta, which lets people back up their songs on remote servers and stream them to mobile phones and other devices, said these executives, who all spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were private and continuing.

The Music Beta is of course in its beta stage right now with limited access to only US residents but it is expected to open up this October in Google’s and Samsung joint event which in which Google is expected to announce their Google Nexus Prime.

Amazon and Apple provide excellent services to their customers through their media stores. That isn’t the same on the Android so it will definitely be a good thing to open up their own music store which will provide Google’s customers the same facilities.

For the time being Google has not commented on the report.
