Google launches rival to Apple’s iTunes - no not horses

6 Months ago

Google's share price is down a point today following news that they are launching a rival to iTunes. (Not sure the price fall is related?).

Google launched its long-awaited rival to Apple's iTunes service on Wednesday with a free music streaming service and cloud-based locker capable of playing tracks through web browsers or to Android-based mobile devices.

The company has signed licensing deals with three of the four big music labels – Vivendi's Universal Music, Sony Music Entertainment, and EMI – but has yet to agree terms with the fourth, Warner Music. It has also signed hundreds of independent labels and will have the rights to stream as many as 13m tracks.
