"It's a launch, but it's kind of like a work-in-progress."Īnalysts say selling online music is unlikely to provide much of a lift to Google's revenue. "They've got to get that catalog filled pretty quickly," said Mike McGuire, an analyst at industry research firm Gartner. The absence of Warner Music means Google Music will lack some famous names such as Led Zeppelin and Prince which are available on rival stores such as Apple's iTunes.
Song prices range from 69c to 99c and $1.29, the same as on Apple's iTunes. Songs are available in MP3 format encoded at 320Kbps. The Google Music offering comes with exclusive content from the Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Busta Rhymes, Shakira, Pearl Jam and the Dave Matthews Band. The service is not available outside the US because Google has not completed negotiations with record labels to allow it to sell songs elsewhere.
