(Reuters) – Google Inc unveiled a new online music store on Wednesday, in a move to challenge the dominance of market leaders Apple Inc and Amazon.com Inc
The new service feature millions of songs from record labels EMI, Sony Music and Universal, but will not have music from Warner Group, the fourth of the major record labels.
Google, which introduced the service at an event at the Mr. Brainwash Studios in Hollywood, California on Wednesday, said consumers in the United States will be able to purchase the music through its Android Market, which offers smartphone apps, electronic books and videos.
To help jumpstart the new music store, Google said it will offer one free song for consumers to download everyday.
