Digital Marketing is Our Forte

Google have just released their Google Music Search service. Its all part of their Universal search efforts in a bid to make search more relevant. The idea behind Google Music Search is brilliant – according to Google when you search for a song, artist, album or even lyrics you should expect to find more relevant results like audio previews provided by Lala or MySpace (who have acquired iLike).

I unfortunately could not personally test it as it is gradually being rolled across the U.S. first before it hits this side of the pond. But here is a video that shows what it can do.

I am keen to know if Google would be selling or collaborating with music stores like iTunes to actually sell music.

Also What would Google Music do to combat music piracy? I mean as much as they say on their blog that you would be provided key links to tracks from Green Day’s new album when you search for “21st century breakdown” (their new album title), do they know when you search for “21st century breakdown rar” you get search results with downloads of pirated versions of the “21st century breakdown” album?

And really in this day and age, if I want to sample music, I head straight to Spotify first.

It’s still smart idea to make music related searches richer though.
