Recording companies eager for Google to launch music service
We all know Google Music is coming, it's just a question of when - and what it'll look like, of course. According to Reuters, Google hopes to launch the service as early as December 2010. Citing unnamed 'people familiar with the matter', Reuters says Google's VP of Engineering Andy Rubin (which we likened to a Steve Jobs-caliber product fanatic in the past) is spearheading talks with music labels on plans for a digital music download store and cloud-based song locker service, which he hopes will see the light of day before year's end. Only thing that could get in the way of a pre-Christmas debut: the company has yet to sign a single licensing deal with the music labels, those same sources told Reuters.
