You may have heard a thing or two about Google’s music service, likely to be dubbed Google Music. The idea was discussed at I/O back in May, which expectations we would see something around September. Well, September is here, and we’ve really heard nothing new about Google Music, until now.
Reports are now coming in that sources are revealing that Google Music may be landing sometime around Christmas. Sources are also revealing that Google is planning to launch the service along with Android 3.0. There’s only one catch, it seems that Google Music, being spearheaded by Andy Rubin himself, is having zero luck in signing deals with any major record labels.
Music is not the only area where Google is reportedly having difficulty getting content providers to come on board. There have been numerous reports that they are having an equally difficult time swaying studios and networks to partner with them over Google TV. One thing is for certain, though, and that is Google had better hurry up and get some record labels on board, or they will be launching a shiny new music service with no music to be found.

Now you are talking about android 3 iv still would lik to get androad2.2 with I was told I would get by the end of augest that one rsone I got a droad x whin will I get it
Well I believe this announcement comes with iTunes ping and it;s google intention to lead all the market..
Somehow I’m a big fan of Google team since they have given so many great products but I would suggest Google should learn from their mistakes like Google wave and
first they should try to strengthening their own running services instead of getting into new market…
Anyways..I hope to see this new service rolling out soon and hopefully Google will create a difference with new music store…
“it seems that Google Music, being spearheaded by Andy Rubin himself, is having zero luck in signing deals with any major record labels.”
ummm I wouldn’t be so sure: “Google Inc., which is developing a digital music service, is finding a warm welcome at record companies that are hoping the technology company can loosen Apple Inc.’s grip on the digital music market with its iTunes music store.”

Good luck Google. Those greedy music labels are obviously hard to deal with. I spent countless money with Microsoft’s zune music for literally nothing due to the labels changing their terms whenever they felt the need. I would rather pirate than be “had” by a bad music service again.
