Google planning music download store 'with a twist'

For questions about plans for the company's music service, Rubin said that Google is "close" to start offering that customers will download music. And, to distinguish it from competitors, he said, Google offers a "twist a little - it will have little of the Google in him."

Google launched its music service lockers, Music Beta, earlier this year. Offer to allow users to upload and access their music in the cloud, but does not have a store download. Negligence is remarkable, considering the two main rivals, Apple and Amazon have a music-download store is available to subscribers.

Rubin's comments are a confirmation of a report last week stating that Google is working on launch music download service. Sources with knowledge of the talks told CNET last week that Google has not entered into an agreement with the label, and previous reports in the New York Times said the business started and it is unlikely for several weeks.

This means that Google has been at this point. Last year, the company was in negotiations with music labels, sources told CNET at the time, but the talks failed after the label can not, and the search giant to come to an agreement.

Rubin would not say today if the company will start to save, but he acknowledges that Google has some issues with media companies face negotiations in the past.

"Google is in the very early stages of the addition of consumer products in our portfolio," Rubin said at the event. "The industry has not seen the media we like it They see us, the search company .."

Google did not immediately respond to CNET's desire for more information about their music-download service.
