Google Music Nears Launch

October 27, 2011/by Sarah Skates

Google’s music offering is nearing launch according to numerous reports including the New York Times.

The MP3 store is expected to have ties to the company’s growing social network, Google+, allowing users to share the music they buy with friends/followers. There is also supposed to be a cloud-based storage component.

Reportedly, EMI Music is close to agreeing to license its catalog, but NYT reports that the other majors are not yet on board with Google Music.
