LOS ANGELES -- Google is launching a new music search feature that brings its U.S. searchers one click away from listening to a full-length song. The simple design brings up to four songs to the top of search results. Once one is clicked on, the song will play on pop-up players from MySpace or Lala. The search results are also accompanied by album art and links to music sites Pandora, imeem and Rhapsody. Internet users can search by artist name, album or song title and can even access a song by typing in part of its lyrics. Recording companies are supportive of the move to put legitimate sources of music at the forefront.
