Still Can't find that song? Try Google Discover Music

Google recently launched a new feature, Google Discover Music . Now, when you enter a music-related query — like the name of a song, artist or album — your search results will include links to an audio preview of those songs provided by our music search partners MySpace (which just acquired iLike ) or Lala . When you click the result you'll be able to listen to an audio preview of the song directly from one of those partners. For example, if I search for [21st century breakdown], the first results provide links to songs from Green Day's new album. MySpace and Lala also provide links to purchase the full song. Put it to the test, try one of Google's sample searches: Artists: Kings of Leon , Bob Dylan , Bon Jovi Albums: 21st century breakdown , Pet Sounds , Southern Voice Artists and a song: Paramore Ignorance , Plies Hypnotized , Luke Bryan Do I View the Original Article from Google
