Google to launch music service in next two weeks

Google will reportedly launch its rumoured music store within the next two weeks, The Wall Street Journal has claimed.

The report comes after separate publications indicated recently Google was working on a music marketplace to integrate with its Beta service, which allows users to store music in the cloud.

The report claims that while Google is currently talking with music labels, it may not be able to secure deals with two of the major groups.

As a result, this may restrict the music it can sell on the service, putting it in a frustrating position compared to similar services such as Pandora or Spotify.
