It seems that should this launch, it would give the company access to millions of songs (Spotify already has over 16 million songs). It already has plans to launch a paid subscription service on YouTube that would enable subscribers to pay to watch their favorite shows and artists.<\/p>\n<p>And like Apple, Google can leverage its tablets and smartphones as well as its Android operating system to make a go of it. Actually, file this one under the &#8220;nothing new under the sun&#8221; category. Indeed, the very same Financial Times reported as far back as 2006 that Google was chatting up music industry executives about &#8220;new digital music services that could break Apple&#8217;s grip on the fast-growing market for legal downloads.&#8221; Since then, Google&#8217;s ambitions have grown along with its rivalry with Apple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has been talking with the major music labels about a possible streaming music service.
