Google reportedly planning a music downloads service in their search engine. According to the source of the Wall Street Journal, Google is in addition to music service aimed at web users, will also be closely linked to the Android mobile operating systematically.

However, it is unclear whether they will work with music labels. The plan, Google will launch this music service later this year, followed by services that can be enjoyed by way of registering, in the year 2011.

Google is increasingly interested in further with the music service. Last year, Google began approaching other partners such as iLike and Pandora, so users can enjoy streaming songs from the Google search engine.

The first phase is estimated to Google music service is to provide an online music store where users can buy and download tracks. This service will be bound by the search engine services, so that each person who opens the page on Google.com and search for songs or music group, will be presented with a link to the service.

Later, the service also will be made into a Facebook service that will be compatible with Google's mobile-phone platform Android.
