A search box will be available, bringing up streaming links from either Lala or iLike. Lala is currently a free service, but iLike charges for its services, so it's not clear yet how how Google's music service will operate. We can only wait to see what will happen until Wednesday and all that Google will offer.
So how exactly will these streaming services change the face of music? Or will it at all? Any thoughts?

Will this be a free service? I use AOL music and it's totally free. I can listen to who I want to and watch any video I want to. That's a little better than youtube and yahoo in my opinion. So google has to come with something strong if it's going to compete with everyone else!
Google seems to be dominating every market on the internet. And as we learned, nothing is free. This means tons of ads will be played in between songs. I will still buy songs from iTunes. Like Te said, Google needs to be unique. They can't do what AOL and Pandora are doing because people will have no reason to switch over.
I agree, Google does seem to be dominating every market on the Internet; I guess it's only natural that Google should find something new to compete with. I think it's inevitable that Google will think of something to add to music streaming to make its service more appealing, despite its competition. It seems like from the beginning Google pretty much had the free online market figured out. When it first started Gmail, for example, it was just another email service but now it has a good percentage of email users using it because of the added benefits Google gave it. I'm sure Google will tack on something else for free to make its music search more appealing.
There is already so many music services available. Why do we even need another one? Google just needs to stop and focus on what they do best. I do not even see the need for yet another service. Yahoo, AOL, Pandora Radio, and iTunes work fine and dandy. So lets just leave it at that.
