  • The site offers over a million music tracks thanks to a partnership with Top100.cn (a company co-founded by basketball start Yao Ming which Google has invested in), most of them Chinese but also foreign tunes approved by the government. For example, users can download the latest Metallica album free of charge, of which you can see a screenshot below. Apart from the four labels mentioned above, several major publishers and 140+ indie labels are said to be on board.
  • Google is making this move to gain more ground on Baidu, the leading search engine in China, which has been offering free MP3s for years, part of the reason why it became the leader in the first place (it has roughly double the market share in search than Google). A Baidu representative has already responded to the launch of the new MP3 search engine, saying Google is entering the game too late and that this particular ship has long sailed.

    Googleの中国法人Google Chinaは、無料のMP3検索エンジンをベータテストしていたが、4大音楽レーベル（Warner、Universal、EMI、Sony）と正式に提携が成立したことを機に、今日、プレス会見を行って一般公開した。このサイトにはTop100.cnとの提携により100万曲以上が登録されている。（Top100は　バスケットのスター選手、姚明が共同ファウンダーで、Googleも投資している）。ほとんどの曲は中国のものだが、政府が承認した外国の曲も含まれている。
