Google and Facebook are Launching Music Players

Google and Facebook are each planning their own music ventures.  Google's initiative is so that when you Google search a band name, song or album related songs will be available for play.  Google will not host the actual songs but will create a separate window where you can either listen to a sample of the song or the entire song.

Facebook's initiative will be to sell music in its gift shop which is already set up for gift images.  The gift shop will allow you to stream the song for 10 cents or download it to your music player for a dollar.  All song revenue will go to the artists.
