Google free music service in china

Google has entered the digital music market in China this week with the introduction of a free but ad-supported service. Google is facing criticism due to this unpopular decision as such a music service is a bid to catch up with Baidu, A big compititor in chinese market holding 60% of market share, who already have an online music presence and this is something admitted by Google China president Lee Kai-Fu.

Music will be available from Sony Music, Warner Music, EMI, and Universal with 350,000 tracks.

Google is not planning to expand this free service outside of China.
