In an effort to compete in the digital music market against giants Apple and Amazon, Google debuted its online music store Wednesday, where users can purchase and stream songs through the search giant’s Android market. It also opened its free online music locker service to all users. Google Music will use cloud storage space and an emphasis on sharing via its social network, Google+, to differentiate itself from competitors such as iTunes and Amazon. At its start, the music store will offer about 13 million songs from labels including EMI, Sony Music and Universal.
