Google Inc. ready to launch Google Music without licenses or permissions from record labels following suite with Amazon.com's cloud based music service.

A leaked beta version of Google's Android Music 3.0 is circulating the web to the hackers able to snatch it who flaunted images of the application online.

Google Inc. is peeved with major record labels, especially Warner Music Group which was singled out in a report, because the major record label wants Google to charge $30 per year to store music based on a cloud system for each user.

Google Inc. says it's ready and willing to follow in Amazon.com Inc's path by not getting licenses from those that provide content and going ahead by servicing users without the labels' permission.

Google Music service is being tested, allegedly, from inside the company this year.

The Service

The Google Android Music 3.0 app features options in the options menu focused on streaming and has had details spread all over the internet ever since online giant Amazon.com came out with its cloud based service.

Google Inc. is reportedly testing its Android Music 3.0 internally and acquired PushLife which will prepare them for the music syncing store industry.

The app resembles a stock version of Android Music and Amazon.com's Cloud Drive and Cloud Player lets a person use and store music and photos online through multiple devices.

Pet Peeve

Google Inc. wants to allow a trial version with the first 500 songs free per user, but Warner Music Group, which Google is reportedly disgusted by, is adamant towards having a cloud based promotion.

Word has it that Google is prepared to launch without permission of any of the major record labels. By testing the service internally, Google Inc. was practicing what is labelled "dog fooding" in Silicon Valley.

Pushlife

This week Google attained and purchased PushLife, which is a company capable of providing the service of allowing iTunes and Windows Media Player users to sync their mobile phone to these applications capable of storing their music.

PushLife comes with software that automatically connects Blackberrys, Android and Nokia phones from a PC through iTunes or Windows Media player.

Since Google is breaking frontiers in the mobile web access world, PushLife believes this makes the ideal company to go hand in hand with Google on this frontier of mobile web access.

Similar to the way iPhone users use iTunes, Google could set-up a store that lets Android users to do the same, although Google hasn't confirmed this, PushLife will most likely give Google the knowledge and experience in syncing required to do this. Google could either end up launching the service without licenses or cancel the project entirely.
