To be clear: we don’t know for sure what Google will be unveiling on Wednesday. Still, the invitations to Google’s “These go to eleven” event contain several music references, so the smart money says the event will be centered on Google Music.
There have also been rumors that Google would soon be launching a music store. Both of these rumors are getting a boost from screen captures posted by Spanish-language blog TechnoDroidVe. While not impossible to fake, the screen shots are consistent with current Google design, and the site appears confident in their source. If the images are legitimate they provide several new pieces of information about the Google Music Store.
The store will apparently have a “Free Song of the Day” section, where users will be able to download a featured song free of charge. The store also appears to leverage Google’s search expertise, providing a Genius-like list of recommendations of artists based on the music you’ve searched or previously downloaded.
The store is apparently still a work in progress, becoming more polished with each update, but this early glimpse looks pretty solid. Anyone else looking forward to Wednesday’s announcement?
