Have you noticed the problem: there's already something like ten places every artist wants to be: google play, itunes, magnatune, etc, etc.<p>Then there is this problem when you want some music and you have to figure out who carries it first.
Fantastic. But I'm guessing the problem with this will be that that Google is Google and they won't give artists the extra support that they need like the labels do. Sure, the technology gets you the distribution, but you first need to have something to distribute.<p>Music artists need all kinds of support: Marketing help, design help, someone technical to upload and produce their stuff. If they can provide some of that support then maybe this will have a better chance.
Give everybody a website & fool them into believing their sales will increase. First it was for small businesses now music. Is that all that google tries to do? Play catch up with facebook, itunes, iphones..etc etc.. (facepalm)
