In addition, Google Music also has about 10 million tracks available for only 49 cents per download. This is quite a bargain, especially if looking for a particular song.
"We're proud to offer you over half a million albums for $4.99 and over ten million tracks for 49 cents," the company announced in a post on the Google Music Android Market webstore, TechRadar reports.
$4.99 per album and $0.49 per mp3 will count with Billboard
Quote:
Billboard announced a new rule about SoundScan counts: if your album is sold for under $3.49, it doesn’t get counted toward your Billboard ranking.
For EPs the new rule is: “Unit sales for albums or EPs with 8 or less tracks will not be eligible for charting if the retail price is less than the sum of the tracks on the release, multiplied by $0.39.” For single tracks: “Unit sales for Digital Tracks priced below $0.39 during their first three months of release will not be eligible for inclusion on Billboard’s digital songs charts.”
Everything but Sony It seems that only Sony failed to come to terms with Google as albums from its stable of artists are missing from the sale.
In a post on the Google Music Android Market webstore, the company says: "We're proud to offer you over half a million albums for $4.99 and over ten million tracks for 49c.
"Search around the site for your favorites—we promise you'll find something you like at a great price!
"Few things in life are more important than music, and, since we launched the music store in the Android Market a few weeks ago, we've sought to connect you with the tunes you love"
iTunes bating goes into overload
Google's timing is shrewd, with folks looking for instantly attainable stocking fillers for their nearest and dearest.
Whether the company can keep users once the sale is over remains a different matter altogether.
ouch. in that case iTunes has nothing to worry about.
Google Music
Please Read the title:
Google Music selling mp3 at $0.49 each
and the quote that said MP3.
Quote:
There's also a whopping 10 million MP3 tracks available to buy for just 49c, again undercutting Apple by 50 per cent or more in most cases.
Don't expect any Warner Music Group artists.
Don't expect to buy any Sony Music Group artists at $0.49. (It's $1.29 for Sony). Mr. Know it all at $1.29 and Set Fire to the Rain at $1.29.
sorry ipod/other MP3 player users.

I downloaded Lady Antebellum's album a month ago when it was on sale for $1.99 and it plays on my iPhone fine.
