Yahoo! works on audio search
6 May 2005
Yahoo! is reportedly working on a new audio/music search engine.
The new service for finding downloadable songs and music data from across the internet will allow users to search for an artist's name, for example, and retrieve all the available songs from other music services, as well as album reviews and band information from Yahoo! Music.
The speciality engine will draw on Yahoo!'s search-marketing service to add related ads to music search results, CNet reports.
Singingfish, GoFish, MP3.com, MSN and others have already launched similar audio and music search services.
Yahoo!'s search engine for downloadable music will be launched within months, according to reports, though the internet portal has refused to comment on the rumours.
Yahoo! has purchased outlet MusicMatch for $160 million and is also working on another music service with MusicNet. The company recently relaunched its Yahoo! Music site.
