LOS ANGELES ? Google stepped onto the Internet music stage on Wednesday, unveiling a service for finding, listening to or buying songs online.

Google announced an alliance with Lala.com and MySpace-owned iLike at Capitol Records headquarters in Los Angeles.

"We are very excited today to be introducing a music search feature," Google vice president of search Marissa Mayer said before a demonstration of the new service.

"The search results will allow you to do a whole song play to verify it is the song you are looking for."

Google music search lets people search using song artists, titles, and even snippets of lyrics.
