Google launches Magnifier, a music discovery service for Google Music

About few months ago, Google launched it’s new Google Music at the Google IO 2011. And now, the company has launched a new music discovery service called Magnifier.

The new Magnifier is an extension of Google’s Music Beta. The Magnifier lets you discover new discover new music that are coming up. It is just a blog that would be managed by experts (Google calls so), and the experts will be listing some of the top songs on the Magnifier’s website.

Here’s what the email I got reads:

When we launched Music Beta four months ago, we wanted to help users fall in love with their music again by removing the hassles of digital music management. We’re now taking that idea one step further with the launch of Magnifier, Music Beta’s new music discovery site.

Each and every day, our team of music experts will highlight new, free music on Magnifier. Sometimes it will be songs you haven’t heard of by artists you have. Sometimes it will be new artists we think deserve more attention. And sometimes there will be video interviews and live performances.

But you can always count on the following:

  • You can add any or all of the songs to your Music Beta library instantly
  • You can do this for free
  • The artist is being featured because someone on our team thinks they’re pretty great
