Yahoo Developing Music Search Engine

Yahoo is developing a search engine for finding downloadable songs and music data from across the Internet, according to News.com…plans are to introduce it within the next two months…The specialty engine will let people search on 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.

That’s the key: Yahoo’s activity in the music market has been slower than others, but it bought out MusicMatch last year, is working with MusicNet and relaunched Yahoo Launch as Yahoo Music…

The music engine will draw on Yahoo’s search-marketing service to add related ads to music search results..

Other players in the market are SinginFish, GoFish, MP3.com, MSN (has music search tab) and others…
