Lala hosts the most online music.

Apple recently bought Lala.

Google uses Apple’s Lala when you search for a song on Google.

It works fabulously well.  If you haven’t already, try it for your favorite song.

If you don’t have a favorite song, just ask Google for one.

Oh wait…

I just tried that.

My Google search query was “best song”

I did add the following NEGATIVE keywords so that they did not appear in the results:

  • -blog
  • -decade
  • -year
  • -directory
  • -today
  • -week
  • -instruments
  • -campus
  • -school
  • -organizer
  • -game
  • -video
  • -summer
  • -MP3
  • -free
  • -cheap
  • -popular

Here is what the final query string looks like:

Hmmm… nothing even there worth listening to.

Bottom line is that Lala, Apple, and now Google are excellent at delivering music.

Delivering music advice is a completely different animal.

Jury is out with Apple, for the time being, I give up with Google.
