Yahoo has implemented a cool music listening feature as a result of their partnership with Rhapsody. Now users will be able to do all the same things they could before like viewing artist photos and videos, or viewing song tracks and official website, with the added bonus of listening to full versions of tracks up to 30 a month as opposed to the sample that users where once limited to. The tracks will play in the new Yahoo Foxy Player and you can do all of this without ever leaving the search results page or logging in! Google has also announced in a Google Labs project that they are indexing audio content. Imagine being able to search for a phrase and limit the results to audio or video files. Could be pretty interesting. This may even lead to new forms of marketing and advertising in files, or for the search giants themselves as pre roll ads for the service they are providing.
