Sharing songs gets a twist with Google+. If you are a Google+ user, you will soon be able to share individual songs with your friends, who can listen to the track once for free, courtesy of Google's anticipated online music store.

It was Facebook that first launched this application to share music, where you get other social features such as the capability to swap playlists or let friends know what they're listening to in real time, as Spotify users can on Facebook.

The search giant Google's new MP3 store though promises to be quite different from their competitors. iTunes and Amazon are both expected to launch their individual versions within the next two weeks. Giving an edge, music purchased from Google will be automatically saved to a user's Music Beta account; Google's recently launched online music storage service.

But will swapping tracks on Google+ be enough to win over customers from iTunes, Amazon is the question which we have to see in the near future? Only time will tell, though it's music to music lovers' ears.
