The service is known to many for helping music-seekers play a song with a single click via Google.

The Washington Post has more on the story, including noting the speculation is Apple plans to launch its own Web-based streaming audio service.

After trying and failing to play multiple instruments, Nick realized he should combine his love of words and music and use it to mock those who can play much, much better than him. And he does. He's attended hundreds of concerts, has a CD collection numbering into the thousands, crossed the Atlantic to see shows, and is a two-time record store employee. He lives in Solano County, with his two iPods and two CD players.
