Google's Music Beta may only be three months old, but the search giant made another foray into the music world today, launching Magnifier. The new music discovery site goes a little bit further than just letting you listen to music by featuring videos of live performances, interviews with artists, explorations of different musical genres and free songs that you can tack on to your Music Beta catalogue.
Google is featuring Grammy-nominated indie rock band My Morning Jacket this week. They're also giving away two of their tracks to Music Beta users, one of which is for Magnifier only: a live performance of "The Day is Coming." However, to get the free tracks and others available in their Free Song Archive, you need to grab a Music Beta by Google account. Venture over to Magnifier, grab the songs you want, click on the "Add free music" buttons and then the tracks will get added into your Music Beta library.
