This portion of the service was powered by several music-related sites, Lala, Rhapsody, imeem and MySpace Music / iLike. 2009 is a long time ago when it comes to the web. Since then Lala has been acquired and shut down by Apple, imeem by MySpace.

Google Aims to Make Finding Music Easier
Posted by webwarrior on October 29th, 2009
Google began rolling out its new music search feature late yesterday. The feature enables search results with links to audio previews of songs provided by MySpace (which just acquired iLike) or Lala, when a user searches for music-related queries like the name of a song, artist, or album. The results also include links to purchase full songs.
Google says it is always looking for ways to reduce the "time to result," or the length of time it takes a user to actually find what they are looking for. Since Google gets millions of search queries about music each day, they figured this feature would be a good way to reduce that in many cases. "If you’re searching for music, ‘time to result’ is really ‘time to music,’" Google says.
