Google is reportedly trying to open an MP3 store before Apple launches its iTunes Match service.

The New York Times reports that Google is gearing up to launch an MP3 store to compliment its current music locker, aka Music Beta by Google.

According to the paper, Google is reportedly in negotiations with major record labels and eager to launch the virtual storefront within the next few weeks. So far there’s no indication that the MP3 store will follow Amazon’s own offering of automatically storing digital purchases in the customer’s virtual locker indefinitely, and for free.
