Google Inc. (GOOG) is seeking to sign agreements with record companies by the end of the month to start a music store to compete with Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s iTunes, three people with knowledge of the talks said.
Google is seeking permission to sell downloads as well as to stream purchased music to its customers’ devices, said the people, who requested anonymity because discussions are private.
In an e-mailed statement, Mountain View, California-based Google declined to comment.
The talks were reported earlier by the New York Times.
