2-Google probably doesnt care about the product itself, more likely it just wants to mine the data that gets put into it. Like goog-411, the service is just a conduit to acquire data.

To what end? Unless Google is trying to make sure that when its software becomes sentient and takes over the world it has good taste in music (heh) I can't see much use for the data beyond building a recommender.
