The search giant is expected to unveil their new MP3 store that reportedly goes hand-in-hand with Google Music and Google+
Google's MP3 store is almost here

Several reports have surfaced over the web that Google is holding an event on November 16th, and were hearing via a report on The Verge that it's going to be for Google Music.
The search giant sent out invitations to an event that day that it is calling, "These Go To Eleven." That's a reference, of course, to the documentary, Spinal Tap, and its lead guitarist Nigel Tufnel who had an amplifier with knobs that went up to 11.
Does the event relate to Spinal Tap? Will we see Spinal Tap make an appearance? No one knows for sure, but hopefully we see some purchasing of music coming to our computers with Google.
Honestly, the event invite reminds us of an announcement by Andy Rubin just this past month that Google Music would indeed by coming soon with an update that would have “a twist.” Mixing perhaps, or even some sort of Google+ sharing is on the table.
At this point though, it remains to be seen whether or not Google can get all the deals done with labels. According to CNET, Google has yet to secure licensing deals from the all the major labels, so a full launch may be far off.
Festivities will kick off at 2 p.m. ET, and it will be live-streamed on Android's YouTube channel. At that time, we expect to hear more about Google's MP3 store and hopefully see some music purchasing in action.
Are you as excited as I am folks?
