It’s not quite official but there’s little doubt that Google will launch its Google Music service at its big I/O event later today. While the Wall Street Journal couldn’t get a Google spokesman to admit it, Peter Kafka over at All Things D got Jamie Rosenberg, Director of Android Product Management, to spill the details a bit early.

Google expects to rollout the service to its US users within “weeks” while beta invites should go out later today. Keep it right here because we’ll be bringing you the announcement live .
