Microsoft Corp. is launching its first online music service, but isn’t yet joining the race toward digital downloads, Wednesday’s Wall Street Journal reported.

The Redmond, Wash., software company Wednesday is announcing the first public test of MSN Music, a free Web-based service that is designed to help consumers discover new songs and artists. As with some other Web services, users can search to find recordings that sound like a song or an artist they know, or have a particular mood or other characteristics.
