Yahoo has teamed up with RealNetworks to integrate music playback to it’s search results. Beginning today, users who search for an artist with available content on Yahoo! will be able to click & play music right in the Yahoo! shortcut at the top of the search results and instantly stream full-length songs by that artist through the FoxyTunes Player, which is powered by Rhapsody.

The Yahoo! Search music playback experience is powered by Rhapsody, the digital music service from RealNetworks(R), Inc. (Nasdaq:RNWK) and MTV Networks and offers full-song playback for more than 5 millions tracks.

When a user clicks a play button in the Search results, the FoxyTunes Player will launch near the bottom of the browser window. A limited number of songs are available for playback every month. Yahoo search users can listen to 25 free full-length tracks every 30 days. Once 25 songs have been played, users can subscribe to the Rhapsody Unlimited streaming service or continue to listen to an unlimited number of 30-second samples until the next month begins.
