Some Dylan With Your Coffee Frappuccino


If you're a Starbucks customer, you're in luck.

News Release:

Starbucks plans to give away 50 million free digital songs to customers in all of its domestic coffee houses to promote a new wireless iTunes music service that's about to debut in select markets.

Here's the deal: Go to a Starbucks between Oct. 2 and Nov. 7 and get your morning Joe. You'll be handed a free "Song of the Day" card that can be redeemed at Apple's online iTunes Store.
Featured artists include Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, Joss Stone, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Annie Lennox and Band of Horses. The first song will be Bob Dylan's "Joker Man."
At the iTunes price of .99 for each song, that's quite a chunk of change for Starbucks to be shelling out (although I'm pretty sure they get major discounting on the deal). Still, this is a generous promotion that may actually help boost sales for these artists.
I don't drink the stuff myself, but if I did, I'd be ordering my Tazo Iced Chai Latte with a side of Joss Stone.
