Starbucks to Give Away Free iTunes Songs

As reported on Billboard.biz, Starbucks Corp. 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.

From October 2 to November 7, baristas in the company’s more than 10,000 U.S. stores will hand out about 1.5 million “Song of the Day” cards each day. The cards can be redeemed at Apple Inc.’s online iTunes Store.

Thirty-seven artists with featured songs include Paul McCartney and Joni Mitchell—the first two to sign on with Starbucks’ Hear Music label—along with Joss Stone, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Annie Lennox and Band of Horses.

The first song will be Bob Dylan’s “Joker Man.”
