On Monday Starbucks announced that it will soon provide its customers with more than 50 million free digital songs to download from iTunes in a move that will give a significant boost to their recent deal with Apple Inc. to launch a new wireless iTunes music service.Earlier this month, Apple and the Seattle, Washington-based coffee drink company announced a partnership that the two companies have said would let users of the iPhone and newly introduced iPod touch to access the iTunes Store and download the currently-playing Starbucks musical track with the touch of a button.
To promote its new in-store partnership with Apple, the American coffee chain Starbucks is planning to give away 1.5 million downloads per day from Oct. 2 to Nov. 7 in its more than 10,000 company-owned and licensed U.S. stores. It will give a total of more than 50 million free songs throughout the promotion.
Customers will receive free "song of the day" cards to download music hand-selected by Starbucks Entertainment, including tunes by Bob Dylan, Joss Stone, John Mayer, Dave Matthews, KT Tunstall, John Legend, Annie Lennox, Joni Mitchell, Keith Urban, Paul McCartney, Sia, Band of Horses, Hilary McRae, Federico Aubele and Sara Bareilles.
