Apple has been running a Song of the Day in conjunction with Starbucks that provides a free song each day for customers in the store. When you pay for your latte they give you a card with information about the free song of the day on the front and information (including the code) explaining how to get your free song. I have largely been ignoring this freebie this week but today I decided that was silly since the songs are free so today I gave it a whirl to see how easy it is to redeem.
Very easy, it turns out. I already use iTunes so all I had to do was open it and go to the iTunes Music Store. There is a “Quick links” section on the right of that store’s home page and I clicked the Redeem link. I entered the song’s code on the provided dialog and the song automatically downloaded in just a few seconds. The song I got is Moon from Emily King and it’s not bad. I am going to make sure I get my free song each day that I visit Starbucks from now on. Oh yeah, that’s almost every day. :)
