Free weekly songs in iTunes

[chicken]

Song downloads are sure to increase with the unveiling by Apple of a free weekly download for iTunes users. Every Tuesday the company will make one song available for free to all customers, something analysts think will pay off big for the company.

Kickass.

Although, given the overwhelming pounding their servers got yesterday, who knows how fast the downloads will go. Maybe by then they'll have cobbled together a few trillion more servers by Tuesday. Haha.

Also, if the choice(s) of songs is sucky, it will not help them.

The Pepsi promotion I think resulted in me buying more songs than I would have otherwise, just because it got me browsing around the store ... (I did also get a bunch of free songs.)

I don't think it worked as well for Pepsi, since I stopped buying Pepsi as soon as the promotion stopped.

It'll be interesting to see what songs they offer! I would think it might work better if they offered you your choice of, say, a half-dozen songs from different genres. Anyway, we'll see.

I did the same thing with the Pepsi, stopped drinking it pretty much today.

If Apple only offers one song per week to 'choose' from, I will be sadly disappointed.
