Free songs from Starbucks

I admit, I am addicted to

Starbucks

. The Bucks, Buckies, Stirbucks, Starbuckies, Yuppiebucks, Fivebucks. What ever name you call it. Although, I don’t think I’m

truly

addicted. I can

not

have coffee and be fine. Though some people say I’m grumpy...I just don’t believe them.

But, this isn’t about Starbucks in general. This is a gadget blog after all so I thought I’d mention something that not everyone might know about. Did you know every Tuesday Starbucks offers a card that is a free downloadable song on

iTunes

? Yep, it started when the

3G iPhone

was introduced and Jobs said that we’d soon be able to walk into Starbucks and use our iPhones to find out what was playing in the store. Say, what happened to that anyway? As part of the announcement, Starbucks started the Song of the Week. It lasted a couple months and then stopped. But, it’s back again and I certainly make sure I grab my free song. I’ve also seen them change it up with video offerings on occasion.

So the next time you’re at Starbucks, check out the CD’s and you’ll find this weeks card...for free!
