Well, as iTMS now gives away two free songs a week, I thought it would be wise to list what they are.
This weeks official free download is: Josh Rouse's James This weeks Discovery Download is: Brett Dennen's Desert Sunrise EDIT: Well, seeing as this is the first post in the thread, might as well add the jumbo perma-links. Single of the Week Discovery Download "iTunes FREE Songs Up to Date" iMix Free Album Last edited by HOM : 2005-01-10 at 19:35. |

I agree, great idea. But where do you find these "Discovery Downloads"? Do you just hunt 'em out, or are they listed somewhere? I looked through the New Music Tuesdays email and only found the official free download.

There was a story on MacNN that there are many free songs hidden out there in the catalog. The one example given in the article was "in the process of being edited" when I tried to get it, however.

I memory serves me, there is one free song each week that is displayed on the iTMS front page, but there is also a discovery download that is only shown on the front page of a specific genre. Hence the discovery.
Last week's was in the jazz section, this week's is in the folk section so we have to keep checking in to see what area has the free download. I should add that I got both the free song off Jamie Cullum's twentysomething and another song also entitled twentysomething. Damn you Apple! I did buy more music because of the free download. |

Free song: Snow Patrol, "Run"
Discovery Download: Rosalia de Sousa, "Maria Moita" Edit: Copying the link from the front page now brings you to whatever the free download is every week. You'll find that the above link (chick song) point's to this week's free song. Here's the URL for each week's Single of the Week. And each week's Discovery Download.

It bugs me when free songs aren't available if I haven't signed up at AppleStore or if I'm outside of the US.

That would be nice.
However I am having trouble downloading the discovery download this week. It says: "The item you are trying to buy is no longer available. The availability of the item changed while you were using the store." |

This is an important thread and deserves to be stickied before it falls off the page. Free stuff is always good!

I like the Jem tune. I like how they're providing free downloads of songs people would actually listen to and not random stuff from the back of their catalog.

Wasn't Jem that weird Barbie rip-off cartoon from the eighties? She was in a rock band and had pink hair or something. I must be thinking of something else.

We already have two dynamic links here that automatically direct you to the current free songs. In case you missed them: Single of the Week Discovery Download If you want a list of all of the past free songs, just hit up the iMix titled "iTunes FREE Songs Up To Date" -- it's on the front page of the most popular iMixes.

Must be a temporary bug at the store. That link has been working perfectly for several weeks. In fact, I used it earlier this week to get the free discovery download.

This free song is…interesting. Apple Q3 Earnings Report
Edit: I also found the free 9/11 commission hearings, which are for some reason in the classical genre Last edited by BlueRabbit : 2004-07-18 at 14:02. |
