Checked out the songs nearly every week and bought quite a few additional songs because of them over the years. Too bad they stopped.
i think the daniel powder hit, bad day was the best ever free single.
any other ones that became hits?
Apple is so damn greedy. It would be nice if they appreciated their customers.
Yep, there's no pleasing some people, they just throw it right back at Apple's face. Good for them for stopping free gifts.
I used to download the free songs, but after a while realized that I almost never liked the songs, rated them as 1 star and lost them in my library.

Non-hardware examples;
No 12 days of Christmas. Not a huge deal but no real explanation behind it.
iTunes prices are ridiculous. Yes, they do sales occasionally. But I don't need all the Harry Potter movies for $55. I would like to see some older movies for less than $14.99 occasionally. Perhaps a price more competitive with Blu-Rays or Amazon.
$3.99 and $4.99 to rent a movie? For 24 hours? C'mon. That's ridiculous when there is a Redbox in every McDonalds in the US.
I really wanted to own a copy of The Prestige. I figured iTunes was an easy choice. Until the movie was $17.99. It's $9.99 on Blu-Ray.
I understand there is no need to push product since these files are not taking up any real estate but a sale or competitive prices would be nice.
We're all in the ecosystem, just throw us a bone with some incentives and real sales.
This is coming on the heals of an unfortunate incident last night in which I was unable to stream Capt America on my Apple TV (a movie I purchased on iTunes), but the Netflix app on my Apple TV worked fine. I just remember when it felt like Apple cared about their few customers instead of ripping off all of their customers.

They are probably sick of having to be insulted for giving out some little things for free.
It wasn't the free content that bothered people it was that it was forced upon them.

All about their margins, it was hurting their bottom line. :rollseyes:
