I'm surprised Apple hasn't been doing this all along. They now list a tune for sale next to a free tune by the same artist.

US only... So far there are 3 volumes, a total of 24 songs.

http://www.dmbcaravan.com/caravan-sampler/

Expires 2011-10-05.

Thanks, I got vol 2 but it looks like one and three are already done. Says there's more coming soon though. Would have loved to check out that Dawes song. They've got one called "Time spent in Los Angeles" that I think is excellent! Check it out on Spotify if you get a chance!

Edit:

Eventually got all 24 tracks, but had to do it from 3 different computers. No idea why, but it was worth it. Great mix of bands, there! Thanks for the tip cbeyond!

Not sure why you got expired codes...but all 3 volumes are working fine for me. All show an expiration of October 5 on the codes...but all DL'ed. 24 songs in all.
 
I was just playing around with the new "Purchased" section of the US ITMS on both my mac and my iPhone...
and...
None of our free songs are there.

I guess Apple only counts purchases where money is exchanged as purchases for re-downloads.

I don't think I have lost any of my free DLs over the years, luckily.
From the US ITMS, I have more than 2800 free tracks...mostly due to this thread!

I guess these will just fall to the synched tunes like my CD's and Amazon MP3's. Too bad that limit is so low at 25K synched songs. I'm at 23,474 and counting. :(


YEA!!
It looks like Apple heard my pleas!
ALL of my songs are now available via iCloud.
Good thing too since I jumped way above 25,000 since my last post.
But with access to all our iTunes freebies...it means the rest of my collection will fit well within the limits of iCloud subscription when it comes out in a few weeks.
