Nope, not yet, even the mini Starbucks inside my local Vons Market gave me the Bob Dylan song card today.
The young lady behind the counter apologized to me that the giveaway today was Bob Dylan. I guess she figured nobody would want music by some over-the-hill old-coot has-been singer from a bygone era. Assuming she had even heard of the guy.
I told her I really didn't mind getting a free Bob Dylan song.

Right. His "Jokerman" is the featured song for today. Somebody else's song will be featured tomorrow.
According to the press release, other artists will include Joss Stone, Dave Matthews, Bebel Gilberto, John Mayer, KT Tunstall, John Legend, Annie Lennox, Joni Mitchell, Keith Urban, Paul McCartney, Sia, Band of Horses, Hilary McRae, Frederico Aubele, and Sara Bareilles.
Someone might know as my local starbucks said they already have all the cards for the entire promotion there. I suspect they are either labelled packages or they have a list stating which one to put out which day.
I'd assume, though could be wrong, that t o keep this under wraps and not expose a list, they would have the cards wrapper and the front card would instead have teh date to be displayed, otherwise the songs will easily leak and people may not go in as often.
i need to remember to go by a SB today at lunch. not that i care for that song, but hey, it's free
Right, no actual benefit to the consumer. Perhaps for some there is satisfaction to be gained from buying the large plastic card that Starbucks is selling in place of the physical disc, but there's nothng else to be gained.
That said, plenty of benefit to Apple. People really do seem to be buying music at Starbucks, so the partnership makes good sense to me.
You can see the featured song each day at Starbuck's Song of the day page.
You can see the list of songs, as we learn of them, in our own Starbucks Giveaway list.

If you have extra Starbucks iTunes codes, you can offer them to other forum members in the Starbucks Song Code Swap thread, which is a thread for offering codes, not for requesting codes. If you want a code, just watch the thread!
