i will definately try to download every free tune... i already managed to get the foo's and avril [puke]... ill get courtney the hole once i get home from work...

free is free... why the hell not...
 
That Courney Love song isn't even worth 0.0¢. Just as I wouldn't eat a free dinner of horse testicles, I won't be downloading free songs by no-talent junkies.
 
The origins of this thread

The lists in post #1 and post #2, which are updated each Tuesday, give the names and links for the free iTunes Music Store music that Apple has given away this year.

When I started this thread, I issued the challenge to others to "collect them all". I created the free tunes list in post #1 to help people find the new songs each week.

Then Apple started giving away Discovery Downloads (free tunes that are not identified on the main iTMS page) and the original list turned into two lists. But because of the long iTMS URLs and the limit on the size of a single post, eventually post #1 could not hold both lists. Luckily, SilentPanda came to our rescue and is now hosting the Discovery Download list in post #2. Thanks, SilentPanda!

Starting in November 2004, Apple also made monthly mixtapes freely available, announcing "the first completely legal, free mixtape for download, along with the tracks that inspired it." The mixtape is listed in the same format as an album, with the original songs or the whole "album" available for purchase. Only the mixtape, which can be quite long, is free. Mixtapes are listed in post #2.

Here is the original text of the first post:

It will be fun to get the free iTMS tune each week. There were originally 42 to be given away this year, from April 28 thru December 28 (not counting Pepsi tunes) but extras on May 6 and Sept. 8 upped the count to 44, and Discovery Downloads added dozens more.

Some people have already missed one because they were late to hear the news, some didn't upgrade to iTunes 4.5 in time for the first day, and some simply missed one of the days so far. In the coming weeks and months, you might forget when it's Tuesday, you might be out of town, your computer might not be working, your ISP might be down, or you might be unable to type from injuries suffered in a freak meteor shower. Who knows what could go wrong? You might even decide it's not worth bothering to download a tune you aren't interested in. It may be free, but why click if you won't listen to it anyway?

Whatever the reasons, some people will start with the goal of getting them all, and by attrition people will drop out over time. Who's going to try? I'll give it a shot. Maybe I'll find some new music I like along the way!​
 
Its on my Lookout calendar (MS Outlook for those who think it’s a secure piece of software.) so I'll be notified. I wonder if I can write something to run iTunes and take me to the music store when the alarm goes off. Hmm Ahh computers. :cool:

Who is going to take the challenge and try to get every free iTune this year?

This week I've already installed iTunes and PuTTY on two PCs, one at a friend's house and one at a relative's, solely for the purpose of grabbing the promo songs and relaying them to the machine at home. Why am I admitting this?

That Courney Love song isn't even worth 0.0¢. Just as I wouldn't eat a free dinner of horse testicles, I won't be downloading free songs by no-talent junkies.

Absolutely, I don't want Lavigne or Love anywhere near my hard drive. (Error computer forever corrupted!!!) :D
 
I added iTMS URLs to the chart above, so you can click on a song title to access it within its album (if any).

Song #7 is sure different than those that preceded it. Dorothy, I don't think we're in rock/pop/alternative Kansas anymore!
 
We made it to the end of Freebie Week. Who dropped out? Who has all eight tunes so far?
 
What I had in post #2 (not that it's important...):

I'm without a doubt going to download every free tune I can. I'll be gone most of June but hopefully I can get somebody else to click for me... :) It's FREE. Why not? Even if I don't like the tune I might just find some I do like, and the ones I don't I can either delete or save as "joke" music for something.

(Now for this post)

I've done it! :)
 
When Apple comes out with their next statement of "We sold xxx million songs", I wonder if they will include the free songs in that mix, or if they will just include the songs that were actually paid for?
 
The daily freebies conclude today. From now on, it's one free tune every Tuesday. My chart above goes through the end of the year, but Apple has said nothing about when the program will end, so it could be before the end of the year or the deal could continue into 2005.
 
I got everyone. None of them were something that I'd buy on my own, but most of them were pretty good.
 
Thanks for letting me/us know, SilentPanda!

How odd that they announced a schedule of free tunes and then didn't follow it. :confused:
 
Found it through an iMix, how else ;) It's also featured at top of the classical section - but I guess nobody goes there.

There is also a new free tune, not part of the free song a week promotion, here: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=7158018 They call it a discovery download. How many more are there going to be to discover?

That's actually a pretty nice track.

For god's sake though... don't buy the song "Anthem" from the same CD... it's a horrible perversion of the Star Spangled Banner. :D :D (ok ok it's a tribute to Hendrix's version, but still... :D)
