New Era of Music Promotions?

Via HypeBot:

Starbucks is going to give away 50 million tracks as it helps launch the new iTunes wireless service with Apple. From Oct. 2 to Nov. 7 customers in all 10,000 U.S. Starbucks outlets will be handed 1.5 million “Song of the Day” cards each day for redemption on iTunes. The first song featured is Bob Dylan’s “Joker Man”.

Yeah the music spreads more on viral mode. For music producers, this is the future of music, either you are ready or not.
