Free Weekly iTunes
Amidst the many new features of iTunes 4.5, Apple has also started offering a new free song to be given away every week.
This promotion should be beneficial both to the featured musical artists and Apple -- as it will draw more customers to the iTunes music store as well as provide more exposure to the featured artists.
This week's free song is My Hero by Foo Fighers (iTunes Link) (Alternate link)
Update: This week, they will be giving away a different song every day. (View graphic). The artists include: Foo Fighers, Avril Lavigne, Courtney Love, Annie Lennox, Jane's Addiction, Counting Crows, Renee Flemming, and Nelly Furtado
The iTunes Music Store features a new free single every week. On Tuesday of course. So if you want to keep current with all the new releases and newly added exclusives be sure to sign up for the free New Music Tuesdays email bulletin. It's a great reminder to download the free single every week.

Hey, can't beat free. I bet THIS gets them to 100 mil real quick.
I don't think that Apple can count these as purchased songs since they are not making any profit from this. At least with the Pepsi giveaway they got reimbursed from the songs. Indirectly though, if it attracts more customers and more downloads, then it will help reach that 100 mil goal.
Announced this WWDC: 1 in 3 purchased iTunes songs, and you get a free 20 oz Pepsi!

I'll probably download the free songs just because they are free :)
Maybe this should be a poll question...?

this is a great idea and a good way to get genres. albums, or artists more exposure. what's the harm in trying a song for free? It's like the free samples at Costco. You know you try stuff that you would normally never buy. ;)

I will be downloading every single free song that is available. Why not? You might, just might want that song at some point. Even if just for background music to a video you make, even just using that song as a joke. You can always rate it as trash and use it later if you like. But it only takes up your bandwidth for a bit (providing you're not on a modem and if you are I guess you can use your discretion) and it takes up some harddrive space (which of course you can offload to a CD if it's a problem.
It's free! Be happy!

I doubt they'll offer anything good for the free selection. Maybe the least popular download from that particular artist.

Oh! And don't forget... those caps have to be redeemed by the 30th of this month so if you've been stashing them away... go at it! You can only redeem 20 a day.
