Good news: Apple is giving away 29 free songs on the iTunes Music Store. Bad news: you don’t get to pick ’em; they’re bundled into two sampler albums. The “Atlantic/Lava Edition” album has 16 songs; the “Universal Motown Edition” has 13 more. Are they any good? Beats me. I’m having the infamous “502” problem, which prevents me from downloading any iTMS songs for the nonce.
