i havent been to a starbucks but i though this was old news.i thought they had this already where you could come in and order a custom made cd built right on the spot.well i find this a bit pointless now adays. if i want music i'll download it for free and buy the cd when i can. i'm not gonna waste money on songs that i can get on the original cds and for free over the internet or from a friends cd.why did the red hot chilli pepers newest cd just suck? they had maybe two decent songs stadium arcadium, and one other from the whole cd. i love the red hot chilli peppers and this just dumbfounds me.
@haggieThat's complete bollocks.Starbucks is a relaxing place where you can get a bite to eat and a coffee, not an IQ test.It's conducive to conversation, reading or getting the hell on with some work quietly - and you're not encouraged to get drunk, buy s**tty food in polystyrene containers and throw it at the sidewalk outside or have fights - where I live that's practically moron-proofing.Seriously, I don't know what it's like where you live, but where I live it's a haven away from ****bags.
cheers, i was wondering if anyone else was going to catch that, but i wasn't going to be the one to say it (in reference to proper drink calling order)
It'll either be DRMed or indie label music. The RIAA isn't warming up to MP3 that fast, and Starbucks already has a deal with the company that has a near-monopoly of the MP3 player market.The company that makes iPod hardware announced they were adding wi-fi a year ago, so it could actually be some special wi-fi implementation on top of their T-Mobile stuff. Its just hard to imagine everyone plugging in their iPods to dock connectors, not to mention all the hassles of multiple iTunes accounts.

Take away the end parentheses and it works.And I realize it was an assumption. But a darn reasonable one. And all Apple would need to do is a simple firmware update to allow iPod users to upload songs to their iPod on a Starbucks kiosk, and then when they hook their iPod back up to their computer it automatically takes all songs uploaded via that kiosk and puts it in your iTunes library folder. Not all to complicated of a process.

Its nice to see mp3s being distributed in a retail location finally. Kudos to Starbucks and Apple. Maybe you arent so evil after all.

It's not like I don't already get MP3's for free from Starbucks anyways. (Only at participating Starbucks with Wi-fi Hotspots)
