Apple, The Gap to offer iTunes promotion?

Hey #12 (rip) They just did a blog about this a few days ago: http://www.tuaw.com/2005/07/26/create-gapless-music-with-itunes-4-9/ Create Gapless songs with iTunes4.9

When I saw this posting, I thought there was finally going to be gapless playback. wtf. Was I wrong. If anything, they are adding Gap (or Gap is adding Apple). Someday, maybe, there might be such a thing as gapless playback on iTunes and the iPod. >sighs wistfully<

Looks like the rumors are true: http://money.cnn.com/2005/07/28/news/fortune500/gap_itunes/index.htm?cnn=yes Try on Gap jeans, get free iTunes song Shoppers who try on Gap's new jean fits in August get a free download from Apple's iTunes stores. July 28, 2005: 10:05 AM EDT

Apple prolbably has good contacts to Gap since Millard "Mickey" Drexler (ex-CEO of Gap) is one of Apple's board of directors.

Ok this went downhill... GAP bashing... guys talking about their butt looking big... yea... My problem with the GAP and most of the quasi-GAP clothing stores is that walking in everyone is trying to be so damn hip. I feel like Holden Caulfield and it just depresses me to see people thinking they really need this crap to feel good about themselves... but I digress. Their jeans are comfy though.

connection: Gap CEO Millard Drexler joined the Apple board back in 1999; he was prolly brought on board to help get the Apple Stores rolling.

Matthew, again I'm with narco (comment #6) and... I'm just not a Gap fan. Apple isn't going to lure me in there with a free song. Maybe if I had Andrew Kaufmann's butt (comment #7). Furthermore, I don't go places just because Apple is pimping stuff at that store. I'm not a...wait, I went to MacWorld... I just don't like The Gap, ok?!?!?!

I am going to be all over that. First off, Gap jeans fit me really well -- other jeans make my butt look too big. So I'd be all about trying on the new styles anyway. Not only that, there's a Gap every 100 yards in the part of Dallas I'm in... I could literally hit 3 of them and only drive about 2 or 3 miles. AND get some jeans in the proccess. That fit my butt. I'm not going to comment on the labor statements, as I'm not that hip in my politics and haven't heard that the Gap is about that. If they are, then I certainly don't condone it.

Matthew, I highly doubt "all" clothing businesses hire child labor. Even if they all did, it doesn't automatically make it acceptable. Anyway, this is hardly the appropriate forum for such an argument-- I shouldn't have even made that statement in the first place. Fishes, narco.

I'm thinking it will probably cost more than $0.99 in gas to drive to and from the Gap.
