Free music with CliffsNotes purchase

Is this really a good idea? (Begin old man mode) When I was in high school, I succumbed to the temptation that is CliffsNotes. Now, before you attack me, understand that I realize that CliffsNotes make wonderful study companions, and when paired with the books they summarize, are very useful. However, I often read them instead of those particular books, and as a result had only a rudimentary understanding of many of history's great works of literature. No, I'm not proud (end old man).

Today, students can grab two free songs from the iTunes Music Store with the purchase of any CliffsNotes product. From the website:

Complete your online purchase as usual
Watch your inbox for an e-mail message containing your code(s)
Redeem your code(s) at the iTunes Music Store

Get 'em while they're hot, folks. Just read the books, too, ok?

Your comments: What they're trying to do is combat the rise of free online services like SparkNotes (http://www.sparknotes.com/). At my school, all the slackers *ahem* just read these and don't bother with printed versions anymore.

At my boarding school, CliffsNotes were banned. One guy was caught with them in his room and was suspended for a week. We had to actually read the damn books.
