Artists on the free album include the Dandy Warhols (famous for the Veronica Mars intro) and Maureen McCormick, of the Brady Bunch. How is the actual music? The quality, er, varies.

the Bill Medley piece made me want to shoot myself. I'm liking La Laque right now.

What percentage of your readers are outside the US?
I prefer not to listen to explicit lyrics and have the iTunes store configured accordingly. I was interested the the code skipped that setting. If iTunes thinks I bought them then it figures I've made the decision to override. Not looking a gift-horse in the mouth, mind you, I know where the delete button is. Just observing.

Great selection, something for everybody, I would think. I'm not fond of Public Enemy, but found some gems in the bunch that I'm glad to have.
In all, a great promotional idea. I'm hoping they do it again soon!
iTunes Plus? In other words: DRM?
