You will need to sign in to your iTunes account and then put in the iTunes code. The songs will then automatically start downloading.

Here is a full list of the artists – songs you will be listening to:

• Ted Leo & The Pharmacists – “Even Heroes Have to Die”
• Tokyo Police Club – “Boots of Danger (Wait Up)”

I have to say the songs were not my type, but then I am an old rock kinda girl and this is more alternative / pop music. However, Wasted Daylight had a sort of charm to it that was quaint and I enjoyed in my exhausted slightly incoherent Friday afternoon state.

You actually have to download a free app to your phone, in order to get the case, so it might be best to visit the above iTunes page from your iPhone, if you want to order your free case asap. Here’s what the landing page states:

The four show sampler includes episodes from shows including:

I absolutely love the Discovery Channel. I find the Deadliest Catch a little scary to watch, but I am a big fan of the other three shows.

Decks the hills with brows of folly… ok, so I’m not quite sure of the words on that one, so maybe I need to download this free album from itunes Canada!

• Click here to download the Christmas album at itunes

They are giving away a full album, loaded with 20 classic Christmas tunes, such as Silent Night, 12 Days of Christmas, Baby It’s Cold Outside… UPDATE: apparently we can only get the 7 song sampler in Canada. Thanks for the comments guys!

From the songs in the list, I don’t know all of them, I know about half of them. Plus, I didn’t know Greensleeves was a Christmas tune!

This is a freebie for those of us Bargainmoosers who use Facebook. If you become a fan of the iTunes Canada group, they will send you a coupon code to claim 20 free songs, in their Fall Sampler!

• Click here to join the Facebook group

• Click here to go to the iTunes store

The 20 free tunes include artists such as Rancid, New Found Glory, Neko Case, Booker T, NASA, Swell Season and more (thanks Beagle). I haven’t heard of many of those artists, apart from Booker T and New Found Glory.

I actually don’t use iTunes so I won’t be claiming this freebie. If you do get it, it would be great to hear your opinions in the comments below.

Happy listening!

If you’d like to add some more free songs to your ever growing music collection, you can actually get 25 free tunes courtesy of iTunes Canada and their facebook group.

• Click here to join the group on Facebook

You should see the banner on their group page, they call this the “back to school sampler” promotion. It’s actually a facebook app called “free on itunes” and you have to allow it access to your facebook profile.

The songs are preset, you don’t get to choose them. There are bands like Great Lake Swimmers, Dragonette, Inward Eye, The Dudes and Thrice.

This kind of Canadian freebie is great in that it introduces you to lots of little bands that you may never have heard of otherwise, and gives you a chance to broaden your audio horizons!

After you get your free songs, you don’t have to keep on being a fan of the facebook group if you don’t want to, just unfan them (or whatever that process is called)!
