Starbucks Hear Music added to iTunes Store

The well-known Seattle-based coffee company, Starbucks, now has its own area in the iTunes Store. The new Starbucks Entertainment area provides iTunes users the ability to preview, buy and download a wide variety of Starbucks popular Hear Music titles.

The Starbucks Entertainment area within iTunes will feature a wide variety of playlists including unique music hand-picked by the same Starbucks Hear Music content team responsible for selecting the music played in Starbucks stores around the world. Playlists and content will be updated frequently and will also include digital versions of many of Hear Music’s popular CD series and co-releases such as the Marvin Gaye Opus Collection and Sonya Kitchell’s Words Came Back to Me, which was released as part of Starbucks ongoing Hear Music Debut CD series. Customers can purchase either the entire playlist or individual tracks from the Starbucks Hear Music playlists. [Bill Fox]
