Starbucks Serves up CD Burning
Starbucks is expanding its digital music service to 15 Starbucks shops in Seattle and 30 in Austin, Texas. The Hear Media music bar service lets customers burn custom music compilations onto a CD, selecting songs from Hear Music’s digital library of 150,000 songs. Consumers can browse the catalog on a touch screen and listen to songs and albums, or purchase seven songs for $8.99 and 99 cents for each additional. Starbucks also offers music downloads over a wireless network via a Wi-Fi partnership with T-Mobile.
