Apple’s iTunes Music Store is giving away iPods and a prize package comprising a 17-inch PowerBook, iPod and 10,000 song gift certificate as the service counts down to 100 million songs sold. There’s a way you can participate even if you don’t want to buy new music, however, according to gadget site Engadget — and it’s actually spelled out in the giveaway’s rules. Apple notes that using the “Tell a Friend” feature of the iTunes Music Store will also enter users in the giveaway, if they send the link to “itunes100@apple.com.”
The giveaway is open to residents of the US, UK, France and Germany, and will end when Apple sells its 100 millionth song on the iTunes Music Store. The giveaway began late last week, and as MacCentral posted this story, Apple had logged almost 98 million songs sold.
