The music comes from a wide range of genres and mixes old artist with new. Of course what they are trying to do is get you to buy the Hear Music CDs they sell at Starbucks and/or use your iPhone or iPod Touch or laptop to download iTunes while you are visiting a Starbucks. Many Starbucks have a special setup where you can see what is currently playing. One of the nice features is that it shows information about the previous song played for a few moments while the next song started.

We managed to get all but one (ironically we missed the John Mayer one, which turned out to be quite popular), and boy did it take some doing. We didn't go to Starbucks everyday, but almost. We visited some of our favorite Starbucks, along with some new ones. Thankfully we are big fans of the iced black tea, unsweetened.

p.s. If you have a bunch in your wallet or purse, be sure to redeem them on iTunes before December 31, 2007. That's when the codes expire.
