Apple and Pepsi have teamed on another Music Promotion which is expected to be announced during The Super Bowl. The promotion is slated to give away 200 million free songs from the iTunes Music Store and 1,700 iPod minis, one per hour starting on January 31, 2005 and ending on April 30, 2005. Accoridng to posted rules, free song redemption in the iTunes Music Store ends 11:59:59 pm PST on May 23, 2005. Apple has posted a webpage online (http://www.apple.com/itunes/pepsi/) that states, “Pepsi iTunes Music Promotion is coming soon. When the promotion begins, we’ll notify you by email.

Drink Win. Play. 1 in 3 wins a free song on iTunes. Plus a chance to win an iPod mini. One winner every hour. Look for code under specially marked 20oz. and 1-liter bottles of Pepsi, Diest Pepsi, Pepsi Wild Cherry, Mountain Dew, Diet Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew Code Red and Sierra Mist.

The maximum number of valid Codes per email address/person that can be entered at the Web Site is 10 per day and 200 total throughout the Promotion Period.

Last year, 100 million winning codes were randomly seeded in 20-ounce and 1-liter bottles of Pepsi, Diet Pepsi and Sierra Mist only, so the addition of the popular Mountain Dew and Diet Mountain Dew brands and the doubling of free iTunes downloads to 200 million possible are welcome signs that this promotion could be different than the last giveaway.
