Do we have, or can this be a free hidden song thread? I haven't had much luck finding them, maybe my tastes are not obscure enough

The current free song is always listed on the main iTunes Music Store page.

I meant the hidden song, there is supposed to be one free, and one free hidden one. I just thought it would be nice if there was one single thread where we could look to see if someone found it every week.

I wasn't aware that there were "hidden" free songs. The one linked to in the story looks like it might have been a mistake.

All I know is I downloaded it and it was free. There was a thread here that listed two or three.

Turias, Apple announced during the opening week of 4.5 that "discovery" downloads would be available, weekly to the main free download. I've seen three discovery downloads so far.

(This week's is Brett Dennen - Desert Sunrise)
"You rise," he said, "like Aurora."

just downloaded the free song of the week . Run by Snow Patrol - pretty good for a freebie.

Here's the URL for each week's Single of the Week.

And each week's Discovery Download.

Follow these links. They automagically change as soon as the free songs change each week. Add bookmarks to them and you won't even have to come here.

I think it's a great idea to give away songs... It really does keep me coming back.

Why don't any of those links work for me? All it does is load a blank page. I'm using [mozilla] Firefox 0.8+.
