    not the same thing

    "BuyMusic.com and South Beach Beverage Co. (SoBe) have said they will co-sponsor a music tour this summer."


    It does not say that they will be giving away any free music.

    My mother.

    My mother's thinking about opening an online music store, too, and partnering with her coworker friend who makes tea for their afternoon breaks to offer free music when you sip her tea.
