I got to ge me some.

Unless you like rap, the music "Sampler" pretty much sucks.

Is this a US only thing?

a few decent songs and artists. But I can't complain, it's FREE.

Anyone gonna post a song list?

DO I really have to reset my iPod to get the sampler?

Inquiring minds want to know!

1. Blow It Out - Features
2. All At Sea - Jamie Cullum
3. Sunshine to the Rain - Miri Ben-Ari
4. Lonely - Akon
5. Golden Touch - Razorlight
6. Every Time You Go Away - Brian McKnight
7. Bigtime - The Soundtrack of Our Lives
8. Laura - Scissor Sisters
9. She Said - Brie Larson
10. Just Anotha Shorty - O'Ryan
11. Sleeping With the Lights On - Teitur
12. Reach Out, I'll Be There - Michael McDonald
13. TKO - Le Tigre

Oh, and you're welcome.

There is no way to get the songs since it doesn't show up in the Music Store.

Doing a "restore" is simple. You just have to back up your own personal data files. Your songs will still be re-sync when you connect the iPod and launch iTunes. Finally any calendar and contacts will be written back to the iPod via your iSync.

You should be back with the same old iPod contents in a few minutes.

I guess they are free, so I'll likely do it - but the 3921 songs in my library are going to take a bit more than a few mintues - 17.54 GB in what, 20 mintues?

Thanks again for the info.

I am wondering if this will erase my linux on iPod firmware. Sure it will. Seems interesting apple does this after there is a news story about linux on iPod.

Just reset my iPod using the November update utility - didn't get anything for free :( Really quite disappointed, not to mention annoyed at having wasted so long waiting for all my songs to copy back over! I did the reset, unplugged my iPod and plugged it back in again so the computer would recognise it.

After the configuration bit where you name the iPod, I got redirected to the ITMS which had a different banner at the top welcoming me to using iPods etc etc and offering a link to download this week's crappy free download of the week. Nothing more than that though.

You mileage may vary though as I'm in the UK. Please let us know if you're also in the UK and actually manage to get the freebies.

Found the following URL in Google's cache from Dec 22! Got my tracks without updating. Get it before it's gone!
