Oh my… How did I let this little news item slip by!

If you haven’t heard already, Apple has launched the "iTunes Music Store Countdown to 100 Million Songs contest" (say that 3 times fast).

Apple is giving away some hefty prices for this countdown:

• "50 special 20GB iPods—one to the purchaser of each 100,000th song downloaded between 95 million and 100 million songs."
• "The person who downloads the 100 millionth song will receive a 17-inch PowerBook, a 40GB iPod, a gift certificate for 10,000 iTunes songs to create the ultimate music library for the iPod and the opportunity to create a Celebrity Playlist to be published on the iTunes Music Store."

As usual, check the official rules.
