Battlefield tours, the science behind the iPod’s shuffle mode, download over 700 songs for free and the Wall Street Journal looks closer at how Apple promote new music.
Battlefield tours now downloadable
If you’ve always wanted to view famous American battlegrounds but can’t stand the thought of being parted from your iPod while you do it, then we may have the solution for you. If you head here, then you can now download audio tours for sites such as Gettysburg, which can then be transferred across to your iPod.

Get your free music here
Once again, the participants of the annual South-by-Southwest music festival are joining together to offer a selection of their music for free download. With over 700 songs available (go here for the Torrent file), then it’s the perfect was to build up your iPod’s music library for free.
