If you have moved away from iTunes and toward streaming services for your digital media consumption needs, it may be time to double back to iTunes, or at least stop by once in a while. After removing the free Single of the Week from iTunes at the beginning of this year, Apple today added a new section titled “Free on iTunes” featuring free songs and TV shows.
Head to the iTunes Store and look for the blue Free on iTunes button in the Music or TV Shows tabs. On the TV Shows tab, some free shows were listed outside of the Free on iTunes section, each denoted with a yellow Free tag. Currently, Free on iTunes offers 16 songs and 24 TV shows. Instead of the usual Buy button, each of the free offerings features a Get button.
Apple has not made an official announcement about the Free on iTunes addition, so it is unknown how often the selection will change or whether it will expand. According to MacWorld, it appears the Free on iTunes section is available only to US customers.
