If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
You probably heard about Pepsi's promotion to put codes under it's caps for free songs on iTunes (they had a commercial during the Super Bowl). But what if you have no use for those codes? Like I, for example, aren't that into music that I need to get stuff off iTunes. So what to do? Recycle the codes for good use:When you submit a winning Pepsi code to the Tune Recycler, we'll redeem it for music from honest, independent labels. There are a few great independent labels in the iTunes store that give their musicians up to 40-50 cents, right from the first sale. When you use the Tune Recycler, you know that no money is going to support price fixing, payola, or lawsuits against families with children--and most importantly, the money goes to a musician. That way, you don't have to sign up with iTunes to get one song, but you can still put that cap to use.I know I'll be sending my codes there. iTunes is a slick service, but I really have no reason/need to fund the pockets of the majorlabels -- I'd rather it go to an independent, and that's where this will be going.
Kristine said on 03/08/04 @ 03:00 PM: Please send any itunes codes to me email address so I can recycle them. If you do not have itunes and do not want to download I can help. Just send them to me
Kristine said on 03/08/04 @ 03:01 PM: My email address is xkemx143@yahoo.com
jake said on 03/14/04 @ 09:13 AM: Nick and Kristine are full of it. You just want the codes for yourselves to download music. What a load of crap!
brian said on 03/22/04 @ 11:31 AM: i am an american living in france and the I tunes promotion is not available to me so if you wanna hook me up ...feel free
Sara said on 03/26/04 @ 06:33 AM: Hmm, instead of wasting money on a drink and giving money to "independents" why don't you post them on a website so that people who don't have 99 cents a song to spend can get some music from those independent rap groups that want so much to be famous?
Musiclva said on 04/10/04 @ 04:24 PM: good idea Sarah

roger said on 04/30/04 @ 11:20 PM: Hey guys I found out a way how to get some quick cash!!! Its awesome I got $1000 !!! but you can only do it once then he might get suspicious all you have to do is write a letter saying your poor and need some money only like $1000 like I said ! cause then he probably wont send you anything ok write the letter ( and make it good) to Evan Vela 19824 hazelnut dr. Gretna Nebraska 68028 make sure you put like 1 or 2 dollars in the envelope with the letter but make sure you put some like dark colored paper in there so people cant see the cash and take it !!! I don’t know why you need to put the money but that was what my mom and dad had to do……yeah im poor! I think this guy is like rich or something !! don’t tell the whole planet about this so maybe we can do some other time hehehehehehehehe!! Oh yeah, put your return address!!!!!!!!!!

Amanda said on 02/24/05 @ 04:30 PM: You know, this is really depressing. These people are begging for codes with absolutely no pride. If you really want music THAT BAD, then I'm sure you can spend at least a dollar on a pepsi, and I don't even know why everyone is so obsessed with this, you're still paying a dollar for a song, you're just getting free disgusting swill along with it that sucks the calcium out of your bones and discolors your teeth....and that's my rant. sorry for taking up Itunes code begging space.

Dan said on 03/13/05 @ 03:58 AM: I rather throw away my cap than let you morans have it.
Trish said on 03/13/05 @ 04:00 AM: That spelled M-O-R-O-N and not moran. At least learn to spell before you open your mouth.
Moses said on 03/13/05 @ 06:51 PM: If you'd rather do something useful than toss your caps, go on Ebay and sell them to people with iPods. I saw some people selling large numbers of caps for over twenty dollars ... and people actually buy them.
Andrew said on 03/15/05 @ 06:45 PM: Please, weather the code is used or not could you please email it to me? I'm trying to find a pattern/sequence within the codes so please, any code, used or not, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks a ton,
Andrew

chabob said on 03/22/05 @ 02:55 PM: stinks that one can't redeem the card without signing up for an account with a credit card or paypal account. It's NOT FREE THEN.
I'll stick with Napster prepaid cards from Staples and KMart stores. They really do appeal to the teens that don't have Credit cards.
is it SO HARD APPLE to allow people without credit cards to redeem the itunes codes on Pepsis? I guess it IS!
*end rant*
Sara said on 03/27/05 @ 03:34 AM: I would like some codes to fill up my song collection? Love and kisses :-)
Glenn said on 03/31/05 @ 12:26 PM: If anyone doesn't need their code that they won for a free song, email me at Pazar44@hotmail.com or IM me at Pazar44
Thankyou
