Starbucks forms record label – CNN.com
Starbucks Corp. said Monday it has formed its own record label, Hear Music, to develop records for sale both in its coffee shops and through traditional music retailers.
I was never one for buying CDs especially when they’re being sold in a place that isn’t a music store. Starbucks, however, has been promoting different recording artists for years now by selling CDs next to the cash registers.
Now they’re starting their own record label. That’s quite a stretch, by my standards. If they had started a line of ceramic dishware, I wouldn’t have been surprised.
I’m not sure if anything Starbucks’ Hear Music puts out would be of interest to me. When I go to Starbucks, I’m certainly not there to listen to their music. Not when I have my own musical preferences on my iPod.
