Editing Starbucks (section)

=== Apple Inc. ===
Starbucks has partnered with [[Apple Inc.]] to collaborate on selling music as part of the "coffeehouse experience". In October 2006, Apple added a Starbucks Entertainment area to the [[iTunes Store]], selling music similar to that played in Starbucks stores. In September 2007, Apple announced that customers would be able to browse the iTunes Store at Starbucks via Wi-Fi in the US—with no requirement to log into the Wi-Fi network—targeted at [[iPhone]], [[iPod Touch]], [[iPad]], and [[MacBook]] users. The iTunes Store automatically detects recent songs playing in a Starbucks and offer users the opportunity to download the tracks. Some stores feature LCD screens with the artist name, song, and album information of the current song playing. This feature was rolled out in [[Seattle]], New York City, and the [[San Francisco Bay Area]], and was offered in limited markets during 2007–2008.<ref>{{cite news|last=Gonsalves|first=Antone|date=September 5, 2007|title=Apple Builds Ecosystem With iPod Touch Screen|work=[[InformationWeek]]|url=https://www.informationweek.com/apple-builds-ecosystem-with-ipod-touch-screen-/d/d-id/1058854}}</ref> During the fall of 2007, Starbucks also began to sell digital downloads of certain albums through iTunes.
