The Starbucks Entertainment area within iTunes will feature a variety of playlists including unique music hand-picked by the same Starbucks Hear Music content team responsible for selecting the music played in Starbucks stores around the world. Playlists and content will include digital versions of many of Hear Music’s CD series. Customers can purchase either the entire playlist or individual tracks from the Starbucks Hear Music playlists.
The discovery and editorial on the Starbucks iTunes page is pretty right on. Not what you would expect from a corpo giant. They obviously know their music over there.
