Apple kicks off '12 Days of Gifts' with Justin Timberlake single
As planned, Apple on Thursday kicked off its "12 Days of Gifts" promotion in the U.S. and other participating countries with a download of four songs from Justin Timberlake's performance at this year's iTunes Festival.
Timberlake's free single includes four songs performed live at the 2013 iTunes Festival in London and is being offered as part of Apple's holiday giveaway promotion, which is only accessible via the 12 Days of Gifts app found in select iOS App Stores.
The "12 Days" digital content giveaway has become somewhat of a tradition for many iTunes users, though the app was previously limited to Canada and a few major European countries. For 2013, Apple has extended the promo to U.S. customers for the first time, granting them access to freebies that in the past have included movies, music, e-books, apps and more.
Earlier in December, Apple gave away Lorde's latest single "No Better" as a preview for the 12 Days of Gifts app, labeling it as a "gift to get you started."
Apple's "12 Days of Gifts" program runs from Dec. 26 through Jan. 6, with each day bringing a free download that will be available for 24 hours. Some content may not be available in all areas.
12 Days of Gifts is a free 64.7MB download from the App Store.

What's wrong with '12 Days of Regifts'?
You couldn't pay me 99 cents to download these tracks.
I guess that 13 year old girls with not yet fully developed breasts are probably happy about this free download.
Hopefully something better and more useful will show up in the remaining days of this giveaway.
Practically anything will be better than these poor quality recordings.
Can also be found in OS X iTunes Store, search for "iTunes Festival"!
Perhaps not free before in the US...as that is a first for them.
Merry Christmas to you too, dr. Blank.
If he can "re-gift", you can "de-gift"!
What about old children?
That;s in Australia whee it is just after midnight.
The JT stuff was previously only free as a live stream in the iTunes Festival App/
Yeah, no kidding. I was really hoping for a free d/l of "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" trilogy, in HD. /s
