I thought it sounded a bit ambitious. According to this story: "Starbucks is taking longer than expected to introduce music CD burners to its coffee outlets because of design challenges and the high stakes of putting Starbucks' cafes into the music business." (Puget Sound Business Journal)

We are actually getting The Mp3 station installed in our store this evening. dont know what good it will do. its not like it is going to have any music that the younger generation will be hip towards(maybe the reggae). in my opinion its a wasted idea. The older folks wont know what the hell to do with it. the only thing that we ARE going to get from it is more whining and complaining that "the condiment bar was moved,,why did you move it? why did it have to go here? my god my life is in shambles now because the condiment bar was moved to put this new fangled thing here that i dont know what it does". hehehe.
