The head of the American coffee monolith hinted this week that socialites at his chain's many cafes may soon be topping up their digital music players as well as their drinking cups. At a talk held jointly by Bloomberg and the Levin Institute, Starbucks' chair Howard Schultz reckoned that the beverage giant would soon begin testing and ultimately deploying a system that would let its customers add music to their jukeboxes. The change would likely occur "over the next six to eighteen months," Schultz said, but was most likely to happen within a year. "Within 12 months, probably, you're going to be able to walk into a Starbucks and digitally be able to fill up your MP3 player with music," he said at the conference. No word on whether it will be iTunes or a more hardware neutral approach. The article also questions the delivery method as the Zune is currently the only DAP that has WiFi abilities. Perhaps this is a subtle hint that Apple is planning on adding wireless of some description to the iPod? Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites          Add your comment
