iTunes: Free Wednesday
Well, it took long enough, but many of this week's missing-in-action freebies have now shown up and are ready to download. All three US music tracks are now finally updated as free (rather than 99 cents). The Australian, Japanese and New Zealand offerings have finally arrived and France's SOTW no longer leads to an error. And we've got a brand new TV show for US viewers to enjoy.
Follow the jump to discover the freebie details.
US Music
US: You Know I'm No Good by Amy Winehouse
British sensation Amy Winehouse brings a rhythmic bounce reminiscent of classic early funk and soul records on this track from her second album, Back to Black. Her voice quivers somewhere between Erykah Badu and Portishead's Beth Gibbons while the horns punch a side melody straight from the Motown songbook. "You Know I'm Good" is a sparkling display of possibility from the young singer and it's our free Single of the Week.
US: Me Falta by Rayito
Rayito is a singer-songwriter in his early '20s whose music speaks of a larger understanding of the music around him. His early musical schooling dealt with the flamenco style. As a teenager, he began giving professional performances. Over time, his music has evolved into something with more of a pop feel, but the style, rhythm, and talent needed for flamenco is heard in his music. Try the celebratory sound of "Me Falta" – our free Single of the Week.
US: All My Friends Say by Luke Bryan
Georgia-born Luke Bryan started his career as most folks do, belting out tunes on the radio. But Bryan has since parlayed that interest into a successful career as a singer and songwriter. "All My Friends Say" is a rousing sing-along that has the raw, organic sound of great country music. Get the tune as part of our free Discovery Download today.

Australia: Like It Like That (Radio Edit) by Neska
"Like it Like That" is a provocative R&B cut from the Sydney artist whose debut Sex and Poverty first introduced the singer as a new, raw voice on the scene. This track goes further with a thumping club beat best suited for bumping and/or grinding (take your pick). Is Neska the "official sound of soul from Down Under"? Listen for yourself!
