Staff Writer, CNET News

As part of its annual "Free Cone Day," Ben & Jerry's is giving away up to 50,000 free songs from Apple Computer's iTunes Music Store. In conjuction with Rock the Vote, the ice cream maker plans to give those who take an online "oath to vote" on Ben & Jerry's Web site one free iTunes song.

The iTunes promotion starts April 26 and runs until the 50,000 songs are given out. Those who complete the online oath could also win an iPod. For those more interested in the cone than the tunes, the free-scoop offer runs from noon until 8 p.m. on April 27.
