AMGmarket.com | News – As an ongoing marketing promotion, Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) released Mixed Tapes 16 today; an hour’s worth of free music plus the bonus track, “Make My Day.” The bonus track is featured in a recent C-class TV commercial.

In all, 16 new MP3 files are available for anyone to download.

You can listen to all songs online then select the songs you like or download the entire CD at: Mercedes-Benz Mixed Tape. You must allow “popups” on your browser to access the files and listen to the music online.

You can subscribe to their newsletter and receive a notice for each mixed tape release. Don’t bother trying to download the files on the day you get their announcement; download speeds come to a crawl due to site traffic – wait a few days. MP3’s are large files; about 75 megs of data if you download the entire CD. Download individual songs if you don’t have a high-speed Internet connection.

Here’s the announcement from Mercedes-Benz I rec’d this morning:

Bonus track for free download: “Make My Day” from Waldeck

To start off the new C-class, you will find a special highlight on Mixed Tape: The music from the C-class TV commercial as a free download.

The track, “Make My Day” from Klaus Waldeck is made distinguishable by the charismatic voice of Joy Melcolm and the nonchalant nu jazz sounds. This song is featured in the most recent C-class TV commercial, starring Fernando Alonso.

Along with this bonus track, you will also find Mixed Tape 16 available for download: 15 tracks, from hip hop to indie rock! For free, as always:
