A company that produces iPod accessories is trying a new marketing ploy to distance itself from other iPod-friendly makers on the market.

SendStation Systems is giving away 20 free songs on iTunes with the purchase of some accessories, and will continue the promotion until it has given away 20,000 songs.

Customers in the US and Canada who buy a smartCharge car charger, which costs around $25, or a PocketDock Combo USB/FireWire adaptor, which retails for around $23, will receive 20 songs on iTunes.
