In a surprising move, Nintendo Europe have teamed up with EMI to reward Club Nintendo members with free music.

Strangely enough, this isn't the first news story of the day that links Nintendo with the music business. As of today, Nintendo Europe will offer their website's members the chance to swap their hard-earned stars for free music. Aces!

By heading over to the Nintendo Europe Music Voucher Shop, and logging in, you can exchange stars for special codes. These codes can then be used on the EMI Backstage website as promo passes to aquire the tunes without any charge. It costs 350 Stars for a single song, 700 for two, or you could cough up 3000 Stars and download an entire album.

Full instructions can be found on the NoE site via the link above

Thanks go to the exceptional Serebii for bringing this to N-E's attention.
