Coke to Launch Music Service

my goodness, anyone heard of market saturation?? yeah, it's in the UK, but...

:eek: :rolleyes: :confused:

coke has absolutely no experience in doing this. (or anything technical...)

it'll be interesting...

More future iTunes converts, ahoy!!!!!!!!!

This reminds me of during the internet bubble when everyone and their mother was opening or buying an internet portal. Of course, most of those ended up on f*ckedcompany.

Join the party Coke. Just let me know where and how I can get free promotional song dowloads.

I'm wondering if the service will use WMA or AAC...

And just like everything Coke (speaking as an ex-Coke employee) I'm sure it'll suck donkey doo. If it's proprietary and/or whatever marketing smaltz they'll shovel like bile to the masses (not unlike their drinks) I'm sure it'll be bland, devoid of flavor, and will rot the teeth out of your head.

Also I suggested a story but either the editors here don't like me or it was posted already and I miraculously didn't see it, which is that Earthlink too has gotten into the music download game too (go to earthlink.net to see for yourself, it's powered by musicmatch I found out). So basically it seems there's more companies in the music download biz now than NOT in it. Morons, all of them, except Apple iTunes of course.

Coke already has Coke Music in the US so this isn't a big deal. Also where does Coke Music get it's Music?? From AOL of course and where does AOL get it's music from? Why via iTunes Music Store of course.

Will the UK Coke Music site work the same? Probably so and if this isn't an indication I don't know what is. iTunes Music Store for the UK in Jan.

US site: cokemusic.com

Does anyone else find the url www.mycokemusic.com incredibly funny?

Don't make me bust out "It's the Lawyers fault, not Apple" speech again...
