MyCokeMusic screw-up means ultra-cheap tunes

While gaily giving away millions of DRM-infected tunes via tokens from Coke bottles and cans, online store MyCokeMusic doesn't appear to be paying much attention to the pricing of its woefully spotty catalogue.

When Log On was idly trying (very hard!) to find a song to buy thanks to a Coke ringpull, we came across a whole album of Peggy Lee (remember her, she did the sultry version of Fever?) tunes for the princely sum of €1.29. Thinking it was a mistake that would refuse to download, I gratefully grabbed 22 tracks for half the price of a cappucino - five cent each!

I'm betting that's not the only anomaly in the MyCoke vaults either. But if you're interested, the €1.29 offer is still available. Would love to link to it directly but there's a screwy URL system that won't cooperate. Just search for Peggy Lee.
