APPLE AND PEPSI COLA North America today agreed to give away 100 million free songs to Mac and Windows PC users from Apple's iTunes Music Store.

The deal marks that availability of iTunes 4.1 for Mac OS X, Windows XP and Windows 2000, which you can download from here.

The tunes will be "randomly seeded" on bottles of the black stuff and other soft drinks in the US of A from February. Lucky winners will be able to download any of Apple's ITunes they fancy.

Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, reckoned the promotion to "legally give away 100 million free songs will go down in history as igniting the legal download market."

We dunno how he worked that out.

And will the artistes still get paid, we wonder? ยต
