What is myCokeMusic.com missing?
Looking at myCokeMusic.com this morning and apart from the fact that they don't support any of us Apple fans, what's missing? The community. Imagine a site like that with an additional tailored version of Friendster.com with forums and RSS feeds of new releases. Don't just get the people to "buy" your wares - that's too old fashioned. Build a community around your site and get the people to come back - even when they're not buying.
Update: The Apple iTunes music store offers a way of generating RSS feeds - here.

They're also missing MP3 files (wma only), and the web site is a complete disaster on anything other than IE on Windows.
So they're missing a clue as well as a community.

Guys,
the idea is to have a protected content in cokemusic.com so mp3 is not an option, now they cannot put both AC3 and WMA on the same site, so the picked the most perfect one - wma.
yes, its better then the iPods AC3, even though the iPod is way to cool, and much more stylish, its a crappy system.
btw, it would be owsome to have a community in there
