The app was launched in conjunction with a coffee table book. The book costs $650 (Rs. 29,158) and the app costs $4.99 (Rs. 223). The app also features extra video content, which of course, the book doesn't.

The app was created by Assouline. It's Coca-Cola's second app, the first being Coca-Cola Heritage which was launched earlier in May and is free. This app works on iPhones and iPod Touches as well. The brand also celebrated its anniversary last month with a 3-D projection in Atlanta.

A few details on the service have emerged, as well. For instance, the percentage break up of revenue from the service will most likely be: Labels 58%, publishers 12% and Apple 30%. Amazon's Cloud Player and Google Music are similar services, but the difference is that Amazon and Google's services basically act as cloud lockers where users upload their music to access it on their other devices like phones and tablets. Apple would let users store their purchased content on Apple's servers and no uploading would be required. The service is reported to cost users $25 per year.
