London -- Entering an increasingly crowded market with Napster, Coca-Cola and Apple Computer's iTunes, U.K.-based charity Oxfam announced on Monday that it, too, would launch a music download service in Europe. "Music lovers get great tracks, and artists see their music helping some of the poorest people in the world through real cash support," said Adrian Lovett, Oxfam's director of campaigns and communications. Oxfam said that it has joined forces with U.K.-based digital music company OD2 to sell downloads for between 75 and 99 pence per track, out of which 10 pence will be devoted to fight poverty and raise funds for humanitarian aid. Oxfam's said its online service would be launched with a library of more than 300,000 songs -- including such artists as Coldplay and George Michael. The service is scheduled to go live on Wednesday, May 26, Oxfam said.
