Lycos (NASDAQ:LCOS) keeps up the deal flow with a $5.5 million agreement with CDnow (NASDAQ:CDNW) to sell music via its joint venture Lycos Bertelsmann (GmbH&Co. KG) in Europe. CDnow will be exclusive music retailer to Lycos Bertelsmann in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and Benelux Countries, and other areas where the joint venture operates.
