Classical CollectionLogic Puzzles

In my collection of classical music, I have a range of pieces that last 6, 7, 8 and 9 minutes.

The piece by Bach lasts 8 minutes, and the CD lasts longer than the piece by Holst.
The piece on DAT tape is longer than the piece by Beethoven.
The single lasts 7 minutes, and the album does not contain any Holst.
The piece by Butler is on the DAT tape.
Can you determine which piece of music is in which format, and how long each lasts?

At my local farmer's merchant, you can buy chicken feed for £4 per tonne, pig feed for £3 per tonne, and cattle feed for 40p per tonne. The feed can only be purchased by the tonne, and part tonnes aren't sold.

Last week I bought some animal feed, and luckily I managed to buy exactly 100 tonnes for exactly £100. How much of each feed did I buy?
