Beatles will sell music online, join rest of us in 21st century

The Beatles were similiar to the Backstreet Boys only in the media/marketing coup they inspired and the worldwide reach of their fandom. But the Beatles were creative masters who spearheaded the entire 60'sgeneration of musicians and inspired many generations after. They influenced the cultural and political environment in a way that Backstreet never did. I'm actually a fan of both groups-but there truely is NO comparison between the two. I have most of the Beatles catalog already, but I'm looking forward to the songs that havne't NOT been released yet that are rumored to be available!

There are the casual fans; the ones that refer to the Red Album or the Blue Album, rather than the White Album. There are tons of these peoples, owning Beatles Greatest Hits, that would buy song by song ala carte of the rest of the catalog. There are also others that would not buy Anthology for example, but might want a track or two here or there.

And, I don't think the Christmas Fan Club stuff or other items over the years, have been officially released. That is, there is still stuff that has yet to be officially made available, even with Anthology and the Get Back Naked releases. And it is actually the flaky one off stuff that is the strength of online distribution.

They are insane if they do not make them available via iTMS however.

Who wouldn't buy a ton of their music after it's been remastered? I own just about everything they've done but I would still upgrade some of my favorites to the remastered files.

Uh.. no.. you already have their music.. hence.. you'll save your money. Just like everyone else.

Using allofmp3.com gives zero of your money to the artists.

Then again, this is rich man Paul McCartney and his band of litigious thugs, who has stripped John Lennon of writing credits, so maybe there's no moral issue here!

You can download the Beatles online already at allofmp3.com.

Are you kidding me. Who wouldn't buy a ton of their music after it's been remastered? I own just about everything they've done but I would still upgrade some of my favorites to the remastered files.

Beatles=Classic. Even my 13 year old daughter loves them.

#2 I agree whole heartedly. Just another boy band...year right.

Most Beatles fans already own most of their catalogue. Most of these fans though, are faced with a dilemma: like my father, they own all the albums on vinyl. Now granted, they could transfer from vinyl to MP3, but for technophobes like my father, this isn't really feasible. He'd probably be willing to purchase some of his more favorite songs/albums in a digital format, even though this would be paying for music he already owns - just for convenience's sake.

Everybody, sing along...

Yesterday,
We told online stores to go away...
Then we found out what our fans would pay
to download files of "Yesterday."

Suddenly,
We're not pissed off like I used to be,
DRM means you can't get it free
So we'll believe in yesterday.

Why we went and sued that Jobs dude, we couldn't say,
Now we're sorta screwed, 'cause iTunes won't have "Yesterday."

Apple, hey,
let's forget that name thing anyway,
we'll settle out of court and find a way
to stock iTunes with "Yesterday."

Mm-mm-mm-mmmm-mm-mm-mm-mmmm.....
