McCartney on iTunes, Beatles to follow?
Everyone seems to be very excited about the possibility of the Beatles catalog being available on iTunes. Now, I'm a fan of the Beatles, but it seems to me that everyone who is big into the Beatles already has all their work, and even if they were missing somethings the real fans would demand high quality tracks than those currently available on iTunes (it would be great if the tracks were DRMless though).That being said, I am sure some folks are excited about Sir Paul McCartney's announcement that his next release will be his first available for download via iTunes. He also says that the Beatles catalog is very close to being available online.

While I feel the choreography seemed to be a last minute thing, the sound system playing the Beatles music was absolutely fantastic. Not too loud it enveloped me with their music in a way that no sound system has ever done before. It was just absolutely amazingly great!
If there was just someway to get sound like that out of an iPod ...
One word. Remastered.

Even if you already own the entire catalog - you'll want to re-purchase it. The sound quality will be incredible compared to the early 90's CD's. Pick up a copy of "1" or "Love" and compare the sound quality to those original CD's. Night and Day.
