- hobgobbler, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18If Apple inc. makes nice with Apple records, then Apple inc. can become a music company, and then they can put a 'publish to iTunes' button on Garageband, where up-and-coming garage bands can publish their music to iTunes, eventually destroying the RIAA, which is the first step towards world peace.
If you believe it will come true. - Eastlygod, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15No, it just means he bought the album. CD's do still exist you know.
- nreynolds, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14it stands for copper disc. you know, like a penny
- usermike2098, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Its just that the 'Love' album is coming to the store, not the original albums
- drunkentoad, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13What the hell is a C. . .D . . .?
- vudicarus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10sorry to be critical, but you forgot the question mark in the title:
Beatles on Apple's iTunes to FINALLY be Officially Announced? - MScrip, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Finally, I can buy the remastered Beatles collection... in glorious 128kbps AAC quality!
- macbwizard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Why join the navy when you can be a pirate?

thats my new life motto. i love it - dt40, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7A CD is an efficient way to buy high-quality, non-DRM digital music
- Elranzer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5An announcement of an announcement? Brilliant!
- dt40, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Maybe they want a version with DRM, because their existing non-DRM Beatles songs are just too easy to use on any music device they own.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Umm.. that'd be The Beatles, chief.
And McCartney sang that one, not Lennon. - GabeUtsecks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It was actually one of the few songs almost completely written by McCartney.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yesterday_%28song%29#Origins - DiggUmFrog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Actually i dont think that would happen because most people who listen to the Beatles already, have all their stuff. Why would people feel the need to buy it again?
- Anth, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5All you need is love...
- kingygk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's funny. I have most of the beatles albums on my computer all ready. Ripping your owned cd's is the way to go. It ensures a quality rip with no DRM. I heard they remastered the beatles collection prior to ripping them for apple. Long live the mp3 format. But i am excited that the new Alpine and Kenwood car decks will be supporting Apple's AAC format. I am tempted to upgrade my year old Alpine deck. Alpines new ipod cable rocks.
- benijuana, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3good to see the beatles finally on there, but i won't be joining any itunes parades until zeppelin joins the show
- Zero2aHero, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Can someone please explain to me why this is a story? Every fricken music store in the world has Beatles albums. The story makes it sound like the Beatles removed their album from store shelves worldwide, and iTunes will be the only place you can buy a Beatles song. Go to your local cd store tomorrow and you can buy whatever you want!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Paying money for DRM shít is so idiotic!
- SuperSnake2012, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I just hope Apple doesn't sell those awful '80s masters... I think a complete remastering of the Beatles' catalog is in order.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm just dyin' for the chance to upgrade from my MFSL copies of the albums to 128kbps AAC!
And at only like 10 bucks an album, that's a steal! - airencracken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The only reason The Beatles (Apple music) want this to happen now is because the copyright extension fell through in the UK so they figure they'll take what they can get while they still hold the rights to their music.
- onestep, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I still will never figure out why people care if the beatles are on iTunes or any other online service. If you are sincerely a Beatles fan, then you already have all of the music anyway, on CD.. and probably already ripped onto your iPod.
- kimzor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2When Jobs was playing with the iPhone at MacWorld there were a few Beatles on the ipod function.
- ismoke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Are you sure? Steve Jobs had the whole Sgt Pepper's album on his iPhone.
- fritzbrown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm too much of a music snob to let that one pass. From Lennon"s last interview, when asked his thought's on the song:
LENNON: Well, we all know about "Yesterday." I have had so much accolade for "Yesterday." That is Paul's song, of course, and Paul's baby. Well done. Beautiful -- and I never wished I had written it. - dvddesign, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3By some sick stroke of bad luck, every copy of the White Album I've owned has ended up destroyed somehow.
8 track format is gone, two cassette versions ruined through heat and crushed, and a CD copy ruined by an evil scratching Walkman and my last CD copy was lost to a car wreck. No wonder my boss won't let me borrow his first edition LP of it.
I think digitally backed up to multiple sources, CD's and HDD's from Apple (who promises a one-time redownload), I might finally be brave enough to buy the thing again. - Valkarie70, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh damn that's hard to sing in your head
- ThirdPrize, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They are coming out of copyright soon. That means the will remaster them all and flog them to the punters one last time. Well, someone has to pay for Pauls divorce.
- Beamerboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Clearly the people digging that one down aren't smart enough to realise what it actually illustrates.
- marinist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Really. Well, there's some subtlety aimed at Apple Records.
- lukychmz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2and just think,its been on mininova for years...congrats apple lol
- Elranzer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Didn't you get the memo? They're Apple, Inc now, not Apple Computer.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Death to MP3!
Long live FLAC! - windwaker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Hopefully this will encourage efforts towards remastering every Beatles album. So I can pirate them. : )
- drunkentoad, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Steve Jobs played The Beatles on his iPhone during the keynote speech. Does that mean he pirates his music???
- Eastlygod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They reckon if they released the entire back catalogue at once, downloads of Beatles tracks would make up the entire UK top 10, now the new chart change has come in. That would be fun to see...
- LuCiFer6, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So there was a method to Steve's madness. I was wondering why he would be bold enough to show The Beatles on his iPhone during last week MacWorld.
Of course that doesn't explain the whole Cisco iPhone fiasco... - wvdavis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@ hobgobbler – So your saying that if Apple Inc & Apple music make up and work together they can destroy the RIAA. Now with Apple’s announcement that the iPhone will be sold exclusively through Cingular (now AT&T, aka The NSA) that will mean that Apple, the Beatles & the US Government have joined forces to destroy the RIAA, but now can monitor not only your phone calls but also monitor your music downloads and what you listen to. Quite the debacle.
- chuckayoub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Finally for The Beatles...
http://www.myclassiclyrics.com/ - chuckayoub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The Brealtes Rule: http://home.att.net/~chuckayoub/the_beatles_lyrics.html
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Notice my comment?
It said that Apple Computers > Apple Inc. - Omnimax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sgt. Pepper's was also in the album art that was shown during the iPhone announcement.
- Beamerboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Presumably that would require Jimmy to come out of hiding from the tax man in order to negotiate the deal?
- TdiFFRob6876, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I heard of a rumor that says Apple Records, founded by the Beatles, and Apple Inc., founded by Steve Jobs and that other guy, have formed a treaty AKA contract that may allow iTunes to finally sell songs recorded by the most famous group the world has ever known. I think this would be a great move for iTunes and Apple Records, due to a report from last year that showed the Beatles' tunes as the most illegally downloaded.
I think the 10 cents that Apple Inc. actually makes from each song purchased is way better than getting nothing at all. I would like this union because every download is a guarantee. No more possible viruses or corrupt downloads on search engines such as limewire or all the other places ppl would refer as a good place to download. To me an entire collection of the Beatles all in one place is a dream. Its not free but it doesn't mean I have to buy Number 9. The only song the Beatles went wrong.
Oooo I just got this idea. A Beatles iPod Special Edition the hells with U2.
And a highly possible prediction...A new 2GB iPod Shuffle Black - schillid, on 01/21/2008, -0/+0YouTube now has a preview !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJrxU4V82AU - omaryak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Ripping from CDs is so 20th century.
- danrowe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0jbartley submitted this a full 8 hours earlier.
- sunchild, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Split infinitive and CAPITALIZED, too. Why do people digg cliff up all the time?
