Is this just iTunes?

Or will their songs be downloadable elsewhere in MP3 format?

Wow, I only read a news report they were in talks at about lunchtime

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11763650

Loving Steve Job's pun:
Apple chief executive and Beatles fan Steve Jobs said it had "been a long and winding road to get here".

So that's what this 'special announcement' was that iTunes said about yesterday.

Isn't a charity shop the best place to buy over-rated bland old music?!

It's only iTunes at the moment (legally).

If by trolling, you mean encouraging people to give their money to a charity shop rather than McCartney and Steve Jobs, then perhaps yes.

What a fool

The Beatles will be remembered for a very long time unlike most of today's music.
They are NOT over-rated and certainly NOT bland, The Beatles are and always will be The Best.

No, it was calling the music overrated and bland. Generations of listeners would disagree, most strongly.

What a muppet

I think mostly everyone has the beatles songs now and plus the albums are pretty expensive especially the white album.

I'm not the biggest Beatles fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I can still recognise their talent and popularity as one of the first pop music bands in the mainstream. I have the album '1' which has got some of the best singles of it's decade.

I do feel it is nice that their music has finally been put on iTunes after all this time, albeit at extortionate prices.

Amazon CD price: £7.99

Which iTunes would that be then?

iTunes UK says albums £10.99; double albums £17.99; the lot (Box Set) £125.

So £3 excess for the albums but these days a lot of people don't want physical product. Sadly.
