The reason I’m interested in the Apple-iTunes deal is because the new downloads *are* remastered. Once iTunes releases the Beatles catalog, it’s only a matter of time before it is also rereleased on CD.

And, as you say, who cares about downloads?

iTunes, shmyTunes. Unlike all the other people who live and die by downloading songs, I will never give up QUALITY for CONVENIENCE. Listening to downloaded music thru earbuds has about as much sonic quality as a fifth-generation copy of a worn-out 8-Track.

The whole Beatles-On-iTunes saga kinda reminds me of the Chinese Democracy saga. It’s been reported over and over and over again with release dates being thrown around every couple months. Of course, the Beatles catalog on iTunes is much more likely to happen. In fact, just about anything is more likely to happen.

Agreed!

Agreed!

Why is everyone picking up this story? It originated in one of the most disreputable London tabloids as part of Macca’s divorce story. Hardly credible information. Besides, Paul can’t agree to ANYTHING on his own.

Screw downloads. We want REMASTERS!
