More Speculation for Tomorrow: Beatles on iTunes

[millertime021]

So we have 7, 10, 3 and 12. Add this up, you have 32. Take this and divide by four and you have 8. Need I say more?

Unless we are talking 24 hour time.

Then we have 7, 10, 15, and 0. This gives us 32 as well.

You sir have just won.

According to CBS News. Tomorrow's announcement, is officially The Beatles on iTunes

Yawn.

Oh good god no, i hope it's not that the stupid beatles music will be available on itunes. who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😱

 

[Surely]

If that is all it is, I would bet money that the Beatles powers-that-be requested this kind of hype/announcement as part of the agreement. I'm sure Apple is more current and knows better.

I agree with this.

I predict everyone will download at least one Beatles tune as long as they end up as a Free Single of the Week.

But then, I can see the complaining comments now: "This free song sounds so old! You call this pop? C'mon iTunes can't you get any good bands? Who wants to listen to a band named after a bug?"

I don't agree with this. I own enough Beatles stuff, and don't listen to it much at all anymore. I have no reason to download more just because it's on iTunes.

Paul is dead.

EDIT: inb4 the albums are the ****** 1988 remasters and not the 2009 remasters

ok ive been thinking and my hope has been revived 😀

im thinking its not JUST the beatles....they are just a side not the really big thing, perhaps they are related to it in some way....and for some reason they just decided to use the beatles to for hints to the announcement

here's to more than JUST the beatles!!!

Think different. 😀

WSJ says it's the beatles.

The very definition of anticlimax if it is The Rutles.

 

[Consultant]

That is some nutty speculation.

 

[richpjr]

This would have been big news...40 years ago. As others have mentioned, most fans already have their CDs. I can't image there is much of an interest at this time.

 

[cxny]

yawn, I'd be about as interested in the Rutles.

oops, someone said that already

 

[Sam Yikin]

Oh, and chance that 90 second previews are coming is around 110%.

 

[RalfTheDog]

I have inside information. Not Beatles, Yoko Ono.

I think this would definitely be a great move for both the artists and Apple. Many younger children and teens aren't into the Beatles. Also, many teens don't buy CD's anymore but just get a few songs on iTunes. I personally own all of the Beatles' songs on CD but this would be a great move. I would be disappointed if this was the only announcement, since it really won't have an effect on me, and it definitely won't be one that I remember for the rest of my life. Maybe cloud iTunes and iOS 4.2? 90 second previews? Something we never saw coming?

Remember, big to Apple doesn't mean big to all of us. This is Apple's ego on full display.

Back to the future?

I love the Beatles. My sons, their friends and myself have all their music in our iPods, iPhones, iPads. It will not be a day that I will not forget if the Beatles is all you've got.

Give me streaming live tv, the cloud, PowerBook G5, or even an iMac and I may remember this day.

Good point. Teens have a HUGE influence on the iTunes store, I mean, just look at the top charts! My generation buys catchy music for convenience, and Beatles on iTunes is almost the exact definition of that.

The day the reality distortion field died...

 

[bmaltais]

This would be one major let down! Come on, the Beatles are good but I have not listened to them in ages nor cared about them for years now... and I have their CDs... so Beatle would be a day I would remember? Maybe as the dumbest publicity stunt...

First off I stated previously that Soundhound app gave it away w new iTunes links from Beatles songs. Second, the Beatles are and will always be the best band in the history of mankind. They more than deserve the hype.
