Apple says Beatles on iTunes soon ...so what!
[Jim Bytes! - An IT Blog] Is anyone else tired of the remaining Beatles cashing in all the time ? Doesn't everyone who can rip or download MP3s already have at least one of their greatest hits albums, or that CD that has their entire catalog on 1 menu driven disc that was for sale underground a few years back ?

[Oreillynet.com] Neat Stuff in iTunes 4 Files - O'Reilly Mac DevCenter Blog: Today, the Beatles aren’t in the Music Store, but give it some time. Frankly, I’m more worried about the small-label artists, both the young punk bands on hole-in-the-wall labels, and the classic artists like Todd Rundgren, Elvis Costello, and Frank Zappa, whose stuff is on specialty reissue labels like Rhino and Rykodisc.
