    I don't use iTunes. Using iTunes feels like you are donating money. The record industry has a lot of work to do to stop this feeling. They haven't got a clue.

    Yawn - 12.99 for a 30 year old album - wonder if it will appeal to anyone under 30?

    You mean the music or the actual paying for the music?

    If you mean the former, you hav'nt a clue!

    I grew up in the 60s, my older sisters were bad Beatles fans, me hated them. Not a fan today either, not buying.

    It's a huge Meh!

    Surely anyone who is into the Beatles will either already have their albums or will have gone to the shop to buy them rather than sit and wait for them to become available on itunes. Much ado about absolutly nothing

    I would have thought so but I'm sure they'll still find their way onto the itunes charts

    Starting in about 18 months the copyright is going to run out on Beatles Songs as they'll be 50 years old.

    I reckon they'll be free to download, cheap to buy then.

    it was extended to 70 years - you'll have to wait until 2032 before you can (legally) download Love Me Do for free I'm afraid.

    I have all the CDs already. Downloading is the work of the devil, CDs all the way.
