Meat the Beatles
Are the rumors true? Did iTunes land the Beatles finally? Tuesday is suppose to be the day of the big announcement. It is also rumored that the Beatles may be getting a special pricing arrangement too. And I would be ecstatic. It would be nice if iTunes allowed for a larger range of pricing, and let the market decide who wins or loses. Smaller groups on small labels may be willing to try to undercut the big name labels. Or artists may decide they don't really need a studio anymore and market there music directly. Anyway, it sure is nice that the Beatles have made their way to iTunes. At least so it seems.

Yes indeed - here are The Beatles!! If you look at pricing, it appears individual tracks are the same traditional pricing, while the albums are about $12.99, which I think is on par with regular CD sales. I admit I like being able to download some of my individual favorites!
They also put some cool videos and ads! And it would also have been nice to add streaming music, but that's a real struggle with the record companies! I hope that becomes a reality as soon as possible!
Have you tried Pandora? It has free streaming music but you can't pick the exact song. You can pick an artist and Pandora tries to pick songs from that artist and other similar to them. It is pretty cool.
I've thought about it, but never tried it. So, under your excellent recommendation, I will have to give it a shot!
