Finally after 32 years, Apple corp. and Apple Inc. have resolved their differences. Which now means that The Beatles' music is available on iTunes.
Whilst this is a great thing generally; I'm a huge fan of The Beatles, I wonder if this will actually do the music any good; people will begin to lose the understanding of the context of the songs they're listening to when they can listen to each track individually without having to listen to the rest of the album. Many of The Beatles' albums need to be listened to as works of art in their entirety, each song just a small fragment of the bigger picture.
Maybe it will do more good than harm, exposure on iTunes means a whole new generation have access to their music, perhaps they'll be listened to forever.
Above all, great television ad. Understated, and classy:
