who, at this point, doesn't have all the Beatles music they want?

Posted by Reagen (aka Reagen) Nov 16 '10, 13:10

And hadn't digitized it from their existing CDs?

Responses:

Yet, much like Star Wars, the stuff still sells time and time again. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 13:17 2
- Beatles and Stars Wars fans are stupid. We know this already. -- nm - David Nov 16, 13:19 1
  - I know that...but Apple knows to yell it loud and proud and get their cut of the stupid. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 13:20
what does that have to do with whether people keep buying it? - loosilu Nov 16, 13:15
me, actually. some of the files in that torrent were bad. -- nm - zork Nov 16, 13:13
confession: i don't own a single Beatles thing. i like them but don't think i've every bought an album in any format - bonny prince pixie Nov 16, 13:13 1
- Likewise, except I own Beatles Rock Band. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 13:16

Young people? -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:11 40
- They know how to digitize music. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:13 39
  - And have already ripped their parents' CDs. -- nm - Ender Nov 16, 13:15 2
    - Oh, I'm sure Beatles music is stolen more than any other. And it will still sell shitloads. - loosilu Nov 16, 13:16
    - *ding* -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 13:15
  - You think they should have to buy it on CD and rip it? -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:15 13
    - No, I'm wondering who wanted to and hasn't. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:17 12
      - I have all their studio albums, but I'll be checking iTunes for singles etc that I don't have -- nm - Roger More Nov 16, 13:20
      - You understand that people keep getting born, right? Somebody may be 10 right now and decide they want Beatles music sometime in the next 10 years. -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:20 9
        
        MDH doesn't even know who they are. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 13:23 1
        
        Were they the backup singers for Gaga last summer? -- nm - MDH si Nov 16, 13:24
        
        Oh, so why didn't they say this announcement was for 10 year olds? -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:22 5
        
        I guess they didn't realize people could forget about the whole concept of posterity. -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:23 2
        
        Fact: All Beatles songs were unpurchasable before today! -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:25 1
        
        Physical media is dead, so, yeah. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:25
        
        usually you are not so unimaginative. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:23 1
        
        Usually you are this tunnel-visioned. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:24
        
        Fact: I have bought Revolver three times. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:20
      - well, the reissue is remasters, for starters. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:18
  - that would require them having access to optical or magnetic copies ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:15 21
    - Which their parents have had laying around for 20 years... -- nm - Ender Nov 16, 13:16 14
      - CDs get lost, stolen, broken, corrupted. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:19 13
        
        which is why they ripped them ten years ago. - Reagen Nov 16, 13:19 12
        
        what part of "remasters" don't you understand? -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:21 5
        
        Remasters. The "Barbie gets a new hat" of music releases. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:23 3
        
        I don't know why you're being like this. - loosilu Nov 16, 13:25 2
        
        This is like the 4th Beatles remastering. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:26 1
        
        nope. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:27
        
        meesa jar-jar ringo -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:22
        
        What part of "young people" don't you get? Not everyone was born when you were. -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:20 5
        
        which brings me back to the point of disputing that this is actually big news. "Oh it's for ten year olds." -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:23 3
        
        check the sales figures in a week and tell me how unimportant it is. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:24 1
        
        They definitely picked a good time to launch it, just in time for christmas shopping. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:25
        
        This is big news in the same sense that finding the client's keys in Zero Effect was big news. - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:24
        
        or "people". not everyone becomes interested at the same time. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:22
    - [deleted]
    - (actually, that makes me wonder - does vinyl count as optical?) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:15 4
      - It's pretty much the definition of "analog". -- nm - Ender Nov 16, 13:17
      - only in the sense that it's visible. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:17 1
        
        it could be played using lasers ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:17
      - I don't see how. -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:16
*raises hand* - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:11
