Apple, Beatles Label Plan Announcement
Apr 1, 6:23 PM (ET)(AP) Apple CEO Steve Jobs plays a Beatles song on iTunes as he introduces the iPhone at the MacWorld in...
Full ImageLONDON (AP) - Record company EMI Group PLC said Sunday it planned to unveil "an exciting new digital offering" with computer company Apple Inc. (AAPL), raising expectations that The Beatles' music catalog is about to be made available through Apple's iTunes online music store.
EMI said it would hold a news conference Monday at its London headquarters with its chief executive, Eric Nicoli, and Apple boss Steve Jobs "and a special live performance."
The company gave no further details.
EMI has been The Beatles' record label since the early 1960s.
The Beatles have so far been the most prominent holdout from iTunes and other online music services, and Apple's overtures to put the music online were stymied by a long-running trademark dispute with The Beatles' commercial guardian, Apple Corps. Ltd.
In February, Apple Inc. and Apple Corps resolved their legal feud over use of the apple logo and name, paving the way for an agreement for online access to the Fab Four's songs.
Apple Corps was founded by the Fab Four in 1968 and is still owned by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, the widow of John Lennon and the estate of George Harrison.

in front of 400 people...
Wasn't this the announcement that you said was coming during the Superbowl? Wrong, no matter when or what.
This sniping is beyond ridiculous.
I assumed that being April 1st, it was merely a (successful) attempt to snare Dui in a net of his own making!!!
Oh....
has to come to an end sooner or later. I like sooner.
The agreement means that customers of Apple's iTunes store will soon be able to play downloaded songs by the Rolling Stones, Norah Jones, Coldplay and other top-selling artists without the copying restrictions once imposed by their label.EMI said almost all of its catalog, excluding music by The Beatles, is included in the deal.

With profanity no less!!!
Another nut with an inability to just admit you are wrong.Hint: that ain't a sign of good mental health.
