Paul McCartney on iTunes, Beatles Soon?

One additional press release from Apple yesterday alongside the MacBook release was the pre-ordering availability of Paul McCartney's new album "Memory Almost Full" from Apple's iTunes store. This represents his first digitally distributed album:

Paul McCartney is one of the greatest musicians of all time, and we're extremely excited to offer his first digitally distributed album on iTunes, said Steve Jobs, Apples CEO.


News of the deal first emerged last week with McCartney also revealing that the Beatles catalog would also soon be available for sale online.

I think Sony owns them now. Jacko, if you remember, ran into some financial problems.

I used "mp3" to mean "generic digital music file". After all, even "AAC" has a "m4a" extension. I didn't want to confuse any of our friends in the RIAA.
