People must have been really waiting for this day. Why? Its not like its hard to get hold of The Beatles songs is it. If they are fans of The Beatles then surely most have them must have their music on CD anyway? Just import it to your iTunes library.
Or do they like to buy the same product on a different format? Maybe some of them even bought The Beatles back catalogue on Mini-disc.
Downloaded 3mps won’t last forever. What when the computer dies? Even if its backed up on an external hard rive, that could die one day. Or sometime in the future become redundant to some new format. That might seem hard to believe right now but twenty years ago who would’ve thought that something called an Mp3s would be the way most people listen to music.
There are other ways to loose Mp3s. Earlier this year I was trying to free up some space on my hard drive and I accidentally went a bit too far when I clicked the wrong button and lost a load of Mp3 files that I didn’t have backed up. To get most of these songs back I had to go to my folks place and go through my CDs stored in the garage and spent the whole afternoon importing them back on to my laptop.
Some of the lost files I had downloaded from iTunes but instead of buying them again I downloaded them illegally. I’ve bought it once so I don’t think that I should by it again.
When I was a teenager most of the music I bought was on tape and recently I’ve illegally downloaded some of those albums. Like Troublegum by Therapy and Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins. (I’ve yet to download the Ugly Kid Joe record and never will)
When CDs took over in the a the 80s people bought records that they already owned., and since then record companies have been trying to flog people the same product by bringing out remastered editions, which means the volume is a touch louder than on the original CD and deluxe editions which means there’s a few extra outtake songs that were never intended to be on the record in the first place.
