Breuklen, are you sure about Apple Corps. owning the Beatle recordings? I always thought that EMI/Capitol Records actually owns the Beatles' master recordings. Apple Corps. according to Wikipedia "The company exists today, mostly performing as the licensing agent for Beatles-related products, and supervising reissues of Apple Records, plus new issues of Beatles recordings and related media." The surviving Beatles have a strong hand in how their recordings are re-issued: they at least have some artistic input in the re-mastering of their music. I checked a couple other sources, but couldn't find out definitely who owns the master recordings. Anyone else with more info on this topic? Macster2, when Michael Jackson bought the publishing rights of the Beatles catalog, he was making more off Beatles music than the Beatles themselves. Almost all music artists of the 60's got screwed by their record companies. Just think about Motown. As a huge Beatles fan, an avid Mac and iPod user, I'm very interested how this turns out on May 8. I won't affect me too much since I have all the Beatle CD's anyway, and have their entire catalog on my iPod.
