As the excitement around the launch of the Beatles RockBand Edition grows so do the rumors, we hope this one true!
Apple: Will Beatles Finally Come To iTunes?
On September 9, Viacom will launch The Beatles: The Rock Band, a new version of the popular
video game featuring the Fab Four.
Also on September 9, EMI will released remastered versions of the entire Beatles music catalog.
And you know what else happens September 9? Apple is expected to hold a press event to announce, well, whatever – new iPods, updates to iTunes, maybe even a tablet PC.
So, here you can see how rumors start.
As MacRumors.com notes today, the fact that Apple is going to host a music-related event on a big day for Beatles fans has triggered speculation that September 9 might also be the day that the band’s music finally shows up on iTunes. Back in March, when EMI announced plans for a Beatles version of Rock Band, EMI and Apple Corps (which controls the rights to the bank’s music) noted that discussions on digital distribution were ongoing.
“While no further indication from EMI, Apple Corps, or others close to The Beatles or Apple have suggested that an iTunes deal is imminent, the timing of these events has unavoidably resulted in new speculation regarding an agreement,” MacRumors writes.
