That's why I can't do audiobooks when I'm working, but I first got into audiobooks on long road trips between Montreal and Toronto (5 hour drive). I guess you're right!

You could put yourself into the poorhouse with all these monthly subscription services these days.  Cable TV, Netflix, Xbox Live, Gamefly, Cell Phones, Internet, now iTunes?!?! AAAHHHH!!  It all adds up to hundreds of dollars a month and you wind up owning nothing, zip, zilch, nada.  It's all a scam, to bankrupt us poor fools of our hard earned cash, and I hereby announce I am forgoing it all, moving off the grid.  Going back to the old days of five TV channels, land line telephones, and the internet was some kind of crazy new hairstyle.
LOL Yeah! I was thinking about getting gamefly or the Zune pass, but I'll wait until my Audible subscription ends.

I tend to use iTunes for Podcasts and Audiobooks - so I will not use this feature.  I buy one or two songs here and there, but nothing that would warrant a subscription.  I would for audiobooks though..

I will not be doing this. They just don't have all the music I listen to.
Ripley: Ash. Any suggestions from you or Mother?
Ash: No, we're still collating.
Ripley: [Laughing in disbelief] You're what? You're still collating? I find that hard to believe.

WSJ just said the announcement is The Beatles are coming to iTunes finally.

That's it?!?  They have been talking this up like it's a day you'll never forget.  I do like the Beatles, but frankly they are WAY late to the party on this if that's the big thing for tomorrow.

I can't buy that.  That is way too much fuss over a single artist.  No, apple wouldn't give some great teaser over something that isn't theirs.  If that is truly it...then wow.  Fail.

Well, to be fair, the Internet has been hyping this, the company simply put put areas release. It is a big deal, they have been going back and forth for years and no one has the Beatles catalogue in a digital format until this, so I'm not sure what party they are late to.  :confused

When you guys were speculating earlier I had no idea where any of that was coming from to be honest.

Exactly. I am not sure what they are late to? This is a very big thing for digital media.

Why? 

Sorry, but The Beatles is not that big of deal to me so why all the fuss over them?  They were a great band at the time but we give them a lot of treatment here lately. 

Yeah, I probably should be running at this point away from the rabid beatles fans coming at me with pitchforks and swords....

Apparently, either that or I'm too meh/jaded @ music artists these days.  They simply don't elicit that much response out of me, not the point of fanboiness that I have with Apple.

Yup.  I just admitted that.

Between 1.1 and 1.2 billion sales of records. Every year they cross generations of listners and still top record sales...

Good grief...still, I go back to what I said earlier, if this really is a big teaser for a digital version of the Beatles, I still don't see what the fuss is all about.  We have many artists constantly joining iTunes and Amazon in the Digital era and w/e else so this just makes me wonder why. 

Does tomorrow happen to be special to the Beatles in anyway?
