Fortune: Beatles' catalog may be coming to iTunes

Fortune [url=http://money.cnn.com/2006/11/22/technology/apple_beatles_ipod.fortune/index.htm?postversion=2006112708]has learned[/url] that the [url=http://www.itunes.com]iTunes Store[/url] is close to a deal to bring the Beatles catalog online. Apple is said to be angling to become the exclusive online music store for the Beatles for a limited window of time.

Other music stores, such as Microsoft's MSN and Rhapsody, have courted the Beatles over the years to no avail, but it appears Apple is close to getting first dibs on the band's hits, the article adds. An Apple spokesman told Fortune that the company doesn't comment on "rumor and speculation."

"If the deal goes through, it will mark a Nixon-Brezhnev-worthy truce -- with the band's record label, Britain's EMI Group, serving as a peacemaker -- between Apple Computer's Steve Jobs and Neil Aspinall, the onetime Beatles road manager who is now guardian of the band's business interests under the rubric Apple Corps.," says Fortune.
