08:42 AAPL Apple: Beatles ready for legal downloading soon - FoxNews.com (84.88 )

FoxNews.com reports the Beatles songs — all of them — will be offered for downloading soon. That's what Neil Aspinall, the head of Apple Corps and the man who's protected the Beatles legacy for the last 40 years — said over the weekend. "All 13 core albums, the ones originally released on CD in 1987, have been remastered," Aspinall said. "At some point they will all be released, probably at the same time."

Now that Aspinall has "won" his longstanding lawsuit with Apple, he says downloaded Beatles songs will be coming soon. The Beatles, sources say (and not Aspinall), may have won royalties on Apple iTunes/iPod hardware as part of the settlement. The settlement didn't address downloading. But now Aspinall says that when the Beatles songs do get put on the Internet officially, "it will be on all the services, not just one."
