Tuesday, Nov. 16th, 2010, The Beatles, their surviving heirs and their misguided management finally allows the sale of their music as digital downloads on Apple's iTunes Store.
Just the day before, Apple changed the front page of official website and told us “Tomorrow is just another day. That you’ll never forget.” Actually, when we compare this picture with the album art of Help!, amazing similarity.
“Starting today, all 13 of the band's classic remastered studio albums with iTunes LPs, among them Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road, the two-volume Past Masters compilation and the iconic Red and Blue collections are now available for purchase and download via iTunes as either albums or individual songs ($12.99 for albums, $19.99 for double albums and $1.29 per each individual song).”
It's been almost seven years and seven months since the iTunes Store opened for business as the iTunes Music Store. More and more music, movies, books becomes to a digital code and download in iTunes. The Beatles, as a greatest band in our history, was still loyal to entity. We can find that CD is fading away.
Compare to CD, DVD still lives and Blu-ray shows a young life and impact on our digital life fiercely. I have never purchase any movie from iTunes. I download music because I always listen to it when I was jogging, walking or other things without concentration. I don’t care how good the sound quality and I also can’t in that situation.
But the movie is different. I will sit down and watch it for at least 90 minutes and I need to focus to it. So I want the best image and sound quality. As for me, the best quality of movie is from Blu-ray disc. I should to say that HD movie in iTunes is still not as good as Blu-ray although better than DVD.
I always play DVDs and Blu-ray discs with Toshiba BDX2700 which is compatible with DVD disc and my HDTV. But I will also convert them to 720P videos with Leawo Blu-ray Ripper; because when I was out for work, I should spend my free time with portable computer or iPod Touch4.
As music is going to out of CD, media with entity will be vanished in future? That should be in some decades. Whatever, in that age, I believe we have a better way to enjoy our life.
