Looking for an adorable and easily stealable way to consolidate the entire Beatles catalog? Have no fear, EMI has your back. The record conglomerate may still be at odds with iTunes when it comes a digital release for the fab four, but that doesn't mean there aren't, um, more creative distribution methods. Take this new Apple-shaped USB key from the company, which features 14 Beatles albums, 13 mini-documentaries, and all of the requisite art work.
The USB Apple is being released worldwide in a limited edition of 30,000 on December 7th (December 8th in North America). The 16GB Apple offers songs in FLAC 44.1 Khz 24 bit and MP3 320 Kbps. This key will set you back $279.99. You can pre-order it now from the official Beatles store.

I'm assuming there is no drm involved with this since they're going with FLAC format... is that right?
I would hope at least that the USB drive is set to be read-only... otherwise you could really destroy your collection accidentally!

This is a rip off. No not the Beatles USB key I think it is a great idea. They want 21.95 for shipping. Give me a freaking break. Live Nation Sucks BIG time.
