The Beatles USB Memory Stick Includes The Beatles Remastered Stereo Discography
Author: artmaraut13 // Category: Entertainment
People have been waiting forever for The Beatles catalog to be available as mp3s to download so that their albums could be easily put onto an mp3 player. As of January 2010, The Beatles are still not available for download at AmazonMP3 or the iTunes Store but instead there is a cool little gadget known as The Beatles USB Flash Drive which holds all of the 2009 Beatles stereo remasters in the mp3 format.
This USB flash drive contains everything that is in The Beatles in Stereo Box Set except in a much more portable form! With this tiny memory stick you can carry The Beatles entire stereo catalog around with you in your in your back pocket.
When I tell you that the USB memory stick includes everything in the stereo box set, I really do mean everything. Yes, it even includes the previously unreleased photographs and the new liner notes. It also contains the short documentaries on the making of each album that are on the DVD.
But there’s more, this flash drive also includes 24bit FLAC versions of their stereo albums which are actually higher quality sound files than those on CDs! CDs are only 16bit, these FLAC files are 24bit. This truly makes The Beatles USB a “must buy” for any audiophile who needs to have these legendary albums in the highest quality available at this time.
One negative aspect is that this memory stick does not include the original mono versions that are in The Beatles Remastered Mono Box Set. If you want to listen to these legendary mono mixes then you’ll have to get the CD box set (at least at the moment.)
I purchased both box sets and the memory stick because I am a a real Beatles completest, of course not everyone has that kind of money available to spend on buying music (even when the music as awesome as this is.) If you are on a budget then you will have to think about how you most frequently listen to music. Do you play CDs or do just play mp3s on your Mac and your iPod? If it is the latter then the USB device is probably what you really need.
