The Beatles' back catalogue is finally available on iTunes, after years of negotiations.
It will mean that for the first time consumers will be able to purchase some of the Fab Four's most popular songs via the store.
Apple and record label EMI have been in talks for years about getting the catalogue online.
Apple chief executive and Beatles fan Steve Jobs said it had "been a long and winding road to get here".
"We love the Beatles and are honoured and thrilled to welcome them to iTunes," he said.
Sir Paul McCartney echoed his thoughts.
"It's fantastic to see the songs we originally released on
vinyl receive as much love in the digital world as they did the first
time around," he said.
Ringo Starr added: "I'm particularly glad to no longer be asked when the Beatles are coming to iTunes."
