The Beatles are finally entering the digital age, after Apple announced today that the legendary Liverpudlians would now be available on iTunes. The group had long kept their catalog restricted from the popular online music site, but were finally able to reach a deal with Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

Jobs, who is a lifelong Beatle fan, looked to the band's Apple Records when coming up with a name for his fledgling computer company in the 1970s. Seeking permission from the group, Jobs was told he could use the Apple name, so long as he never entered the music business.

That all changed in 2001, when Apple turned the music world on its ear with iTunes, a blissfully convenient online store that sold music, and could easily be synced with their equally handy iPod portable music players.

Suffice it to say, the move did not play well with the Fab Four, and compounded by an inability to agree on pricing points for their songs and albums, their much beloved music has remained one of the largest gaps in the expansive iTunes store.

That is, until now. With the Beatles' entrance into Apple's digital marketplace, fans can now buy any or all of their albums. The iTunes store is already featuring the comprehensive Beatles Box Set, which includes 256 songs and an iTunes LP mini-documentary with a video of the group's first U.S. concert.

While the box set will set you back $149, individual albums are also available, with most priced at $12.99, and others, like The White Album, offered for $19.99. And as usual, songs can also be purchased piecemeal for $1.29 a track.
