o Beatles Catalog Going Digital
London - The Beatles' lucrative catalog will soon be sold
in digital form online, according to the director of the band's
Apple Corps record label, Reuters reported. Neil Aspinall, the
band's road manager and now head of Apple Corps, testified that the
catalog is being digitally remastered, during the label's case
against Apple Computer -- over that company's forays into the music
industry. "I think it would be wrong to offer downloads of the old
masters when I am making new masters," Aspinall testified. "It would
be better to wait and try to do them both simultaneously so that you
then get the publicity of the new masters and the downloading,
rather than just doing it ad hoc." An Apple Corps spokeswoman
confirmed for Reuters that the label will make Beatles songs
available from online retailers, but dot not specify a date.

Youth-Focused Cellular Network Amp'd Mobile Raises $150 Million
Los Angeles - Amp'd Mobile, a youth-focused mobile virtual
network operator, announced on Thursday that it has raised $150
million in its third round of venture capital financing.
Participating in the round were new investors Intel Capital, Tudor
Investments, Rho Ventures, Qualcomm, Quilvest Ventures, Polygon
Investment Partners and Heights Capital Management; previous
investors MTV, Universal Music Group, Highland Capital Partners,
Columbia Capital and Redpoint Ventures also contributed. Los
Angeles-based Amp'd offers a cell phone service that includes
exclusive music, video, sports and games content that is geared
towards the youth and young professionals markets. The company,
whose content partners include MTV and Universal Music, plans to
launch its service nationwide by the end of the year.

o Fifteen
States Now Tax Downloads of Digital Music, Other Media
San Francisco - Fifteen states and the District of
Columbia now impose taxes on downloaded music, movies and books, and
other states are considering following suit, CNET News.com reported.
Among those states that currently tax downloads are Texas, Indiana
and Washington, while proposals to expand taxes to include downloads
exist in New Jersey, Vermont and Rhode Island. "More states are
beginning to tax downloaded products," Steve Krantz, of the Council
on State Taxation, told News.com. "Some are doing it through
specific legislation. Others are doing it through the interpretation
of previous law." Spokespersons for the states of California and New
York both told News.com that they don't believe downloadable music
and other media is taxable because it is not tangible property. "We
don't use any state or physical resources other than the networks
over which the digital goods travel, so it's pretty hard to justify
their requirement to tax at the state level on digital sales," David
Pakman, CEO of digital music retailer eMusic.com, told News.com.

o Report: 12% of
U.S. Population Listens to Internet Radio
New York - The U.S. Internet radio audience has grown 50%
over the past year, evinced by the fact that an estimated 12% of the
population (about 30 million people) reported having listened in the
past week -- up from 8% in 2005 -- according to a report from
Arbitron and Edison Media Research. The study also found that nearly
20% of 18-34 year-olds listened to Internet radio in the past week.
"Consumers are quickly embracing radio’s digital platforms and this
new research reveals that these advertising vehicles are becoming
increasingly viable," said Bill Rose, senior vice president of
marketing for Arbitron.

o XM
Satellite Radio to Refinance Debt
Washington - XM Satellite Radio, a subscription radio
service with more than 6.5 million subscribers, said on Thursday
that it plans to refinance its debt and establish a $230 million
revolving credit facility. Under the refinancing, the company plans
to replace higher interest debt with new lower interest debt,
lowering its ongoing interest expenses and extending the maturity
dates. XM said that it has launched a cash tender offer for notes
due in 2009 and 2010, with the offer set to expire on May 10. Once
that deal closes, the company said that it expects to open the
credit facility with an unnamed group of banks and financial
institutions.

o 102,000
Disney-branded DVD Players Recalled Over Battery Pack Hazard
Washington - Over 100,000 battery packs sold with
Disney-branded portable DVD players have been recalled, due to a
risk of overheating and possibly bursting while recharging. The U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission, along with China-based battery
manufacturers McNair Technology and Unitech Battery, and
Florida-based distributor Memcorp made the announcement on Thursday,
adding that consumers should stop using the battery packs and
contact Memcorp for a replacement. Some 17 battery packs have
already caused various injuries. The DVD players -- which feature
characters such as Mickey Mouse or the Power Rangers -- were sold at
electronics retailers and Disney theme parks for between $70 and
$130 from April 2005 through March 2006.
