This otherwise unremarkable USA Today interview with Steve Jobs had one funny moment, where Steve Jobs explains why people will buy The Beatles once they're available on the iTunes Store.

Q: Many people already have Beatles music on CDs. Will they really buy it online if they already own it?Given the value of Steve Jobs's time, that probably makes sense. Not sure it does for most of us, though. Also, wouldn't such a hard-core fan want high-fidelity tracks, which 128-bit AACs really aren't.
A: I do expect them to, yes. That's been the case with other music, as well. I own every Bob Dylan album ever, but I buy a lot of it on iTunes, because I guess I'm just too lazy to rip it from the CD.
