				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://venturebeat.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/acdc.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-576939" title="ACDC" alt="ACDC" src="http://venturebeat.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/acdc.jpg?w=655&#038;h=516" height="516" width="655" /></a></p>
<p>Legendary rock band AC/DC is finally bringing its <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/ac-dc/id5040714" target="_blank" target="_blank">entire discography of music to Apple&#8217;s iTunes store</a> &#8212; ending the band&#8217;s longstanding resistance to selling its music digitally.</p>
<p>With <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2012/10/02/digital-music-sales/" target="_blank">digital music sales now firmly surpassing physical album sales</a>, very few large music groups can afford to withhold their work from such a large digital store like iTunes. AC/DC held out longer than The Beatles, Kid Rock, and Metalica. To my knowledge, only Garth Brooks remains as one of the last big arts to stay off iTunes.</p>
<p>Personally, I&#8217;m curious about whether AC/DC music will make much money on iTunes at this point. I&#8217;m assuming most of the hardcore fans have already ripped their CDs and added them to their iTunes library, or taken the less legal strategy of pirating them.</p>
<p>However, if you haven&#8217;t already used the methods above, the band is offering some pretty decent deals for their debut. You can purchase 16 individual AC/DC remastered albums,  a studio collection for $100, or the complete catalog for $150 with live performance albums included.</p>
<p>The announcement didn&#8217;t contain any indication of whether AC/DC songs would soon start appearing on streaming music services like Spotify or Pandora.</p>
