Streaming Beatles music? There's an iPhone app for that...

Beatles-A-Rama!!! debuts on the App Store.

You famously can't buy Beatles songs on iTunes - or indeed any digital music store.

The Fab Four's back catalogue is available on physical formats only for now, aside from an extremely limited-edition USB apple released last year.

However, you CAN now stream Beatles songs on your iPhone, courtesy of a US app called Beatles-A-Rama!!!

(The exclamation marks are part of the name - it's not that I'm furiously excited while writing this).

The app costs $3.99 (App Store link), and is an offshoot of an existing internet radio station of the same name. It streams Beatles songs and related tracks - for example solo output - over 3G, Wi-Fi or EDGE.

Because it's streaming radio, there's no ability to choose tracks on-demand, or even skip the ones you don't like.

There's even a 'Buy Song' button. One that will presumably remain unused for the actual Beatles tracks played on the station.

The app is also available on the UK App Store for £2.39.
