(and yes I own the Beatles CDs and made my own mp3s)

Same here. I bought the "Beatles In Mono" box set when it came out, ripped every CD to 320 kbps MP3 for my iPod. Don't buy CDs much anymore but that one was worth it.

I suppose the irony is that Beatles purists favor the mono mixes for albums originally issued in mono so any hype about remixes/remastering will be largely wasted.
