Bono, Dr Dre and Mick Jagger were on hand as Steve Jobs launched the iTunesmusic download service for PC-using fans - in the US.

The software, which offers tracks for 99 cents, had previously only beenavailable to users of Apple Mac computers - who bought 13 million tracks insix months. Now it is also available to PC users - but still only in theUS. A European version is expected early next year.

'It's like the Pope of software meeting up with the Dalai Lama ofintegration,' said Bono, referring to the meeting of Microsoft and Apple.

U2 have made available three exclusive tracks, an acoustic version of 'StuckIn a Moment You Can't Get Out Of' and live versions of 'I Will Follow' and'Beautiful Day', both from the Elevation 2001 shows in Boston. They havealready proved amongst the most popular downloads from iTunes.
