Is there a place on the interweb where all music/albums/artists/composers are listed/rated/etc. like there is for movies?

Well there is Gracenote where iTunes gets its data from. Not quite like IMDB though......

No ratings But LastFM Has Artist info album listings etc, you can listen to music on there too. Not Quite IMDB but good all the same.

I find the iTunes Store quite informative, actually. Though no Beatles in there, of course.....

JD,

At least you can add Beatles Radio to iTunes.

Advanced, Open Audio Stream, then paste in http://www.beatlesradio.com:8088/
