This is Mac OSKIN.

More beats, more beats, more beats.

It is simply amazing the number of people lining up to say I

don't get the rumored Apple acquisition of Beats. Some say they don't get it but

they like it. Some say they don't get it but they like it some say they don't get it but they hate it and

some say they don't get it but they're willing to go along with whatever Apple

has in mind. Apple Insider had UBS analyst Steve Malunovich warming to the idea on Monday.

He issued a note saying he would love to hear what Apple has to say about the deal, assuming

the deal actually happens.

In the meantime, though, he's fine with the rumored $3.2 billion price tag, since

Beets is believed to clear roughly $1.4 billion a year in sales.

He also thinks Beets Music would be a good thing for Apple,

especially in light of what he calls the mediocre success of iTunes radio.

And he thinks the guys who designed the Beats headphones could aid Apple in the wearable devices market.

Because you know, Apple doesn't have anybody who's good at design.

While many have pointed out that Apple doesn't buy big brands or it hasn't at this point

anyway, Melonovitch thinks now is as good a time as any for the company to start.
