 |  "upgrading" sold music retroactively, like software Registered members do not see ads. Register or logon for a better view. The new iTunes Plus allows music "upgrading". Treating content like software and allowing post-sale upgrades is a relatively new concept. It's also exactly the kind of feature that proponents of DRM talk about, so it's ironic for the model to be pioneered as a part of the big DRM-free EMI deal. The entire concept of DRM looks a little more obsolete now. "iTunes Plus" stands for iTunes songs minus DRM—those that are available in DRM-free versions are available as 256Kbps AAC files and cost $1.29 per song. Users can also upgrade previously-purchased songs to DRM-free versions, if they are available, for 30˘ apiece. Full albums and music videos that are available in iTunes Plus format can be purchased with no bump in price from the old, DRMed versions.
