Linda,
Apple formerly ran a program that allowed you to replace DRM songs with non-DRM versions for 30 cents apiece.  That program was discontinued by Apple last year. 
You can still upgrade now, but it requires subscribing to iTunes Match and following the instructions by which to delete your DRM copy and download the non-DRM (iTunes Plus) matched copy.  See the section "Can I upgrade my previously purchased music to iTunes Plus?" in this guide: iTunes Store: iTunes Plus Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • HT1727 How do you upgrade previously purchased items to iTunes Plus from DRM

    I can not find the instructions on screen in the iTunes Store to upgrade purchased songs from the DRM files to the iTunes Plus style.

    Log into your iTunes Store account and look for an "iTunes Plus" link under the Quick Links:
    Click that. If nothing appears, then the iTunes Store doesn't think you have any tracks that are eligible to be upgraded and you may have to buy the tracks again if you want them in the upgraded format, or sign up for ITunes Match which should upgrade all those tracks.
    Regards.

  • HT1688 how do i get a purchased song from itunes to be my ringtone

    Please help me. I do not know how to take a purchased song and download it so it becomes my ringtone?? any help

    There are a number of free utilities and options for creating ringtones for music that does not include DRM protection.
    If the song you downloaded from the iTunes store includes DRM protection - not an iTunes Plus song, you must purchase the ringtone separate if a ringtone is available for purchase with a segment of the song.

  • How do I get a purchased song from iTunes to update a play count on my iMac when the song is played from my iPhone or macbook??

    I am big on my playcounts.  I would like to just be able to store desired music in icloud and have it available on any device.  BUT, is there a way for my playcounts to update on my imac (my main computer with all my music stored) when I play a purchased song from icloud on my iphone or macbook?
    Thanks

    You can't outright. You can extract a fragment of it and massage it into ringtone format for the phone to use. Search for the topic, the procedure has been posted in various occasions.

    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

  • How do i upgrade songs to itunes plus

    I have purchases that are DRM-protected that I would like to upgrade to DRM-free. Searching help here says to go to the iTunes store and 'follow onscreen directions' to upgrade them them to DRM-free. There are no options for doing this.
    Can someone please tell me if this can, in-fact, be done and, if yes, why on earth is it so hard to find out how???

    So I have been messing this problem for a couple days now. And after reading all the different posts concerning this I don't think it will ever be fixed so when it comes to renew match again I wont be. But hopefully with my messing around someone else might be able to get futher with it then I did.
    After renewing match I started having this problem. Could have come up sooner then that not sure but didn't get around to using it again after renewing it and was trying to clean up my music since I got a new pc for xmas.
    There as some songs, that don't show a purchase date, but very few that don't work that show they should play and are available to download that just don't work at all.
    But most that don't work, prob 90% or more, are purchased songs from itunes and show their purchase dates. They are songs that were eaither upgraded from their DRM versions when that itunes system was avaiable or ones I repuchased.
    Im just going to give an example because I think it will be simpler to explain it that way.
    I have Gravel Pit in my itunes 2 times...
    Gravel Pit, Album = Wu - Tang Clan's Greatest Hits,  iCloud Status = Matched, Purchase Date = 3/13/2006 - DRM version that was download when using the purchased link in the iTunes store.
    Gravel Pit,  Album = Wu - Tang Clan's Greatest Hits, iCloud Status = Purhased, Purchase Date = 12/8/2011 - This version wont download or play, the none DRM version.
    Now if I go delete the DRM version that shows matched in my folder and open and close iTunes a few times till the download icon reapears song purchased on 3/13 and redownloaded it, I will get the none DRM version I purchased on 12/8/2011. But the download link for the 12/8/2011 still would not work.
    Now if that is the actual issue with it or if there are other underling problems I don't know. But maybe someone else will be able to get futher with the issue then I did. Personally I'm just going to give up download what I can of any missing files and cut my loses and tell friends and fam not to get match its just not worth the headache.

    If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
    Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
    Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option

  • HT1420 how do i move a purchased song from one apple account to another

    how do i move a purchased song from one apple account to another

    The short answer is that you can't.  Purchases are tied to the AppleID used to buy them.  AppleID's cannot be merged, and the content cannot be transferred.

  • I recently purchased songs from itunes via my pc and I dont know how to get them onto my iphone? When I click the sync button it says I will lose all the music currently on my iphone.. Help :(

    I recently purchased songs from itunes via my pc and I dont know how to get them onto my iphone? When I click the sync button it says I will lose all the music currently on my iphone.. Help

    If you're syncing with a different iTunes library than the one you previously synced with, then there is no way around it. You're gonna loose the old data. The only way round it would be to make sure that all the music files on your iPhone is also in your iTunes library. If you still have access to the computer with the old library, you could copy the files on to an external harddrive, and then import them into your new iTunes library.
    If it is in fact the same library, then the music currently on your iphone, is also in your itunes library. Just make sure that the artists/albums/playlists, or whatever you sync contains these tracks, that you allready have on your phone and don't want deleted. What i do is, i create a playlist specifically for my iPhone, and i set it up to only sync with this playlist. Whenever i hear a track from my iTunes library or buy a new track that i want on my phone, i just drag it to this playlist and next time i synchronize, it's there without deleting anything else.
