What Songs are iTunes Plus in iTunes 9 Store?
I just upgraded to iTunes 9. In the iTunes Store, you used to be able to tell which tracks were iTunes PLUS because they had a little "+" sign next to them. Now, none do? What does this mean? Is this a bug? Are ALL iTunes audio files now iTunes PLUS? Are none of them?
Unless something is ONLY available as the old 128kbps low-bit rate, DMR'ed file format, I will NEVER, EVER buy anything in that format. Period. I am only interested in the 256kbps, DRM-free iTunes PLUS files that are twice the bitrate and that I can play at work via VLC Portable since I can't install iTunes at work.
Can someone help me out? You can't even do a "GET INFO" on items in the store any more...
I'd greatly appreciate any assistance/insight.
Best Regards,
Zack
All songs in the store are plus now...a while back they made the switch; that's when they started charging .69/.99/1.29 for tunes....that was the compromise for DRM free tunes was variable pricing for the record companies.
Most DRM tracks in your library can be converted over to plus, the exceptions are anything you have gotten as a "free" download. Pretty much everything that downloads as a free song of the week (before the change) or via a redeemable code (I picked up a free itunes sampler a couple of years back) didn't get ther DRM removed and cannot be converted to plus.
Hope that helps.

Not all of my perviously purchaced songs are showing up on itunes purchaced link on my account. It show that I have already purchaced them in the itune store, but i have no way of downloading them back into my library.
If they aren't showing in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes) for redownloading then have you checked to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

My Itunes Library and iPhone have fallen out of sync on music over the yearsare - how can I compare my itunes library with my Iphone to see what songs are missing from my library so I can then bring my Library up to date
Hello Solid Buck,
Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing. It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone.
In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone. I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Hello together, I've a problem with some songs in my playlists on my new ipod touch. The error message says that the replay of the song isn't possible because the song isn't available or through DRM is restricted. All the songs are buyed in the iTunes Store. Give it a solution to activate the songs on my ipod touch ?
Do the non-syncing songs play in iTunes?
Were the syncing and non-syncing songs purchased with the same account?
Can you directly download the the songs to the iPod? See:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

IPod is showing duplicates of songs, but songs are not duplicated in iTunes.
iPod touch is showing duplicates of songs, but songs are not duplicated in iTunes... any ideas how to fix? Tried resyncing, didn't work.
I'm fishing slightly but you may have casing inconsistenices in artist or album names that cause the iOS firmware to see more than one instance of the album but with each getting all the tracks. Merging stuff in iTunes via sort fields may also have unintended consequenses on the device. Could you post back a screenshot or decribe the symptoms more fully, ie. exactly which menu screen you are in on the iPod, what is repeated etc. The songs menu for example can correctly list more than one copy of a song if it appears on different albums.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps youshouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

HT1420 how do I find out what computers are authorized on my itunes account?
How do I find out what computers are authorized on my itunes account? I want to add my MBP to my itunes account but I can't because I already have 5 computers authorized BUT I can't remember what computers I had authorized. I'm assuming iPhones count as computers in this instance.
ThanksI'm not aware that you can see a list anywhere - and no, iPhones (nor iPads or iPods) count, only computers do (but a computer could count more than once e.g. if you've updated or reinstalled the OS without first deauthorising it).
If you've reached the 5 computer limit then you can log into your account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising. -

Start using smart playlists, and tell iTunes to update using te smart playlists you create.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Homesharing gives you the option of seeing only the content in the shared library, that is not already in your own library. -

Seeing what songs are in what playlists
Although there are a few dicussions about this, I can't seem to understand the solution to it. So the question is, is it possible to see what songs are in what playlists and whether there are any songs not in a playlist, so I can organise them into one?
Thanks.You want something like this, where the Not in All Playlists smart playlist is not inside the All Playlists folder, but everything else that you want included is.
