Why is EMI Classics music not available as iTunes Plus?

Why would the album "EMI Classics: Stokowski plays Bach" not be available in iTunes Plus format?

The weird part for me was that I bought an album listed as being a featured album in the iTunes Plus soundtrack section of the store, and though it was listed as being an iTunes Plus album and all of the tracks were listed as $1.29 and had the "+" icon next to them, it only downloaded the $0.99 DRM versions of the songs instead. (I agree, I'm not going to be buying DRM'd music now if I can help it thanks to having the option of choosing DRM-free music from EMI.)
I sent a message to the iTunes Store support staff since I expected to receive the iTunes Plus version, and they told me that the "playlist is not an 'iTunes Plus' eligible playlist" -- even though it clearly was listed as an iTunes Plus album when I clicked to buy it, it's now not saying that it's an iTunes Plus album and all of the tracks are only listed as $0.99. The thing that confuses me is that the soundtrack is listed as being published by United Artists Corporation (I'm assuming because they're the ones who made the movie), but the digital album booklet that came with the album clearly says at the end that it was published by Capitol Records (which is owned by EMI).
Why would the status of this album be reversed?
Another thing that confuses me, in the "Top Albums" section of the iTunes Plus portion of the store, are these supposed to only be albums that are iTunes Plus enabled? or the top soundtracks from the whole of the iTunes store? I'm finding a few that are listed here now but aren't iTunes Plus albums, and don't know if they were reversed like my album (though the one I purchased is listed as #15 right now in the top soundtrack albums) or what.

  • Why is the movie Anchorman not available in itunes?

    Why are certain movies not available?

    Because the studio that owns the rights to the film doesn't want to put it on iTunes, or may not have liked the terms of Apple doing so.

  • ITunes Purchases not Available for iTunes Plus Upgrade

    I have upgraded nearly 250 songs to iTunes Plus and have upgraded my library at every available opportunity, but I still have 155 songs that have not been available for upgrade. Many of the songs and albums that have not been upgraded are available for purchase in iTunes in the iTunes Plus format.
    Why are these songs not being made available for upgrade? I have emailed iTunes support but have not received a response. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a solution or information about if/when these purchases will be available for upgrade? Thanks!

    What can apparently happen is that for various reasons (replacement of a track in the Store with another copy, slight changes in the release identification, etc.) the link between the track and your Purchase History can break, which will result in the track not appearing as eligible for iTunes Plus upgrade even though it exists as Plus in the Store.
    What you'll need to do is contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form at the bottom of the Purchase Issues FAQ web page (there is no category specifically for this issue, so I'd suggest just picking one under the Purchases - problem area) and explain the problem to them. If you've already contacted them via this form, wait a day or two and if you don't get a reply (and if you haven't even received the automated reply you may have a spam filter blocking Apple's messages), try again.
    It may take a couple of email exchanges to get past the "form" email responses, but eventually they should work out a solution for you. You may need to provide the track name, artist and order number so they can confirm the original purchase.
    Regards.

  • ITunes on my new Mac is telling me paid for music "not available in iTunes store"?

    I have had an iTunes account for years. Having just bought a Mac and synced iTunes, selected tracks on many of my iTunes store purchased albums are missing - e.g. tracks 2,3,4,7 & 11-  iTunes says "This album is not currently available in the iTunes store"
    The albums ARE available, and this is stuff I bought and have had synced successfully for a long time!
    Any clues anyone? This is rather random but I'm at a loss what to do...
    Many thanks

    Don't rely upon Apple to keep this stuff for you.  If an item gets pulled from the Store it will not be available for redownload even if you bought it.  Even if it is available for redownload, as you can see the system is not perfect and if you had transferred the library you would be done by now.  Since some of the tracks are donloading but others are not, and I am presuming you bought the whole album, you may need to contact iTunes Store customer service to resolve the redownload issue.
    Contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history or,
    iTunes Customer Service Contact - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html > Get iTunes support via Express Lane > iTunes > iTunes Store
    Apple recommends,  "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

  • Requests for Music NOT available in iTunes Music Store

    Hello,
    I was wondering when, if ever, will there be a place within iTunes Music Store to request music by an artist you already have but not their complete catalog. For example, you mention under Frank Sinatra's bio his Reprise years yet have nothing from his Reprise Years even though you still acknowledge that Sinatra Reprise was one of his best selling compilations.
    Also certain artists show up under compilations but not themselves. Example - Tim Miner. So my question is - is there a way to request an album or an artist and be alerted as to when they or the specific album has been added?
    Thank you

    I was wondering when, if ever, will there be a place within iTunes Music Store to request music by an artist...
    Its always been there!
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    Its near the bottom of the main Apple iPod + iTunes page. (it has an icon of a pencil next to it)
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    You can also, from the iTunes menu bar, go iTunes>provide iTunes feedback. That will take you to the music request page.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why is amazon instant video not available from itunes in australia?

    Please dont tell me its a creative rights issue.
    This is an example of apples my way or not at all.
    I can get amazon instant video on my tv, my pc and my nokia.
    But not ipad.. Bloody useless.
    One and only apple purchase
    Really really sad
    So much potential
    So much fascist behaviour from a vendor
    We are the customers

    Ask Amazon - they've let Apple have it in the US store, they are the ones who will need to grant Apple a licence to have it in the Australian store.

  • Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes and App Store on my iPhone? Nothing happens if I click buy for apps or music. If I then go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. If I then enter ID and password it does not save or link to account?

    Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens.

I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

    When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
    Good luck.

  • Why ebooks on ibooks is not available yet in philippines

    why ebooks on ibooks is not available yet in philippines

    Apple can sell things where the content providers have given them licenses to sell them - so if the book publishers haven't given them licenses to sell their ibooks in the Philippines then Apple can't sell them there.
    Until if/when the book publishers grant Apple licenses, do you have access to other ebook apps/stores that you can use instead ?

  • Why is the Good Wife latest episode still not available on Itunes Canada?

    why is the Good Wife latest episode still not available on Itunes Canada?

    FYI, the two episodes currently missing from iTunes Canada (Nov 17 "The Next Month" and Nov 24 "Whack-a-Mole") are available online for Global TV "subscribers":
    http://www.globaltv.com/thegoodwife/
    None of us are realy "Global TV subscribers", we are customers of one TV service provider or another, aka cable and satellite companies. Alas, I am in the situation where my service provider - Bell TV - has apparently not yet reached an agreement with Global, so I am hooped twice. I paid iTunes for a season pass that seems to have stopped delvering content. And I pay Bell TV for content which Global says I can only get in online form once Global and Bell reach some kind of agreement, although Shaw, Telus and Cogeco subscribers are already receiving it.

    Be nice if these companies could get their acts together, especially Apple iTunes.
    I've paid them $49.99 for the Good Wife season pass.

    Why is modern times by bob dylan not available on iTunes? I bought it on iTunes.

    I believe all iPad Smart Cases & colors for the 2nd, 3rd & 4th gen models have been discontinued except for the Polyurethane Dark Grey color. The reason you are likely seeing them on Amazon & other websites is that they still have stock. If you really want that color, you'll have to go through Amazon (or other) or check/call your local Apple Store to see if they may have the item in stock at that particular store.
