I was searching for some music to buy today and ran across a few old albums I had purchased a few years ago that are now available in iTunes Plus. Granted the cost is "only" $9.99, but I've already paid once, is there a way to upgrade the songs at a lower cost?

Try this link. It should open iTunes and display an option to upgrade your library for US .30c a song or 3.00 per album. I see you're in Canada, so I don't know what it'll show you from up there.

ColdWarrior >> yup, I checked the Press Release, but I believe it specifically says you can upgrade EMI music, but doesn't specify all music (the one's Ii'm trying to upload are Tamil (Language) music, and I'm not quite sure which label released the songs outside of India.

I'll give the link a try when I get home, hopefully it works! Unfortunately I left my laptop off at home today so I can't log in remotely and try it right away... and its killing me!

coldwarrior >> finally got around to trying out the link you sent me, it worked like a charm. Turns out I had a few other albums that could be uploaded, needless to say I'm a very happy camper. Thanks!

I don't know how it works in the US store, but for the UK store, from the home page of the store click the iTunes Plus link in the Quick links box in the top right of the window. On the next screen, it tells you if you have any songs to upgrade from standard to plus under a big Upgrade My Library banner in the middle-top of the page.

I'm in the Canada store, I looked and looked and didn't see the link. Its very likely it was there, but there's so much crap on the Itunes Store its hard for me to find anything. I searched, and searched in help but nothing came up that helped me find the Upgrade link.

But I'll keep it in mind for the future.

Should have posted this yesterday, but here is how it looks in the UK iTS - don't you have the box in that I've highlighted in Canada?
