As of January 29th of this year, you are allowed to select which songs you want to convert. I converted selected song last week. This is why Josh was able to convert his songs, and those prior to the 29th were unable to select which songs they wanted to covert to ITunes Plus.

Actually … as “WithClue” indicated, we do all have iPods in my house, but I also use Microsoft Windows Media Center, and a Media Center Extender that reads my MP3’s, and streams them to my rec room and my sound system. It does not have a Codec for AAC (or MPeg-4) … as Microsoft and Apple don’t play well together. As a result, I tend to rip in MP3 format, and at this point can’t play my iTunes downloads other than on my iPod. Amazon’s are fine of course. I know I can plug my iPod into my receiver, etc, but I currently can use my TV as a monitor and select songs or playlists via Media Center … which I prefer for this purpose. Hoping to find a plug-in for Media Center for AAC files. Not EVERYTHING is compatible, as you can see.

I just picked and chose what songs I wanted and left the rest in the original format

I think what he meant was that you have to convert your entire library of PREVIOULSY PURCHASED iTunes songs, not all songs in the library. Obviously, the songs from CD’s are probably ripped at a higher quality. If there is a way to selectively upgrade prior iTunes purchases, why don’t you enlighten us all WithClue!!

Hey Guys,

Can someone explain to me why DRM is such a big deal, I know it is a novice type question but go easy on me :-) How is it different from my other itunes music? can I now copy my songs to as many ipods as I want? I fully understand the bit rate / lossless sound improvement, but don’t get the rest?
Thanks

All or nothing — not a particular satisfying transition. Why, other than profit maximization, would Apple not permit iTunes users to select which tracks to upgrade to iTunes Plus?

You’re right about only one thing Jason. You don’t get it. Whatever you have just described has nothing to do with Itunes Plus. Your ability to come to the conclusion you just did, and then use that to come to the conclusion that Apple is “screwing customers with stellar design” suggests you probably shouldn’t leave messages in forums where people spell out entire words to communicate.

Before you leave a comment on an article which has actual, important ramifications that people will have real reactions to, try to understand enough to have an opinion. So far, you’ve got ignorance, and that’s about it.

Wait a minute – you still download a DRM’d version, but have the opportunity to create a SECOND version of the exact same song that’s in MP3 format?

I don’t get it? Does Apple figure that most people won’t be able to figure this out, so they’ll be forced to keep buying iPods?

Why not just let people download MP3s directly?

Apple’s knack for hiding the screwing of customers with stellar design is starting to wear thin.
