Apple to drop price of iTunes Plus?

Will I be able to upgrade my songs for free now, if I bought non-Plus songs for $.99 that are now only $.99?

Barnaked Ladies Are Me and Barenaked Ladies Are Men, as in the picture, specificially.

Er, oops, strike the above comment, I got two groups' labels swapped in my mind. Sister Sledge is on Atlantic Records (i.e., Warner Music Group). It's Eiffel 65 that's on Universal.

Does this mean both of those labels will be added to iTunes Plus? Yeah, I'm doubting it too, but it does seem awfully strange...

Another interesting observation... note some of the tracks on the iTunes Plus Dance charts:

Not all these tracks are currently iTunes Plus. Even more bizarrely, there's one Universal Music artist (Sister Sledge) on the list. Hmmm...

Should we expect to see lower prices on DRMed songs as well?

There are a few albums in Plus format out today...I went to download a friends incredible new album and do a test between eMusic and iTunes and was pleasantly surprised to see it was in Plus Format for $0.99.

If you are interested check out Monsdrum -- Folktronic at http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=258599532&s=143441

It sounds incredible.

Sadly, none of my other friends albums have been converted up yet. (Though I did notice Flight of the Concord's first album is now upgradeable and it is on Subpop -- as well as Seu George's Cru is as well -- both selling tracks for $0.99 -- neither of these are independent or an EMI subsidiary for all I know).

I want a 30 cent subsidy from Apple for all the plus songs I downloaded. I am outraded >:-(

The iTunes Store is totally screwed up. I was looking at an album and it said it was iTunes Plus. I went to see it again to purchase it and it changed back to a iTunes AAC 128kbps song. This also happened with Iron and Wine's the Shepherd's Dog. I have the protected version and the non-DRM is the same price only days later. I asked for a refund and they said they will be refunding me for the Iron and Wine CD. I suggest if you do not have to buy on the iTS this week, I wouldn't. This same thing is happening with ringtones. Sometimes ringtones are there and other times they are not.

Also Itunes plus songs here in OZ are currently $2.19au ($1.99 for non plus tracks) which converts to $1.96us So now US store is charging $0.99??
Were used to paying a bit more for everything here but NOT DOUBLE! come on Apple.

well i guess here in Australia, we wont be getting any discounts as the Amazon store is only for US customers (as the world ceases to exist beyond that blue watery thing) So its just Itunes for us. Every other online music seller here is Windows Windows Windows

The new Sub Pop releases, Iron & Wine and Band of Horses, are available in 99c iTunes Plus.
