Tip: Want the hassle-free life of an iTunes Plus library? Go to the iTunes Store and click the link or icon for iTunes Plus on the main page. You can upgrade your older tracks to iTunes Plus versions for 30 cents a pop?instead of having to buy them all over again at the full price. |

The copy-protection and restrictions are built into videos and some iTunes music tracks. Songs and other content in the high-quality iTunes Plus format are ?DRM-free??that is, free of the digital-rights management software that disables iTunes tracks after you hit your usage limits. In January 2009, Apple announced it was making iTunes Plus versions of just about all its 10 million songs. This means no computer-authorization or CD-burn limits; tracks will even work on non-iPod music players. But be careful about trading Store purchases around the Internet?the name and email address on your iTunes account are easily visible on the file?s Summary screen (page 78). |

Note: The 99-cent song was the set price in the iTunes Store for years, but as of April 2009, Apple is mixing things up a bit thanks to new deals with the record labels. Depending on the track, it could cost 69 cents, 99 cents, or $1.29. Albums remain dependably steady at about $10 a shot. |

| Printed | Page 131 Middle paragraph; add after the last sentence: |
In January 2009, Apple announced it was even doing away with restrictive copy protections built into most songs in the Store. This liberating act gave customers unlimited uses for their music and even the ability to play them on (gasp!) non-Apple players. |

The only files that don?t get converted are protected ones: Audible.com tracks and tracks from the iTunes Store that still have copy-protection built in. If you bought the track after January 2009, though, odds are you have a high-quality iTunes Plus track (page 141) that?s delightfully free of such restrictions.? |

The last two sentences of the paragraph, which comes at the end of Chapter 3, direct one to "this book's 'Missing Cd' page at www.missingmanuals.com" if one needs "help sorting through email geekery like the difference between IMPA and POP." The Missing CD-ROM for this manual has nothing at all for Chapter 3 and nothing on this subject elsewhere. |
