Anyone know what this is?
The description says:
This is a special offer to upgrade your music library of previously purchased songs, albums, and music videos now available in iTunes Plus. You will be charged $.30 a song, 30% of the current album price, and $.60 a music video to upgrade. Just click Buy All and new versions of all your items below will be downloaded in iTunes Plus.--- would that only be if I lost my music for some reason?

Ah figured it out - all past downloads from iTunes were at 128Kbps. Now they're all at 256 (virtually indistinguishable from the original recording) so iTunes is giving you a 'cheap' option to upgrade your music quality.
- I doubt 256 is "virtually indistinguishable from the original recording"juhls
- that's what the iTunes page said :) sort of mocking it - my ears aren't that acutemegE

not really worth it. It's a higher quality audio file. most listeners would be hard pressed to tell the different.
- it's a MUCH higher quality audio file, and the difference is easily distinguishablemonospaced
- 128 is horrible!acrossthesea

Here's it is:
"All music is 256 kbps, DRM free, AAC"

It depends what you're using your music for and on what devices.
I personally find it better to go for the DRM free option and I can notice the quality difference (between 128 and 256) in select songs. DRM free means you can take a song to any other device you wish.- ...not just Apple devices.juhls

"...not just Apple devices"
Hahaha juhls. Who told you that DRM tracks you buy through iTunes can only be played on Macs? That's just crazy talk.
DRM just means that it's rights managed and that you are limited to how many copies you can make of it. But that didn't stop anyone.
- By "device", I meant the iPod. Didn't think I had to explain that. And if you buy a song from the iTunes store and it's not
juhls - DRM-free, you usually can't play it on other devices unless you strip the DRM off by burning to CD and then re-ripping.juhls

- Almost every music player can play AAC files. Every single computer can play them. And almost every CD player now supports AAC and MP3monospaced
- supports AAC. If you think it's just iPods, you're sorely mistaken.monospaced
- It doesn't matter; iTunes DRMed files WILL NOT play in anything but iT/iP without jumping through some kind of hoop.ismith

See the Restrictions section. The loopholes are endless.
