iTunes store quesiton
Ok, so I wanted to start upgrading my previously purchased iTunes songs to DRM free MP3's.
But here is my issue, my songs have been removed from the purchased folder within iTunes and currently reside on my external hard drive. I import them into iTunes and try to move them into the purchased playlist and no dice.
Anyone know what I can do to get iTunes to recognize my songs?

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is.... but you might have to burn the songs to a music CD and then re-rip them back to your PC. This is the only way I know of to get around DRM.

The good news is that you shouldn't need your library to upgrade. Just open iTunes store and, under the Quick Links, click on "Upgrade to iTunes Plus." I've re-titled some songs, and even deleted one or two after buying them (because I later bought the CD and imported from that); each thing I purchased that has an iTunes Plus version available is showing up anyway.

What happens when you go to the upgrade page at the iTune Store. Does it not reflect your purchases? I would think it would be based on your account history with iTunes, not what is on your purchased playlist.

I thought they were MP3's...either way not a big deal.
Where is the upgrade page in the iTunes store?

Re: iTunes store quesiton
i didn't want to start a new thread to ask this question and i also did a search but couldn't find an answer to my question:
how do i search for music that can only be found in the itunes store?
i am aware of the quicklinks for Itunes Originals and the Live from... series but I understand that there are other stuff out there - for example, Pearl Jam Live at Lollapalooza 2007 - that's exclusive to Itunes only.
so does anyone know how to do a search for stuff like that or is there a comprehensive list online that I could peruse?
any help would be appreciated, thank you very much

For reasons I still don't understand, last summer my iTunes library was completely emptied. All the songs and videos were still on my external hard drive, but I had to completely add everything all over again. I lost all my playlists, including the Purchased one. Now, my Purchased playlist only tracks things I've bought since the reboot.

You might also consider signing up for alerts of your favorite artists to see if they post any kind of exclusive in the future. I've done this, and so far most of my alerts have been for catalog titles being added, but I suspect some day it'll pay off.
Not what you wanted to hear, I'm sure, but it's the best I've got. Anyone else know of anything more useful?
