iTunes Plus offers DRM-free music tracks featuring high quality 256 kbps AAC encoding for audio quality virtually indistinguishable from the original recordings—for just $1.29 per song. iTunes customers can easily upgrade their library of previously purchased content to iTunes Plus tracks for just 30 cents a song and $3.00 for most albums.
