Apple rolled out "iTunes Plus" today, their DRM-free, higher-quality audio format. Any songs you already own that are now available in the new format can be "upgraded" for 30 cents a pop. I think this varies if you're upgrading an entire album -- my collection came to $11.70 for 44 songs, including two full albums and a handful of miscellaneous tracks. I decided to give it a shot, but I couldn't get the purchase to go through. I guess a lot of other people are trying, too. Maybe I'll try again in a day or two. Meanwhile, I'm trying to decide if I want to preorder the new Paul McCartney and Ryan Adams albums.

There's a good article on iTunes Plus over at Ars Technica.
