Ugh, 150+ songs to upgrade, and error after error after error. They won't continue to download while the error dialog is present, either. I don't have time to babysit iTunes all day!
That's exactly what's happened to me. I wonder if some of the songs I've bought are not available anymore, and so cause the whole thing to fail.When I try to upgrade my library - 10 albums and 12 songs, I get the message:
the item you tried to buy is no longer available
etc
The message doesnt specify "which" item - and anyway the list was generated by iTunes so one would think would only include available items....
Anyway - this prevents any upgrading!![]()
Anyone else experienced this? If so, is there a fix?

Rubbish. Pretty much any studio you walk into these days uses digital recording. The mastering process to convert anything recorded into 44.1KHz 16-Bit CD-Audio is far less lossy than creating a vinyl master and pressing vinyl, most of which is low quality these days anyway. Most people who prefer vinyl just like the sound vinyl has. It is far from accurate, and is usually preferred by people who just don't trust CDs, for no apparent reason.Since digital is so lossy anyway and I buy most of my music on vinyl, a small increase in audio quality is well appreciated. What I'd really like to see at the very least is to have lossless audio availabe on itunes and even better, i'd like to see a way to rip Super-Audio cd's and Dvd-Audio into itunes and for them to have available lossless SACD/DVD-A files available even if a whole album takes up 4 gigs.

Apparently not - someone on an Apple discussion board went through all their listed songseek: ) confirming that they ARE available on iTunes. The latest theory is that some pdf booklets or special "album only" tracks are causing the problem.... we will see..
Is there a solution to this, I'd quite like to upgrade all my tracks but always get the 'The item you tried to buy is no longer available' message. I don't think this was very well tested before it was rolled out, surely when testing they would have checked on 'album only' tracks and pdf booklets as they are pretty standard in the iTunes store world.
