I'll upgrade eventually. In the last few hours, two music videos became available. I want all my music.
Got a tip for us?

I'm sick of paying extra for music I already own. I will upgrade only if I really need it or if I becomes free.
Well I might just have to bite the bullet and upgrade my songs as stealing them all is too much of a pain and quality is iffy.
For those who can't tell the difference between 128kbs and 256kbs I both pity you and envy you, there is a huge difference.
Also I might have to switch from my iPhone to a Palm Pre or something as I have an unlocked iPhone on Unicel (which is being bought out by Verizon) and their is no other GSM carrier around here. I mean I could get a phone and an iPod touch but I rather have it all in one device, so I would need DRM free music.
Best Buy has 10% off iTunes cards this week btw
, so I figure I will pick some up to upgrade my library.

, so I figure I will pick some up to upgrade my library.I'v already started buying most of my songs from Amazon where I get DRM free MP3 to begin with. Yah I know, AAC is superior, blah, blah.
And yes, I'm tired of paying for songs I've already bought. I'll probably give in and upgrade to plus, but for me, it's a non-trivial amount $$'s for the large number of AAC/DRM songs I've already bought from iTunes.
Buying from Amazon now that (almost) all songs from iTunes are DRM free and 256kbs does not really matter anymore just before the switch happened. I am glad I only purchased iTunes plus songs for the last year, otherwise the upgrade would really suck.
Just paid $25 to upgrade about half my library, am I pissed about it? Yes. Did it need to get done? Yes.
Not until they offer a way to upgrade parts of the library, and not just all of it. There's stuff it wants me to pay to upgrade that I don't even have in my library any more.
I guess there will be an option as soon as enough people have upgraded their complete library and Apple already made enough $$$ from them.
