I suppose I need to check every few weeks. I was real excited, but found none of my purchases can be upgraded.

I was only able to upgrade a handful of the tunes in my library, but I'm going to pay particular attention to EMI's offerings when I'm shopping iTunes in the future, and I'll hope other distributors follow suit.

Very cool. I had some custom sorting items on my tracks, and these were all retained. Very, very cool.

That's currently the only music publisher that has an agreement with Apple. Could be that none of your music is EMI. Remember, EMI is the smallest of the big three music publishers. I was very surprised whenm of the 500+ songs I've purchased from the iTunes store over the years, iTunes Plus only found 27 to update. iTunes Plus will only “see” EMI-published songs that you purchased from the iTunes store.
