iTunes Store: How Complete My Album works with iTunes Plus

How does Complete My Album work for iTunes Plus?

Complete My Album is offered with many iTunes Plus albums. Note that if you've purchased an AAC Protected single at 128 kbps and want the iTunes Plus version of the album, you must first upgrade your iTunes library to iTunes Plus before using Complete My Album.

This explains the Complete My Album Rules with iTunes Plus music:

AAC Protected No CMA to AAC Protected album (deliver remaining AAC Protected tracks)
AAC Protected Yes Must upgrade your iTunes library to Plus first, then see Plus rules below
Mixed No No CMA offer
Mixed Yes Must upgrade your iTunes library to Plus first, then see Plus rules below
Plus No No CMA offer
Plus Yes CMA to Plus album (deliver remaining Plus tracks)

If an AAC Protected album that contains a music video is eligible for upgrade to iTunes Plus, the audio tracks will be upgraded to iTunes Plus, but if the music video is not available in iTunes Plus, the music video will be omitted from the iTunes Plus album, as well as the Complete My Album offer. In other words, the AAC Protected album with music video may be upgraded to an iTunes Plus album without music video.

Note: The Complete My Album expiration date is based on the date the track was purchased, not when it was upgraded.
