What is iTunes plus?

I've noticed that some albums appear twice on iTunes, they have the same songs and they are the same price. The only difference I can see is a slightly difference shade of album cover.

So what's the difference?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

DRM?

Sometimes the plus is the same price as the non-plus, hence the confusion.

DRM and quality:

iTunes Plus refers to songs and music videos available in our highest-quality 256 kbps AAC encoding (twice the current bit rate of 128 kbps), and without digital rights management (DRM). There are no burn limits and iTunes Plus music will play on all iPods, Mac or Windows computers, Apple TVs, and many other digital music players.

That’s from
