Deluxe version in iTunes

Hello,

I have been downloading music from iTunes for a very long time, but there is one little thing that I never understood, and was hoping that someone could help me out with...
What is the difference between the «Deluxe Version» of a song and its original version? Because I have been buying either one without ever noting a difference in the songs, be it in terms of the length or the quality...

Thank you,

Mathieu B

I don't know what Deluxe version is, but if you are asking about itunes plus, you can type "itunes plus into the search bar in Apple 's support site and get this article that explains itunes plus:

The «Deluxe Version» has nothing to do with iTunes Plus, perhaps I badly explained myself...
What I meant is there are some songs on iTunes that have two versions of the same song, one the is normal, if you will, and the other has Deluxe Version in parenthesis. I am wondering what is the difference between those two versions...

Thank you for your response,

Oh boy... I feel pretty stupid, you're right, it was the actual album that was "deluxe version", not just the one song... And the difference is that there are 18 songs instead of 14.

Sorry, and thank you for your help!

It sounds like that is a note from the record label.

Can you give an example from the iTunes store?

I have heard of deluxe albums where you get more than the standard album, but not a deluxe version of just one song.

It was finally the ALBUM itself that was tagged as a deluxe version since it contained more songs...

Thank you everyone for your help,
