In simple terms, it means their tracks are now protection free .... so you can move them around, play them on devices other than an iPod and generally do what you will with them.
But any tracks you've already bought are still protected. You need to pay 20p per track to "upgrade" (lol) them .... ie. get an alternate version that isn't protected. (Oh ... and as you may have gathered from the thread so far, you have to do your entire library ..... you can't just upgrade selected tracks, you have to do them all .... which is a nonsense and just an excuse to fleece the consumer as far as I can see)
Doesn't affect stuff you've ripped yourself or aquired elsewhere, just stuff bought from the iTunes store.
