iTunes Redownload Music I have purchased an album in iTunes, but it still shows the price in the store. Does this mean that the next time I want to redownload the music I'll need to pay for it again?

I have experienced purchased apps with iTunes, and I didn't need to repurchase the items. But for the music album, I'm not sure about the rules of purchase.
A while back (maybe two years ago), I ran into the same situation.  I had to e-mail apple support before I could re-download it.  They warned me, saying that I should make backups, and that next time I would have to purchase the music again.  As it turns out, I actually did lose the music a second time (because I was an idiot), and sure enough they wouldn't let me re-download it.

Perhaps their policy has changed now that cloud computing was so prevalent, but it may be worth a try e-mailing them.
