No, even Groove can't fully play iTunes Match. It's more complicated: iTunes Match has _two_ ways how you can handle music, you can either _download_ it to the device (from iTunes Match) or you can _play_ it straight away, then it will essentially be streamed through a buffer but not stored on the device. The former happens if you hit the cloud-download icon, the latter if you just play. If a track was downloaded, Apps can play it, but they can't access tracks in iTunes Match itself, even if you have just played them. It's one of these cases where Apple does really complicated things users will INHO rarely understand, especially since the logic is pretty much hidden in the UI. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100515 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
