Hi, I’ve never tried it, but you would likely need to manipulate your library so that it was divided into portions that don’t exceed the iTunes Match limitations. You then would match that group of songs, downloading the upgraded versions. Once you have the upgraded version, you can change to

Hi, Is there any way to do this? The only way I can justify such an expensive yearly subscription is having them all upload and replaced by higher quality songs. > On Jan 9, 2015, at 10:54 AM, Tim Kilburn wrote: > > Hi, > > Not exactly. If those 400,000 songs are all non-purchased songs, then

Hi, Not exactly. If those 400,000 songs are all non-purchased songs, then only 25,000 can be uploaded and matched with your subscription. That size of library does not work in the current iTunes Match scenario. There are probably ways you could manipulate things so that you were able to get

In other words, if your entire music collection IE 400 000 songs are all matched in the iTunes store, you will only have access to 25000 per year? > On Jan 8, 2015, at 3:54 PM, Tim Kilburn wrote: > > Oops, I read over Kliph’s scenario again, and I misunderstood it originally. > In either case,

Hi Kliph, If I’m understanding your example correctly, then you’re correct. EG: 250,000 songs - Kliph’s total music library. 240,000 songs - Purchased from iTunes 10,000 - Ripped from personal music collection. Therefore, with an iTunes Match subscription, the 240,000 purchased songs are avail

Hi Cliff, unfortunately it doesn't quite work like this. All the material you've purchased from the iTunes Store isn't counted against the 25,000 song limit, however everything else is, including material that iTunes has matched without the need for you to upload your copy. 25,000 songs is just

So let me get this straight. I was told if your music in your iTunes library is already in the match data base, that it does not count against your 25 thousand count limit, only songs that match cannot find are counted against you? Do I have it correct? So for example, I have over 250 thousan

Okay, thanks, that makes sense and is about what I figured. I'm still not sure if Match is worth the price for me, especially when I could spend less and just expand my iCloud storage, then dump my music on that instead. > On Jan 8, 2015, at 12:18 AM, Tim Kilburn wrote: > > Hi, > > Matched are

Hi, Matched are considered different than Purchased to iTunes, so those Matched items you’ve downloaded to the local machine will remain yours to use and only Purchased media will be available from the Cloud if you discontinue. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada > On Jan 7, 2015, a

I don’t think you keep it in the cloud. My wife had an inactive subscription for a year, and when she activated it again, none of her music was there, or else we just don’t know how to access it. > On Jan 7, 2015, at 10:47 PM, Alex Hall wrote: > > Thanks. I'm guessing files it can't match will

Thanks. I'm guessing files it can't match will no longer be based in the cloud if you cancel, correct? But that you keep matched content is good to know, I just wonder if you only keep it locally or if it is still available in your cloud-based library (read, purchase history). > On Jan 7, 2015,

iTunes match will basically copy everything you have in your iTunes library that is available in the iTunes store. If you have tracks that are not available in the iTunes store, it will upload a copy to your iCloud library. Once you have Match, you can choose to download better versions of

Hi all, Quick question. If I got iTunes Match, it will upload all music I have that iTunes doesn't, and "match" music it does have, essentially considering the matched songs purchased. If I discontinue Match after the first year, would I keep the matched music? That is, after I stop using Match,
