Sieghard, For me, i do exactly what you do, I have my entire iTunes library stored on a NAS, and I ripped all my music at high bit rates, I cannot seem to think of a good reason to use iTunes Match. Simply it takes a few minutes to move music back onto the phone and my audio quality is higher

Of course if you have anything that you ripped into the Apple lossless format will be streamed/downloaded at 256. Of course have multiple backups of your local files. Otherwise, I am coming up on my first year with the service and I have no complaints. If I did you can bet I would have killed

Hi, Yes I love it myself. I don't think you are going to have a problem with deleting local files if they have already have been matched and are in the cloud. I have the same music on my phone as I do on my mac. HTH. Matthew On Oct 18, 2012, at 7:46 PM, ShamelessFanGirl wrote: Good

If I were in your position, I don't think I would have subscribed to iTunes match. I chose to use it because I can't put all my music on my iPhone and still have room for the many apps and podcasts that are stored there. It is just an opinion, but the only advantage I think you would gain at

I would concur with that as well. I do not sync all my music to my phone and for sure that is do to a lack of sufficient space. :) The only other advantage is if you had material that was 128Kb and if there was a match available from iTunes Match you could swap the 128Kb for 256. So, if you

Another negative: I know how to tag things properly and for Greatest Hits compilations (I'll use R.E.M.'s last one as an example) it matches only the song. By this I mean, in certain cases, it'll download the original album version of a song that came out in say... the 80's... and not the

Hi, while I like the idea of iTunes Match, it's not for me. However if others use it, friends, family, etc, I support them. My reasons for not using it is because I get the same functionality from AudioGalaxy. Yes, I probably avoid the 256 encoding it offers, but that's not important to me.

Yes, you can delete all the tracks that have been matched, and iTunes will stream them from the cloud. You can actually set up a smart playlist that shows you all matched songs so you can then select all and delete. Jonathan -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com
