Jonathan,
Thanks for this further explanation and I must say I'm wowed by your perseverance at digitizing and properly tagging your vinyl collection. That's great you were able to get the songs matched by iTunes at the higher quality.

Hi Alan, the only content you have access to as an iTunes Match subscriber is content you already own, either through purchasing it from iTunes itself, or by going through the quite lengthy process of uploading your own music to it. It's called iTunes match because a series of algorithms try to match what you upload with content iTunes has in the store. When it finds a match, it replaces the copy you uploaded with its copy. Tagging is key here. For example, a few years ago, I digitised my vinyl collection. I tagged it correctly, that is to say I created tags for every file with the artist, the title of the song, and the album it came from. When I uploaded 25,000 songs to iTunes Match, which sadly is the maximum content you're allowed to upload that wasn't purchased from Apple, i was thrilled to note that a lot of the vinyl I uploaded was replaced by high bit-rate, crackle free copies from Apple's library. Absolutely fantastic. So I deleted my vinyl rips and downloaded the Apple versions. I get to keep them, even if at some time in the future I choose not to renew my iTunes Match subscription. It's quite the bargain.

You're entitled to get an iTunes Match version of any music you're deemed to own but you're not entitled to download a track you were eligible to listen to as a Match subscriber but never purchased or already had in your personal library.

It basically lets you treat the music you get from places other than iTunes as though it was iTunes music. It goes through your music collection, and when it encounters songs available in the iTunes store, it makes copies of those songs available to you. When it encounters songs not available in the iTunes store, it copies those songs to iCloud. If the copies of the songs in the iTunes store that you have are of lower quality than those in the store, you can delete your versions and replace them with the ones from the iTunes store. You can stream or download any of the music to your iPhone. And if you stop using the service, you still have all the music, including any tracks that you downloaded from the iTunes store.

I think of Match as being a type of streaming music service. My understanding is that music streaming services will let you play their content located in the cloud as long as you're paying their subscription fee. I didn't think these streaming services let you download anything to your device as you do when you purchase digital songs. Is my understanding correct? Thanks in advance.

Once iTunes Match expires, you'll need to sync with iTunes to get other music onto your phone. HTH, Anna On Apr 27, 2015, at 11:59 AM, Lizand Sammie <elizabethulr...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: Hi Anna! Thank you very much for your help. Now once I turned off the automatic renew for iTunes match it said that after my expiration date my music will no longer be in the cloud. Do I need to download everything on to my phone now before match expires?
