Hi Cher, You probably would want to replace them. It's just that this doesn't happen automatically. Occasionally only part of an album gets matched. In that case, I usually don't download the matched tracks, as listening can then be jarring as the quality bounces between the high-quality matches and the originals. And in one case, the match was incorrect; the song iTunes downloaded to replace my track was a completely different song. This has only happened once among the hundreds or more tracks I've matched, but it did make me leery of having my whole collection replaced automatically.
