Hi Peta, > There was a little problem and I was required to feed in a new ID and a new > Password.
You should not have been asked to create a new Apple ID & new Password? When you signed up for "iTunes Match" you would have used your Apple ID & Password, this is the ID & password you would use to sign in. ITunes Match has to upload to the iCloud servers so the music tracks can be streamed to all your devices, so it will take quite some time to do so. One handy tip for troubleshooting iTunes Match is to make use of the iCloud Status column in iTunes. This is OFF by default, but you can turn it ON by selecting View, View Options and enabling it from there. This will provide you with a better indication as to the status of the tracks that you're trying to upload to iTunes Match, and you can in fact sort on the column in order to group tracks by status. Ideally, everything should be Purchased, Matched or Uploaded, but it sounds like you might see a few that show Error or Ineligible. Let me know what that window indicates please.
