Thank you for the complete clear up of what iTunes Match is! It seems like a good service but the quality of the songs has killed it for me, my entire music library is 320Kb/s and iTunes Match is only 256Kb/s - I believe. Another reason why I'm not subscribing is Spotify. Spotify lets me listen to any song I want, without even purchasing it, at 320Kb/s on my Mac, PC, and iPhone. You don't even need to use your mobile data because you're allowed to take as much music as you want offline anyway!

Thank you so much for the excellent video. I was having a hard time understanding what the service actually offered and it's capabilities etc. One question though - can you listen/stream to music on the iPhone/iPad without having to download as long as it's in iCloud?

This video answered almost all my questions, thanks! One question remaining is about the songs you have to upload. You said that it uploads them to the cloud - does that count against those 5GB free iCloud storage? Or what? Also, what exactly is it that iTunes stores in iCloud that counts towards those 5GB? Lastly; The bitrate is 256kb from the cloud, what if you have a song that is higher bitrate than that? Does it upload it even if it finds a match? Or do you have to downgrade your bitrate?

I know you made this comment awhile ago, so sorry if this is irrelevant, but I'm thinking iTunes Match would work best if you had copies of all your music on one computer, and then everything else would stream the library (iPhone, iPad, etc). That way you have the physical files somewhere that doesn't require an internet connection. Another solution could just be to store your music as a backup on an external hard drive, and then just have everything on the cloud.

Low bitrate will cause it to not be matched. You can try creating an AAC out of it and it should then upload to the cloud.

I believe you've got about 90 days after your subscription is over to actually renew it again. Out of those 90 days, you can actually only redownload your library on the first 30 (again, if I'm not mistaken). During those other 60 days, the library will remain on the cloud, but you can't access it unless you renew your subscription. After that total of 90 days, it's gone forever. But again, I'm not entirely sure of all this information.

Hello- I was wondering if you could use iTunes Match with the Apple TV to download all of your DVD's have them matched and on the cloud, and then play on your TV, so you have a digital media library, rather than like 200 DVD's lying around. I can't seem to find this information online anywhere.

Because i back up my phone to the cloud, I have about 21gb of music on my device right now. I have more music on my device than I have in my library on my external drive. So are you saying I should create a new empty library in iTunes then do iTunes Match? Will it do the matching automatically or will I have to do it manually?

Does iTunes Match stream or download songs? On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs.

When you have the same song multiple times in your iTunes library but those songs are not identical does iTunes Match read it as a duplicate. For example I might have 10 different live performances of the same song by the same band but no two of them are exactly the same. Does iTunes Match recognize them as individual songs or is considered duplicates.
