For one thing, it may be a privacy violation if not, it seems like a bad business move to set up a music service to use as a piracy fishery. We don’t know-and we’ve put in a question to Apple about it-but honestly, it doesn’t seem likely. What each status means in this post, courtesy Macworld editorial director Jason Snell.) iCloud Status will let you know which songs in your library have been matched, uploaded, or otherwise. ICloud Download and iCloud Status columns by going to View -> View Options. When you first sign up for iTunes Match, turn on the How can I tell which songs have been Matched? Uploaded? Downloaded? View the iCloud: Check off iCloud Download and iCloud Status to see how your tracks have been labeled by iTunes Match. Instead, the service will upload that track, as-is, to its server for playback.

It won’t automatically delete your current, low-quality file instead, to replace it you’ll need to delete your current file from your library and re-download. If a song of yours returns as Matched, this means that iTunes has a high-quality version available in its track catalog, and you won’t have to upload your current version. iTunes Match will provide this service for up to 25,000 tracks not originally purchased with your Apple ID if you have more than that, you’re currently unable to sign up for the service This benefits you in two ways: You don’t have to manually upload every song in your catalog, and-for songs that iTunes matches with its catalog-you can re-download high-quality versions of them for free.Īs such, if you have a poorly-encoded (or Digital Rights Management-encumbered) copy of a song you own or have authorization for-and that song exists in iTunes’s 20 million song catalog-you can re-download those tracks as 256-kbps DRM-free AAC files.
If iTunes can’t find a match, it will upload those unmatched tracks to its central server so that you can stream or download them to other devices associated with your Apple ID. The service works by scanning your library and matching as many tracks as it can with songs from iTunes’s 20 million song catalog.
