It's not perfect, and you may run into issues with live or rare tracks matching to studio versions - for most users, however, you should be able to use the service without any problems.Īny songs that don't match to the iTunes catalog will be uploaded to iCloud in their original form, save for tracks that are too low-quality (under 92kbps), too long (over two hours), too big (over 200MB), or you aren't authorized to play (say, a song from another user's iTunes account that you don't have the username and password to unlock). Apple uses metadata matching and audio fingerprinting to match your songs to iTunes Store versions. To save space and upload time, any track in your library that's also available in the iTunes Music Store catalog will "match" to the catalog version this means that when you play that track on your iPhone or another Mac, you'll get the iTunes Music Store version (a DRM-free, 256kbps-quality AAC file, for those wondering), rather than your original file. When you subscribe to Apple Music or the standalone iTunes Match service, Apple scans your iTunes music library to check and see which tracks you own are also listed in the iTunes Store. What's the deal with matching, storing, and the like? Do I still need iTunes Match if I have Apple Music?.Apple Music vs iTunes Match: What's the difference?.If you have an Apple Music account, you can take advantage of iCloud Music Library and subscription music if you have a stand-alone iTunes Match subscription, you only have access to your iCloud Music Library. iCloud Music Library lets you upload or "match" your personal music library with the DRM-free iTunes Store catalog. Yup, both the Apple Music subscription service and the stand-alone iTunes Match option. Does it work with Apple Music and iTunes Match? You can store up to 100,000 songs with an Apple Music or iTunes Match subscription it doesn't count toward your iCloud storage costs. Wait, stored? Does it count toward my iCloud storage cost? It's Apple's term for all the music you've stored in iCloud.
