Not really, no. I suppose in theory, but there is no way to manage the library, or retrieve the match contents for back up or other purposes.

  • ITunes Match with an iOS device question

    I just finished setting up iTunes Match on my iMac. I have an iPhone (16GB) that I keep a few hundred songs on. What happens if/when I enable iTunes Match on the phone? Do I lose what is currently on the phone? Does iTunes start downloading all 3000 songs I have in iCloud (which will not fit)? Or does everything stay the way it is, but I have the option of downloading any/all songs from iCloud to my iPhone?

    After thinking this over. Let me reword my post.
    When you turn on iTunes Match on your iPhone, what happens? The bottom line for me is I have much more music in iTunes than I can fit on my iPhone. I keep a few hundred songs on my phone and thats the way I want to keep it. If I turn on iTunes Match on my iPhone I get a warning "iTunes Match will replace the music library on this device" It doesn't say what it will replace it with. Will it try to add all 3,000 songs from iTunes? Will it just replace the songs currently on my iPhone with the iTunes Match versions?

  • Can I use iTunes Match on my Sonos with my iPhone and iPad?

    Can I use iTunes Match on my Sonos with my iPhone and iPad?

    I have Sonos. No, it won't use iTunes match. It will allow you to stream your itunes media, but only the files you have on a hard drive on your network.
    ETA: It does let you play other internet services such as Spotify though.

    iTunes match will only work from a computer in terms of uploading new content. You should be able to copy iTunes purchases back via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). For content from other sources there are some third-party programs listed half-way down this page which might help you get your content back from your phone : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Can I use iTunes Match on an ATV without a TV attached?

    I've got an Apple TV2 that I use for music-only playback, attached to my hifi (using Toslink output, with nothing connected to the HDMI output). It works well with airplay and home sharing, but I'd like to use iTunes Match (airplay from an ios device seems susceptible to glitches, and the Mac with the iTunes library on it is normally suspended if I'm not working).
    However, I can't see a way to control playback from iTunes Match without a screen attached. The Apple Remote app lets me play music using home sharing, but you can't really access the menu portion without a tv attached to the ATV2 to see what's happening.

    Hi,
    i'm just following this thread and have the same problem as the first poster.
    I would love to go to my IPAD with ICloud match enabled and listen to music, but on a proper AV-Receiver system without having a cable attached to the IPAD  and WITHOUT turning the TV on and WITHOUT running my laptop all the time.
    If i understood this correctly, there are 2 options:
    1.) buy the Airport Express and connect it the to the AV-Receiver and use Airplay.
    2.) buy the new Apple TV 2 and enable/sync it with ITunes Match.
    As far as i understood the main difference is, that on option 1 with Airport Express, the music is still downloaded to my IPAD (16 GB) and then using Airplay to stream it via the Airport Express to my AV-receiver. .  So i have to cleanup space after listening to music, otherwise i might run out of space some day....
    Also there is another drawback of this method, the battery consumption, because the IPAD streams all the time while listening to music.
    Using Itunes Match on Apple TV 2 doesn't download the songs to the ATV 2 , but streams it, because it has no HD capacities..The IPAD is working as a Remote using the latest "Apple Remote App".
    This would not consume any battery on the IPAD, since the music process is running on the ATV 2.
    As far as i can see, it is possible with the latest firmware of ATV2 and latest IOS enabled.
    However, i din't manage to find a statement of how the remote App looks like. All the youtube videos i found show the IPAD/Iphone,/IPOD actually remote controlling the ATV2 software on the TV screen. 
    Open the Remote app on your device (in this case iPhone). Select the Apple TV you want to use iTunes Match with. You'll see a number of icons in the bottom of the screen. The music related ones (Playlists, Genres, Artists, Albums etc) show your iTunes Match library. If you start playing one of these, it will be streamed from iTunes to your Apple TV. No need for a computer with iTunes to be on.
    When i open the Remote App on my IPAD i only get a selection of "enable home sharing" or "add media library". I can't find the Apple TV icon or any icons in the bottom of the screen. Only these 2.
    I guess, this is just because i don't have an ATV 2 yet.
    Does the Remote App show a screen like my music library on my IPAD ? With all the nice album art etc. ?
    If not, i would rather go with option 1 with all the drawbacks of space, battery, etc...
    Please reply, if any of you has made any experience with it.
    Thanks for beeing patient, but i need to know which streaming device i should by.

    Without a computer you will not be able to do any managing of the music in the cloud. There is no way to edit any metadata on an iOS device.
    Also, iTunes Match is not a backup service and should not be relied up as such. With no computer you will not have any backups of your music.

  • HT4914 Can I use iTunes match if I am not sure whether there are any pirated songs in my library

    Can I use iTunes match if I am not sure whether there are any pirated songs in my library

    iTunes match should work for that. I am assuming your friend gave you some music from a flash drive, and yor not sure if he/sh pirided it or not, and this is understandible. this screen shot should help. I also sugest looking into google play, which is not as convienet as far as combining with iTunes, but is free I bleive.

    Hello, can i share itunes match with the other members of my family?

    No, sharing match is not included in the family share. The only way is to use the same Apple id on all devices but this may present problems if your family members have their own Apple id.

  • HT4913 i am trying to get my computer and my wifes computer on my itunes match.  i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please

    i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please explain.  is this going to screw my wifes account up? 

    If you both have seperate iTunes Store accounts then basically, yes, it is going "screw up" your wife's account.
    iTunes Match is designed as a single-user service which is associated with one and only one iTunes Store account ID. If you have subscribed on your account and want to activate the service on another computer that is already signed in with an account the present account must be signed out and then iTunes signed into your account. This means the other computer will have complete access to your account and will only be able to make purchases on your account. iTM is not designed to be signed in and out at will. If she has apps purchased with her iTunes Store account they will not be able to be updated.

    So, yes, or a PayPal account.
