Can I use iTunes Match without a PC/Mac?
I want to move all my iTunes library to iCloud with a view to moving to an iOS only existance I currently own a MacBook running iTunes 11 and can easily susbscribe to iTunes match and get all my music into iCloud. At that point I'm unclear if I still need to be running iTunes on a PC/Mac or if I'll be okay just managing my music in iCloud. Sure, I won't be able to rip CD's anymore, but I don't care too much about that.
I'm also wondering if i'd be better with a subscription service such as Spotify rather than iTunes Match.
Anyone who can help?
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.

I can't use iTunes Match without credit card???
Hi!
I have no credit card.Can I use iTunes Match without credit card?From this Apple KB article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4914>.
You may use store credit to pay for your iTunes Match subscription however a valid payment method must still be on file at the time of sign up.
So, yes, or a PayPal account. -
Can I use iTunes Match without a computer? I only have an iphone at the moment with stored music. My computer was stolen.
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

I don't have a credit card but have more than enough to purchase it with itunes credit but when i try to sign up it asks me for a credit card or to redeem a gift card. How do I just use the credit I have?
No. You may only use what they provide.

Can I use iTunes Match to transfer music from an iPhone4 to a new iPhone5s? I'm traveling without my laptop!
- Music was purchased outside of iTunes store
- On a vacation
- iPhone 4 has all my music
- No access to iTunes
- Want to buy a new iPhone 5s on vacation but this is holding me backHonestly, I've never used iTunes Match.
Keep in mind that iTunes Match is only for music, any other media content would not be affected.
Also, pictures synced to the device from a computer will not be moved over unless the new device is restored from a backup on that computer.
Personaly, unless the current iPhone was damaged or otherwise acting as if on it's last leg, I'd wait. There may be better options in 3 months. -

You need Mac App Store to download OS X, and it's only in Macs, so you have to download 10.8 in the MacBook -

Can i use iTunes Match with just an Ipad or Iphone? I no longer have a computer

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. -
I have a family Apple ID associated with my iMac and iPad for iTunes and Apps and then two new iPhone 5s each which use a personal Apple ID for email and the family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps. Can I use iTunes Match on the iPhones given there are two Apple IDs "loaded" on the iPhone?

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.

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. -
