Found how to get uploaded songs to matched

i talked to a apple representative over email and he told me for the songs to match they have to be .m4a format not mp3 so im converting all my .mp3 songs to .m4a

I've gotten matches (actually a LOT of matches) on songs that have NO metadata at all. I've done this purposely to specifically test the service. So, imo, that last reply you received is a bunch of hogwash.
What I've read is that they are using technology from Gracenote to do a waveform analysis of each song, then matching it of they find a match in their database. If they are actually using metadata, it's not precepitble to me.
As to your original concern about unmatched songs, I don't think there is a fix yet. I've found that masterings are definitely a factor, so keep that in mind if you have an old CD that you ripped but the iTunes database only has a new remaster of the same album, then this could definitely cause matching problems. It's just a shame that the Apple rep doesn't seem to know this.

How to Get In & Out of Match, Get your Downloads and Run

How to Get In & Out of Match, Get your Downloads and Run
So you have read the marketing hype, and are thinking what you really want is to pay for the service to upgrade your low quality bitrate files to a bit better 256KBPS rate easily, as don’t fancy rebuying/ reimporting or other method
This guide should show you the fastest route to achieve you upgrades
It assumes you’re working from your main music library, and know something about IT, and have <25k of music files
Backup your music files
If you know how to do this, its simple right – so once done then move to step 2, if not read below so you don’t blame me for a loss
Transfer Hardware
your choice the transfer hardware, suggest offline harddrive via USB3.0 (blue USB connector/eSata/ 1494b/1GB NIC/etcetera but your call
If you use USB2.0/ 100MB NIC/1394a or other lower transfer method, accept the time hit
Don’t use Time Backup/local disk backup software unless you have RAID 5 setup or better (and if wondering what that is, you almost certainly don’t then)
Don’t use internet backup service unless you live next door to the hosting company, with stunning internet connection to envy 99.9% of the human race, remember this is the fast method folks)
Transfer Software
I am assuming you know how to do a copy n paste/ robocoby/xcopy/drag n drop or whatever method turns you on via finder/explorer/cmd window ect
Caveat #01: If not sure how to do above, then stop now as you are not IT literate ready for this
Find your music files and back them up
Now keep the computer running, preferably with nothing else running from this point for ease of use bar an active internet connection, and power saving switched off
If you know where the files are great, backup the files, but some don’t so for them as below
Caveat #02: if you don’t know how to find them your most likely on default settings, or sitting with a legacy from a past upgraded machine - below should help but you might want to stop now if you have never been curious about the location before
Within iTunes , go to [Edit/Preferences/Advanced] and note down the location shown for Itunes Media Location
In the same location of preferences, hit [Keep iTunes Media Folder organised] and let the application do its stuff. You will end up with the location in 1ciii a ready to copy location which for simplicity of topic, copy the whole folder and its subfolders. You may end up with some extra copies of music files (an iTunes safety mechanism, but it won’t show in the folder location, and we can ignore later on)
Enable Match (after paying for the service)
Run Match
Accept that the Apple iTunes process is not perfect, may crash/stop/pause and reboots will be needed, and we can move on so to speak. Key here is you cannot do an unattended script or assume no end user interaction needed L
Turn on iTunes Match, notice the new ITunes Match on the left hand sidebar, click it, then hit the Start button – if it works and you eventually get to STEP 3 perfect.
If it fails before getting to STEP 3, reboot and restart
If this still fails to get to STEP 3, then create a new iTunes database (browse forums on how to do), read your media files from the location in 1civ
Stop MATCH (the upload process only, not the service)
Once STEP 3 starts, CLICK STOP - ASAP, as all this does it upload data, and you don’t want to do this, just get your upgraded files (remember the title of this entry your reading!)
This also avoids future issues with Album art lost
Delete Matched low bitrate files
Create a NEW SMART playlist, with two criteria
Show all files with bitrate is less then 256
Show all files where iCloud status is MATCHED
In the new playlist, click it and it shows the files we want to blow away.
Click Edit / Select All then
Click ctrl in windows/apple (cmd) logo in mac, and press delete button, ensuring you do NOT tick the delete from iCloud Option. Now want a few mins for it do do its stuff.
Download Upgraded BitRate Files
In the same location as 5, reselect all, and right click, and select the option to download all, and off it goes
On the lefthand sidebar in iTunes, click Downloads, and you will then see in the middle bottom screen an option for simultaneous downloads (select it)
Your done Just let the app now do its stuff. I would ignore the message saying you can get on with other things, and use anther machine, preferably not using the same internet connection.
Optional Steps:
Click randomly from the Itunes/Matched/256KBPS listed files, and play them. Not all the files, one every 30 or so, and just the start, then last few seconds to check not dead or corrupt files.
Update your Step 1 backup with the new files, which is going to take up more space, guess at 40%.
Kill your iTunes Match account (both the recurring automatic subscription, and the account if not continuing to use the store part of iTunes)

I update my IPhone4 to IOS6 from IOS4.3.3. My all songs are missing in the Iphone4. How to get those songs into my Iphone from ITunes. Even after sync also not coming to IPhone.

I update my IPhone4 to IOS6 from IOS4.3.3. My all songs are missing in the Iphone4. How to get those songs into my Iphone from ITunes. Even after sync also not coming to IPhone.

The iphone is not storage/backup device.
The sync is one way - computer to iphone.
The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

HELP!! How to get iTunes songs into Rezzila

Im trying to get a song from iTunes into Rezilla. I've tried looking for a program that will convert it into SND, but without money, i'm outta luck. So i've resorted to getting the song out of my iTunes library by using HEXADECIMALs! Since I've never used hexadecimals, I have no past skill or even how to use it. I was wondering if it was even possible and or if it is even possible. But if it is Please email me or leave a comment on how to get this song into REZZILA.
Thanks,
Rob

Rezilla, unless there's another program by the same name, is an editor for the resource and data forks of a file, and as such can have no use with an iTunes track (none I know of, anyway). It certainly cannot convert an audio track to some other audio format. Nor can you convert a track from one format to another by going into the track file with a hex editor; it just not possible.
I'm not aware of a free converter than can output SND files unless ffmpeg can.

TS4124 how to chk which songs is matched in itune match

how to chk which songs is matched in itune match

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Enable iCloud status from the iTunes view options on your computer.

Will this idea fix uploaded songs to matched status?

Hello,
According to Apple's own documentation about how different song formats are matched to the iCloud, is it true that if you:
Encode all songs that remain in "uploaded" status to either the: 1. WAV 2. ALAC 3. AIFF formats that you will then be able to refresh iTunes Match and get those songs into the more desired "matched" status? I haven't tried to do this yet and thought I'd ask you all to see if someone had success doing so.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the documentation I read stated that all songs uploaded in AAC or MP3 formats can either be matched or uploaded but songs sent to iTunes Match in one of the 3 formats I noted above will most likely be matched without trouble???
Thanks for the feedback....

You've misread the documentation. Simply reimporting a track as a lossless file will not ensure the song is matched instead of being uploaded. If the song was uploaded as an AAC or MP3 chances are it will also be uploaded as a lossless file. Having said that there is no reason not to try. I wouldn't count on a different result, though.

Hard Drive Dead. How do I upload songs from Ipod to new hard drive?

The hard drive on my computer crashed, and I had to buy a new one. Unfortunately, I did not have the old drive backed up and lost all my data, including my Itunes library - $90 or so in purchased ITune songs plus a tonn of songs from my CD collection. So, I now have my stagnant Ipod and am unable to expand its library without starting from scratch.
Is there a way to upload my entire library from my 30G Ipod to my new computer, running ITunes 7.02 (or the latest software edition I just downloaded)?
HELP!!!

Well I guess the lesson learned is BACK UP! Don't let it happen to you again. To answer your questions...

When I purchased a music app from itune store. This got downloaded in Itune maedia/Mobile applications.How to get the songs in that app to my itune library or on to IPAD?

I or tranfer to my librarypurchased from Itune store a Music app. It is downloaded into intune media/mobile applications. How to get the full album msic/songs into my itunes library or on tomy IPAD? It doesnot open out. Can anybody suggest a way?

If you have a music downloader app (depends on which you have), plug your iDevice into iTunes, go to your device (on itunes), go to your apps, scroll down, and select the app thats holding your music, click on "Save As" (should be located bottom right corner), save the music to your specific folder. Once done, follow through this: Adding music and other content to iTunes and you should have your music on your iDevice music app.
Hope this helps.

How to get uploaded file details in custom page

Hi,
I need to navigate to custom page after multiple file upload and display details of file uploaded in the custom page.
Is there any variable which indicates the files uploaded that can be used in my custom page?
Thanks in advance,
dhijit

Hi,
According to your description, you want to get uploaded file details after uploading the files in a custom page.
I suggest you create an event receiver in the custom page so that you can get file details when the files are added to the document library.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
       public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
           base.ItemAdded(properties);
           string fileURL = properties.ListItem.Web.Url + "/" + properties.ListItem.File.Url;

How to get my song back?

Hi there,
I have just subscribed I match and it looks like I have now a problem.
I had 50 songs downloaded on my iphone and ipad. Somehow most of my songs disappeared from my iphone and I was 13 left, eventhough on my ipad I still had my total list.
I subscribed Imatch from my Iphone, thinking that I was going to get them back from Ipad. What happened was the contrary, my ipad was update with same 13 songs. I am so upset, if I did a stupid mistake.
Is there way to get my songs back on my itunes account?
Best regards

iTunes Match does not scan the music library on an iOS device. The service only scans an iTunes library. For music to be available in the cloud it must first be in the iTunes library. If you had music on your iPhone and/or iPad that was not in the iTunes library, when you enabled iTunes Match, that music is gone. It is your responsiblity to backup your personal data, including music.

How to get missing songs from old phone

Hello all,
I recently broke my iphone and I just received a new one in the mail the other day. I created a backup in itunes and used that backup to restore my new phone. However, when my new phone was finished restoring I was missing about 1000 songs. Without starting over what is the best way to get the missing music from my old phone to the new one? Can I load itunes on another computer and then sync my music from my old phone and then just copy the library to itunes on my main computer? Thanks for any help.

Hi HelpPleaseMan,
>>How to get a photo from windows phone 8 programmatically and how to save that photo into my phone.
In Windows Phone 8 we can use the
PhotoChooserTask to enable users to select an existing photo from the phone.
For more information, please try to refer to:
#How to use the photo chooser task for Windows Phone 8:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh394019(v=vs.105).aspx .
Besides, we can also use the
CameraCaptureTask to enable users to take a photo from your application using the built-in Camera application. If the user completes the task, an event is raised and the event handler receives a photo in the result. On Windows Phone 8, if the user accepts
a photo taken with the camera capture task, the photo is automatically saved to the phone’s camera roll.

How to get old songs+videos back on iTunes after it was redownloaded?

My computer was just recently broken so all of the memory on the computer was lost so we had to restart it. So now I need to know how to get back all my old songs and videos back on iTunes.

if you purchased them from iTunes, the terms of service indicate that you can only download the files once, and urges you to make a backup of your music.. if you don't have a backup, you will either have to re-purchase them, or rip them from CDs, etc
