How can i report a corrupted itunes match song?

Several of the songs in my iTunes library matched successfully, but the tracks from iTunes Match are corrupted. So, they're fine on my iMac (ripped from my CD), but messed up on my mobile devices (downloaded from iCloud). I don't see a specific category in the Apple Feedback pages for iTunes or iCloud to report a botched song in their database. Anyone know the correct procedure to report this so Apple's team can replace their master copy with a fresh one?

Here's a similar thread:

I did report this issue, but judging from the many posts on this, Apple hasn't paid any attention. Busy folks these days, I guess! For the most part, iTunes Match works very well. It's not a big deal to have a few tracks botched as long as you retain your original on your main system. It IS a big deal for people who are trying to upgrade their old original song files by trashing their main libraries and restoring from iTunes Match, because then you can't fall back to your old version when Apple's song file turns out corrupted! I posted a suggestion about that on the other link.
The more users bug Apple to setup a quick way to report specifically corrupted files found in either the iTunes Store or the iTunes Match database (not necessarily the same), the more likely they'll do something about it. Crowd-sourced Q/A for Apple!
And thanks for the link you posted, Michael=)

    Hello, my iTunes dates are crashed on my mac, how can I download all my itunes match songs and save on my mac?

    Hi mrmoo13!
    You have a couple of options for transferring your music library from one computer to another. First, you can download all of your music that is stored in the cloud on iTunes Match by following the instructions on this page:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12284
    You can follow steps listed in the section right here:
    Play or download songs from iCloud
    You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
    If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
    To play the song, double-click it.
    To download the song, click the Download button.
    After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
    To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
    For information about downloading and playing songs on an iOS device, see the documentation for the device.
    In order to make it easier to download all of your music, you can highlight all of the songs in your iTunes Match section and then click download, as mentioned in these instructions.
    You can also choose to transfer the music from your old computer to the new one by following the steps in this article, whcih will give you some other options for doing this transfer:

  • How can I access my iCloud/iTunes Match music from my Macbook Pro?

    I have iTunes match up and running and syncing to my home computer.  It works perfectly with my iOS devices.  I would also like to access my music from my portable laptop.  How can I do this?  There does not seem to be any obvious way to get to my music in the cloud from my laptop iTunes.

    I don't know how you managed to get Match working on your iOS devices without first enabling it on your computer, but that aside . . .
    Go to the "store" menu and select "enable iTunes Match"  from there you'll need to enter the same Apple ID You used to get it running.  Itunes Match will then scan the library and do its thing.  Generally you should leave it alone and not enable it on your iOS devices until it's all done uploading whatever songs it doesn't match.

  • How can I delete albums from itunes match

    Can you tell me or do you know how I can delete albums from iTunes match please

    I've got a similar problem.
    I know the way how to delete but it didn't work.
    When I delete a song with setting the "delete this song from iCloud" option, it seems to be deleted but after syncing it still exist!
    For example:
    Before deleting I've got 761 songs in Match
    I delete 10 songs with "Also delete this song from iCloud", empty the trash can and start match sync
    After 2 Minutes iTunes Match told me, there are 761 songs available - nothing will be deleted at iTunes Match

  • How can I re-download my iTunes match files to my iTunes library?

    Hello all, I am trying to reset my previously downloaded library music files (stored in the cloud via iTunes Match) so that I can download them again. My previously downloaded files were deleted while doing a Time Machine back up. Right now only an "!" is next to all my song lists indicating that they do not exist.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers

  • How can i be refunded for itunes match?

    I thought that iTunes match would replace the songs in my library with the itunes copy, instead it just charged me 24.99 and just put them in the icloud.  Should it have replaced the songs with the itunes copy, or is this what it does, because thats not worth $24.99

    From what I've read - if a song is noted as matched - you can delete it from iTunes.  It still shows up with a cloud next to it.  If you click on the cloud icon it will download to your iTunes the 256kb version of the song - again only if it is matched.
    The purpose of iTunes Match is to store copies in the cloud and automatically download to all your IOS devices automatically.  It's real purpose isn't to provide you different copies of your songs.  It is an easy back up and syncronization system.

    I recently purchased iTunes Match and have it all synced up however when I activated it on my Apple TV I can't see any of the songs? Anyone able to help please? I see all the songs on my ipad and iPhone but the Apple TV shows nothing?

  • Can anyone give me advice on how to deal with a corrupted itunes movie rental?

    Can anyone give me advice on how to deal with a corrupted itunes movie rental? I tried to download a movie and have been continuously trying to download it through the "check for available downloads" option, but it will not download.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

    How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

    How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
    Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
    I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
    You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
    To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
    1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
    3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
    4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
    5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
    This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

    Match was off.  I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option.  I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back.  This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
    I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work.  It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes.  However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes. 
    Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.
