How do I add "non-Match" songs to my iPhone?

I've recently joined ITunes Match and in all honesty, I'm a little disapointed.  However, I'll probably keep it for the year and try it out.
That being said.  According to what I've read about Itunes match, the only way I can get songs to my Iphone is through "the cloud".  So isn't there a way that I can put songs on my phone that are not available through "the cloud"?
I have over 2000 songs that according to Itunes are 'ineligible' and therefore do not show up on my phone for download like all the rest of my music does.  So again, If I have a song on my computer, isn't there any way for me to get it on my phone without having to go through the Cloud?  Am I just supposed to accept that fact that I have over 2000 songs in my library that I'll never be able to listen to on my phone as long as I have Music Match on?  If this is the case, it seems as though there is a very big flaw in the Itunes Match system!
Also, According to info, songs need to be smaller than 200mb and be at least 96kbps.  Well apparently I have songs that I have ripped from CDs and put in Itunes that for whatever reason are less than 96.  Is there a way for me to convert those to 96kbps?
Thanks for any help!!

I don't know why the songs aren't matching.
Just because a song does not "match" does not mean it won't be available in the cloud. Non-purchased tracks that are not matched will be uploaded to the cloud. You need to enable the iCloud Status. Pull down View > View Options and select "iCloud Status" then close the small window.

iTunes only shows one kind of cloud icon next to songs, viz, a cloud with a down arrow set in a grey background. There are no cloud icons next to any other songs. I'm not sure what their status is consequently.
Unless you've deleted the track from the iTunes library you shouldn't see any cloud icons next to songs that have been successfully processed. Did you delete any tracks?

What is really want is to match and also be able to keep the songs that don't match. Are these mutually exclusive goals? If so, then I don't want iTunes Match after all.
You do. The tracks in the iTunes library are not touched or modified in any way. They stay right where they are unless you delete them.

Also, I thought Match was supposed to convert the songs that are matched to 256 kbps. This has not at all happened. I don't see any that were upconverted at all.
This does not happen automagically. You must delete the track from the iTunes library and download the "matched" track. But upgrading only works for tracks that have been "matched." Tracks that have been "uploaded" are exactly the same as what was on your HDD. See my instructions above to enable the iCloud Status column.

  • How do you add/sync "ineligible" songs to an iPhone?

    If I want to download a sub-128 kbps music file and get it on my iPhone immediately, how does one go about this? The file isn't eligible to be uploaded to the cloud, and it doesn't show up on my "Recently Added" playlist.
    Prior to iCloud, I would simply have the "Recently Added" playlist set in the "Music" tab of my iPhone in iTunes to sync automatically with my iPhone. That way, I would add the music file to iTunes, sync, and the file would be available on my iPhone via the "Recently Added" playlist (or via Artist, Song, etc., but this was the easiest way).
    Now, after adding the file, I get nothing in my "Recently Added" playlist, nor does it even sync to my iPhone. There isn't even an option to select which playlists get synced to my iPhone.
    Anybody have an idea re: how can I get an "ineligible" (sub-128 kbps) music file directly from my computer to my iPhone now, without using Dropbox or a similar workaround? I simply want to add the file to iTunes and have it available on my iPhone after a sync like I did prior to iTunes Match.

    First, enable the view options for iCloud status.  sort the new column.  highlight the songs listed as ineligible.  Go to the advanced menu and select "create AAC version"  with the original files still highlighted, hit delete.  when prompted if you want them moved to the trash, say no.  then re-run match.  The AACs should all be eligible, so they will either match or upload.
    I should have added that if you really don't want to fix the problem, just get the song on your iphone, you'd have to turn the iPhone's match off, do a manual USB sync, then turn match back on.  However, some have reported problems in making this work.

  • How do I add and remove songs from my iPhone through iTunes.

  • Identify non-matched songs?

    After iTunes Match recognition and upload of non-matched songs in the iTunes catalog, how can I know wich musics was non matched?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Select your music library.  Go to View Options.  Check the  "icloud status" box.  Go to the new icloud status colum and do a sort.  You will see "matched" "uploaded" "waiting" (if songs were identied as needing to be uploaded, but haven't been processed yet) and "ineligible."
    With iTunes match enabled, it is also now possible to make a smart playlist to show "uploaded" and "ineligible", etc.  Just look for "icloud status" when you go to make the smart playlist.

  • ITunes Match won't upload non-matched songs on my home network

    As it says in the subject, iTunes Match won't upload non-matched songs on my home network. For a while I thought the problem was with iTunes Match itself. And maybe it still is somehow. But I recently discovered the problem only occurs on my own home network. Any time I add a song to iTunes that isn't in the iTunes store, it should upload it. But instead it just loops in failed attempts to upload, always stopping and starting over at step 1. Occasionally I'll get error messages like -9810, but more often it'll just continue to loop for hours on end. I recently took my MBP to a coffee shop and used their wifi and tried it there, and the songs uploaded without any problem at all. I never used to have this issue over the entire year I was using iTunes Match. My only guess as to what might have caused the issue is when we downgraded the speed of our internet. I can't recall for certain whether that was the exact time my issues began, but it's the only possible change I can think of. I've tried rebooting the router, turning iTunes Match and Genius off and on, rebooting the computer, creating a new iTunes Library, all not solving my problem. Any other ideas?

    There's a longer thread discussing this problem over here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4160355?start=120&tstart=0
    What I posted there is that if I enable QOS on my router and limit my upload bandwidth (I used a cap of 1024 kilobits/second) then iTunes Match stops looping and will successfully upload songs and complete match.
    There aren't any blocked ports, it's really just iTunes being a pig and oversaturating the internet connection to a point of failure.
    Super frustrating, it's been a bug for months. I wish I had a better solution.

  • How do you add non-Garage band instruments into a Logic project so that you can hear them on playback?

    How do you add non-Garage band instruments (orchestral instruments) into a Logic Pro (8) project so that you can hear those insrtruments' sounds on playback?  I've tried to understand and follow the Logic Pro 8 User Manual, but the process comes off as so complex and the writing so technical that it does not help but only confuses.
    To be precise - I want to add instruments (orchestral) that are not offered in the current Garage band menu which is offered in the Mixer's channel strip menus for Logic Pro 8.  To be clear, the instruments that are offered are Bass / Drum Kits / Guitars / Mallets / Organs / Pianos and Keyboards / Synth Basics / Synth Leads / Synth Pads.  Most of these that I've tried seem to work and give their characteristic sound when placed in a particular channel and playback is clicked. 
    However - there is one orchestra instrument offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Mixer channel menu and it's the item labelled "Performance - 000 flute 1 or 001 flute 1."  And it is this instrument that presents a problem. When I click on it and choose it from the menu and enter it as the instrument of choice for a specfic channel / track in my Logic Pro project arrangement, when playing back the music for the overall piece this particular track, the flute, does not playback and produce the notes (Midi events) in the track in the sound of the flute.  Instead, nothing comes out at all.  I can't imagine why this does not work.  Any ideas, anyone? Again, when choosing this instrument for a track and clicking the playback no flute sound is forthcoming.  Why not? I have not tried them all, but when most of the other various types of keyboards, such as an electric piano or an organ, are chosen for a track the playback successfully renders the sound of these instruments.  Why then does playback not produce the sound of the flute when it has clearly been chosen to play and sound the Midi events given it?
    Anyway, the overall, larger issue for me is the inability I have to choose and get non-Garageband instruments (largely orchestral) to play the Midi events given on various tracks. If my guess is correct then technically, orchestral instruments not offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Garageband Mixer channel menu are referred to as external Midi sampled instruments - still, IMHO the process is not clearly spelled out in the User Manual.  The simple step by step process whereby a non-Garage band instrument, say an orchestral instrument, is placed in a channel replete with Midi event (notes) waiting to be played should be easy, logical and given in a simple to follow format, but is not.
    What with all the talk of routes, busses, auxillary channels, GM devices, GM mixers, audio bins, libraries and audio files this Logic Pro User is confused to the max.  Can someone please help me and, in simple English, describe the step by step process whereby presumably external sampled orchestral instruments can be successfully employed, in any given Logic Pro arrangement project, to render their characteristic sounds upon playback?
    On my two Macs, one a laptop and one a much larger Mac, I have any number of the GSO (Garritan Symphony Orceshtra) and Vienna Symphony Orchestra instrument library samples - and yet - I've yet to figure out how to actually get them INTO a Logic Pro project of any kind!  To put this as a question, even as a humble request, how can I make good use of these orchestral sample libraries in a Logic Pro project?  Can someone steer my to a clear resolution of this issue.  I'd sincerely appreciate it!  Thanks all!

    David,  you understand that this is professional software and is not necessarily meant to be easy but is in fact designed to give the professional user as many choices as possible, that's why it's in the Pro Apps section. You WILL need to learn about buses, GM Devices, Audio Bins, Libraries...etc..etc if you intend to use Logic.
    That said, you are looking in the wrong place in the channel strip.
      May I offer you advice?
    Go here:
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/
    Open "Exploring Logic Pro"  (a short PDF Document). Pay special attention to chapter 3. Also pay special attention to the included graphics of the channel strips.
    I encourage you to read the whole document as it will clear up many things... even though it's a Logic 9 document.

  • How can I add the same song more than once?

    how can I add the same song to my ipod shuffle more than once?

    Thanks. I tested it, and found that I can create a bookmark in FolderA, and them manually copy it to FolderB, FolderC, and FolderD.
    Once that is done, I tried the old method of "Bookmarks" --> "Bookmark This Page" and added it to FolderE. When I did that, it deleted the copy in FolderD but left the other three alone!
    This is fine with me. I personally think this is a bug, because I don't think that Firefox should ever delete a bookmark without asking me (or at least, informing me). But now that I understand the algorithm, I can work around it. Thanks!
