How does iMatch determine when to "match" and when to upload?

Does anyone know how iTunes Match determines a match?
I have songs purchased from non-iTunes sources and, even though they are available in iTunes, iMatch is uploading them instead of "matching" them. Any idea why? Is there something I can change in the song info to make them match? Genre maybe? The artist, album, and song names match as best as I can determine, but maybe iTunes Match is expecting them to be slightly different, like capitalization differences or something? Anyone know?

I'm very interested in this as well. I have dozens of ripped CDs that are also available on iTunes, but they didn't match. In some cases, it was one or two songs. In others, it was the whole album. For example, Beggars Banquest by the Rolling Stones did not get matches. U2's War was mostly matched, but a couple of songs were not. "Drowning Man" from War is 4:15 on the CD but 4:14 on iTunes. Is it as simple as that? I would think Match would work more from a signature (like the app Stanza) versus length and such. Those are too easy to get wrong.

    This may be a basic question... but in InDesign, how does one determine the pixel size of a text box? Specifically, we need to write text to specifications of 600 pixel width, and have no idea a) how to scale a text box to specific pixel width, b) how to determine what word count we can fit in, and c) how to do it in a table? Thanks!

    Set your ruler increments to pixels Preferences>Units & Increments. You can fill the text box with placeholder text Type>Fill with Placeholder text and get a word count from the Info panel with Show Options turned on from the flyout.
    From the Transform panel you can set a text box's width and height

    hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music'  then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

  • How does SharePoint determine files are duplicates in search results?

    In the search results, some files are grouped as duplicates (a hyperlink view duplicates appears under the search result).
    How does SharePoint determines that 2 files are duplicates?
    How does SharePoint determines the one that is shown in the search result (the 'main' file)?
    Can we influence both?
    Patrik | My Blog

    I don't know if this helps, but I've been looking into the same problem that's come to light a few times during troubleshooting customised deployments of SharePoint recently.  This is my understanding so far (paraphrased from http://blogs.technet.com/harikumh/archive/2008/11/14/some-interesting-facts-about-sharepoint-2007-search.aspx):
    Document similarity or matching for the purposes of identifying duplicates is based only on a hash of the content of the document.  None of the file properties are used in calculating the hash (i.e. things like filename, author, create and modify dates are not used).  The SQL table MSSDuplicateHashes in the SSP’s search database holds all the 64bit hashes necessary to determine if one document is a near-duplicate of another against each indexed document.  This table is read while doing a search to determine duplicates if removal of duplicates is enabled.

  • How does system automatically picks up document type when you enter INV?

    1.How does system automatically picks up document type when you enter Invoice?
    2.What is Algorithms? Where is it used?
    3.What is the use of Customer Ledger Inquiry?

    The document type is hard coded by the system. Look at UDC table 00/DT for the document types in your system. Notice that some of those are marked as hard coded/reserved by JDE. You may wish to dowload the Accounts Receivable manual and read that to learn more about the document types.
    Not sure what you mean by algorithm, unless you are looking for how the system determines what document type to assign on invoice entry.
    These comments apply to accounts receivable and to JDE World, since you posted in the JDE World forum and are talking about the customer ledger inquiry. If you are in Enterprise One and asking about Accounts Payable, then this reply can be ignored (though Enterprise One works pretty similar to World in this respect).
    What is the use of the Customer Ledger Inquiry. To view accounts receivable detail history for a given customer, viewing on line. Whomever works in the accounts receivable department will likely use the Customer Ledger Inquiry quite a bit.
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • How do I determine what URL to use when launching to display a RH10 .htm page?

    Hello,
    We are implementing RoboHelp 10 for our online documentation and are sourcing it from Framemaker 11. I am trying to determine exactly what URL information the developers need to build for the launch to the specific IBM System i screen. Is anyone launching RoboHelp from a backend ERP system? If so, how did you determine what level to use when building the URL for that page?  Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

    It depends on whether you just want to open the help at the default topic or open context sensitive topics.
    Both methods are described in Calling Help on my site and there is more good information at http://www.wvanweelden.eu
    See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

  • How does vendor determine if no info record is maintained for the material

    how does vendor determine if no info record is maintained for the material

    Hi
    If you have to determine a vendor, the minimum requirement is Info record. Beyond that, you can ofcourse maintain Source Lists, Quota Arrangements but Info record is bare minimum for automatic determination of vendor.
    Otherwise, you have to maintain the vendor manually in th Purchasing docs.
    Tcodes for Info record are ME11, ME12, and ME13.
    Hope this clarifies.
    Thanks

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • I uploaded music in the match and when i want to play it in my phone, some of the tracks appear blocked (blanked) and a few not. When I'm connected through a wi fi spot, i can play all of the tracks. Help!

    Hi,
    You need a wifi connection to stream. Previously played tracks appear in a temporary cache which allows them to be played again when yOu have no wifi..
    You can either predownload selected tracks or use cellular data.

    Hello User909807,
    After having some close calls with fraudulent purchases on my own bank account, I know how scary it can be to know someone else other than you had your personal information, so it was nice to know my issuing bank was helping keep my identity safe. Having said that, it’s completely understandable why it’d be frustrating to discover you were unable to continue making purchases after confirming your identity via text, and I apologize if this caused any unintentional frustration.
    While I’ll be sure to document your feedback regarding our partnership with Citibank, N.A., please know that they are the issuer of your My Best Buy credit card account. As such, I will be glad to share your concerns with our Citibank contacts so that they may contact you to discuss your account in further detail. Please know you should receive follow-up contact from them within the next 3-5 business days.
