HT4914 How does iTunes match work with multiple Apple IDs?

I am trying to set up an iTunes Match account that complies the music of my whole family so that we can all acceess it from our devices. First, is it possible to upload music from multiple apple IDs and / or devices. And is it possible to then access the iTunes match library from multiple apple IDs? I know you can access the muysic from up to 10 devices but do they all have to be logged into the same apple ID to do so? Thanks for the help

You'll need to have the music on a computer or an external drive connected to it.

How does iTunes Match work - do I keep the music?

Hey guys! With iOS 7, I can finally stream my music that I downloaded/bought on iTunes directly from iCloud, which is really amazing because I can finally free up my storage on my iPhone. Now, the only songs I have to store are the ones that I bought from places other than iTunes and I'm actually thinking about subscribing iTunes Match for several reasons:
1. I don't just download music from iTunes, I sometimes also buy music on Amazon and Google Play.
2. The music I bought on Amazon somehow has lower volume(intensity level, i.e. not loud) sometimes.
3. I did rip and still rip some music from CDs and it would be great if iTune can match it and then I can just stream them from iCloud.
4. The quality of some of the music I ripped was not the highest quality and I would love to upgrade them without having to rip them all over again.
Now, here is my question. Will the songs stay if I only subscribe iTunes Match for a year only and then cancel the service? That means if I cancel the service a year later, can I still stream my music from iCloud? So the music I bought elsewhere is equivalent to the music I bought on iTunes (the music stays with my Apple ID). One more question, I heard that sometimes iTunes can't match your songs because the artist name or album name in your library are spelled or showed differently (',' rather than '/', "The" rather than "the"). If iTunes can find the right album artwork for my music, can I also assume it will match my songs without any problem? So all I have to do *if* iTunes can't find the music is to modify the artist name or/and album name?
That's it! Thank you in advance!

Do you know how iTunes match the music? For example, I ripped the CD "Rent [Film Soundtrack]" and there are actually two discs, so I have two album names Disc 1 and Disc 2 while iTunes version only has one album and with different name of course ("Rent (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)"). In this case, will iTunes Match work?If not, is there anyway that I can make it work?
As I mentioned, ID3 tags are not a factor in whether a track will match or not. The service uses a small "sonic fingerprint" of the file which it compares against an online database. So your ripped album having a slightly different Album name than what is is in the iTunes Store actually will not have any effect on the tracks matching or not.

Another thing is that I know I get to keep my music as long as it is in my HDD, but can I still stream my songs directly from iCloud after I cancel the subscription as if I bought them on iTunes?
No.

How does Itunes Match work?

If I subscribe, does ITunes Match suck all of my songs off of my Imac and take them to the cloud, update them and return them to my hard drive - can I get the improved quality stuff back on my hard drive to replace the "inferior" stuff or does it stay in the cloud?
Next question - I have a bunch of songs in ITunes, more in a Music folder, and more in a downloads folder. I assume they should all be in ITunes to use ITunes match the best way. How do I get them out of the other folders into ITunes? Where should songs be on the computer (LION 10.75).

First, Thanks.
So I couldget all of my musc into Itunes (still not sure how) including the music on my IPOD, transfer it by Match to the cloud.
To add music to iTunes either simply drag-n-drop it, or pull down File > Add to Library. For music that is only on an iPod see this user tip: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Rick Carlton wrote:
Then could I download them all to a seperate folder, throw away the older stuff, somehow transfer the new stuff back into ITunes,and have all new stuff on my HD and Time Machine Back-up?
There is no downloading, moving or "transfering" required. Everything is done directly in iTunes. Time Machine will then backup everything on the internal HDD.

One more question - if they go to the cloud, do they sta there so my wife's Ipad and Iphone can play them?
You wife will have to be logged into your iTunes Store account to access iTunes Match.

Does iTunes Match work with library in Dropbox?

Getting ready to drag and drop my iTunes music library files to Dropbox for backup reasons. Will then of course point iTunes to the new location. Before I make the move, I'd like to first hear from users who, like me, are on iTunes Match but who, unlike me, have their library stored in Dropbox. What has the iTunes Match experience been once library is up in the cloud? Any concerns or dangers with this scheme? Anything I should be aware about?
My situation is simple. Not intending to share iTunes library with several computers, etc. That's why I signed up for Match in the first place. Only copying library to Dropbox as a backup. But need, no require, iTunes Match to continue working seamlessly for me.
Thank you for your feedback. Soon please.

Confirming that my disk space is mostly occupied by my music collection. And after spending $99 for extra Dropbox storage, I am not about to purchase additional disk capacity for my MacBook. How can I get out of this hole and is there a viable solution?
Can I confidently trash my iTunes folder, empty trash, connect my Time Capsule to my MacBook, launch/point iTunes to my most recent backup there, and then follow the steps given in
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
without deleting the iTunes library/media backup at the end, of course? In other words, copying directly from Time Capsule to my Dropbox. Is this doable? Desirable? Any dangers?

Does iTunes Match work with iPhone3?

I purchased iTunes Match to work between my Macbook and my iphone 3, but I've read that "Match" doesn't work with iphone3. Is this true? If so, is it possible to get a refund?

You need iOS 5.0.1 or later to be able to use iTunes Match on your iOS device.

Does itunes match work with an airplay device?

This is the picture: speaker with airplay, iphone 4s and itunes match-account. Can I stream music (itunes match) from iphone to airplay speaker device?

Once your Iphone has located the airplay speaker you should be able to stream music without issue. Have you tried to get your phone and speaker working together? Once you do you should be able to stream your music no problem.

After updating to iTunes 11, issues with multiple Apple IDs on one computer

My boyfriend and I both use the iMac, and both have Apple IDs. We are separate users on the iMac, and each logs in to his or her "side." Neither one of us had the slightest iTunes problem until we updated to iTunes 11. Now, I just discovered that the iMac is linked with his iTunes account for at least another 46 days, which means that I'm not allowed to download to the iMac purchases I made under my Apple ID on my phone.
Is there a way to fix this? It's ridiculous that one of us would be locked out for 90 days at a time when all we want to do is back up music we legally purchased.

Multiple users can "authorize" content on one computer, but in order to re-download content (including Match and stuff purchased on another device/computer), you have to "associate" the computer with that AppleID, and this can only be done for one AppleID per computer and can only change every 90 days.
This has always been the rule, but it's more obvious since iTunes 11, because all your previous purchases now appear as cloud content, and it's easy to screw things up by accident.
If you email the iTunes store, it's possible they will reset the counter and let you switch back to your AppleID (they did for me), but they will only do this once.
There's really no reason to "back up" stuff purchased from the store. If you want to listen to it on the computer, you can do "transfer purchases" while syncing, so there are workarounds. Still, it's unquestionably a stupid rule that punishes legitimate users and does nothing to stop illegal sharing. I encourage you to write very nasty feedback about it.

What does iTunes Match do with lossless apple audio files? Does it down convert to 256kb?

That would indeed be sad.

Hi,
See this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4437
When you play music from you computer, it will play your lossless files. When you stream music from your computer using airplay, it will play the music that is on your computer. As long as you keep the original files on you computer, there is no need to stream from the cloud.

How does create a server with multiple Clients ?

How does create a server with multiple Clients ?
Thanks

For a multithreaded server you will need a thread to listen and at least one thread per client. If the conversation is half duplex, one thread per client works very well, if it's full duplex you will find one thread to send and one to receive much easier to program.
I posted a Simple Socket Server that uses 1+2*clients threads.

How is itunes match working for yall?

how is itunes match working fr yall?

I'm using Match with my work computer, my home computer and our AppleTV.
Match works well with the ATV. I can now listen to nearly all of my libary without having a computer turned on and running iTunes.
Overall My experience has been an 8 out of 10.     Dissapointing. I have come to expect Apple to deliver a consistant 10.   If you haven't purchased match yet, I recommend you wait a few months.
All of my music is legal. iTunes store, CD rips, direct purchase from Artist's website and a few legal frebies from an Artist's website.
The initial match took days. I'm not counting that agasint Apple though. I've got a lot of music and a slow home connection. I still have about 100 tracks at home that need to upload.
Problems:
Duplicates.   Match gave me hundredes of duplicates.    --- At a minimum Match should be able to replace an old 128kbps DRM iTunes purchase with the 256k matched version.
Match also duplicated CD rips.   For example if I ripped a CD as ALAC, match gave me a 256kbps duplicate. It shouldn't.   Match has an annoying habbit of picking the lower quality version as the 'real' one and the ALAC as the duplicate.
I haven't had as many problems with lost information as others have reported, but I did have to go back and fix a few CD rips.
I fixed most of this by hand but it took hours.
Music that refuses to match at all. I still have dozens of tracks that won't match.   Mostly this is music I've purchase directly from a Band's website. The files are ALAC or FLAC converted to ALAC.   There doesn't seem to be any rule as to what will or will not match. Some albums matched a few tracks but not others.

HT5637 How does itunes match sync playlists?

How does itunes match sync playlists between my computer, ipad and ipod?

It will tell you that the library exceeds the limit and will not proceed. So if you have more than the 25k limit (and keep in mind that iTunes Store purchases do not count against this limit) the only way you can use iTM is to move some music out of the library to get under the limit before signing up for the service.
