HT4914 iTunes Match limit

I own about 2000 classical music and jazz CDs. I assume that they would need more than the 25,000 song maximum on iTunes Match. Any ideas about how to go over the 25,000 limit?

The limit of 25,000 is unique to iTunes. Other services have more generous limits. For example on the Amazon cloud service, the limit is 250,000 songs.
Both iTunes and Amazon charge $24.99 a year.

HT4914 Itunes match not updating play list?

I've been using itunes match for about a month and noticed something annoying.
When I add a song to a certain play list that play list dissappears from itunes match on my phone.
I restarted my phone...re-synced imatch thru itunes and nothing..
Anybody else have this problem or know how to fix?
Thanks

Dear Jim
thank you so much. Thank you for your quick reply, sorry I did not respond sooner, but I wanted to make sure it worked before replying, hence I had to wait for iTunes Match to do its thing.
You are are a genius Jim, so a big thank you.
So in a nutshell for all, Jim's solution works for those who have gone over their 25,000 limit by mistake, and are unable to update match, you can with Jim's solution, delete stuff in the iTunes Match cloud and in effect have your original iTunes Match library as you want it.
Thank you Jim

HT4914 iTunes Match resubscribe?

I subscribed to iTunes Match a few days ago and I only disabled it and now it says I have to subscribe

Hello mami.g21
As long as you are using the same Apple ID, it should not have an issue with reassociating it with your iTunes library. If you are charged again, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

How stays the iTunes Match limit (25000 songs) after exclude songs?

Hello,
Somebody knows if after exclude musics from iCloud which was matched by the iTunes Match, the limit of 25000 songs is replaced in proportion of the exclude ones, or stays the same?

In this case, I have over 25k songs and some of the songs that exceeded the limit - and therefore were outside the iCloud - are better than some that were made available by iTunes Match in iCloud.
So I'm thinking of deleting some of these songs in my library (only in iTunes library), and iCloud respectively, to release limit for load that best songs that were left out on the first time at iTunes Match scan my library.
The question is: by doing so, my library back to be below the limit, or once reached the 25k, there's no going back, even deleting songs from iCloud?
thanks for the reply

HT4914 iTunes Match / icloud

I have a MacBook , ipad & iPhone , I'm thinking about iTunes Match & storing all music in the cloud but as my MacBook is the main computer for the house does it need to always be on for the music to work ?

You pay separately for Match. It will hold up to 25,000 tracks plus your iTunes purchases.

My wife and I have separate apple acounts id's do we need two iTunes Match acounts?

If you each want to use iTunes Match, yes. Match is on per-account basis.

HT4914 iTunes Match .... Will this work with a mini with a 32 bit processor?

Does iTunes Match work with 32. Bit as well as 64 bit processors?

Do you have iTunes 10.5.1+ on it ? That is the only requirement that is listed for it to work on a Mac.

HT4914 iTunes Matching Songs WITHOUT Local Files

So my music collection is nearly 12,000 songs. I built it for nearly 10 years, and cherish it. Sadly, however, the external hard drive I stored all my music on is dead, and the backup files are corrupted. (This is what happens when you go back to Windows ) So now I'm left with options of expense: A) I can hire a data recovery service (my first quote was $1,200- completely out of my price range), B) Start allllllll over again, or (hopefully) C) sign up for iTunes Match and match all of the music that could at least be found in the iTunes catalogue.
Here's my question: If I sign up for iTunes Match, and drop the (totally reasonable) $25, will iTunes scan my Library as it is, or does it require that I have the local files? If it needs the local files, then the $25 will be for little more than the option of giving me cloud access to the few files I have left. However, if it scans my library (which I'm generally very anal about organizing) and gives me even HALF of my music back, then it's worth its weight in gold.
Too Long, Didn't Read: does iTunes Match scan local files, or does it just look at the library that is still in my iTunes?
Please help!

Well, the computer was on all day while I was at work, but I don't think anyone would have come in the house and deleted my music files from iTunes. Anyway, I think the best approach would be to add the entire media folder back into iTunes. I tried it with one song and it initially showed a duplicate, but then iTunes match did an update and removed the duplicate song. I'll do that this evening just before I'm done using the Mac and let the process happen overnight.

HT4914 iTunes Match song maximum

iTunes Match "stores" 25,000 songs from your library as mentioned. What happens if you have more than 25,000 songs in your iTunes library? How does it choose the songs to match and make available for the other devices?

You will need to have downloaded your music onto your iPad (or other device or computer) if you want to play it on that deivce whilst you don't have an internet connection - so whilst you are still connected, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5637 :
Once your iTunes Match library has finished syncing to your device, you can browse by Genius Mixes, Playlists, Artists, Songs, Albums, Compilations, Composers, and Genres. When you find a Genius Mix, playlist, album, or artist you like, simply tap on the Genius Mix or song title to begin streaming that song or playlist. If you begin streaming a song from a playlist, iTunes Match will continue playing through the rest of your playlist after the initial song has finished. If you'd like to download the song or playlist to your device, simply tap the download button to the right of the song or at the bottom of the playlist.

So you have immediate access to a huge music library without having to worry about the storage space on your device.

HT4914 iTunes Match storage size

iTunes Match says you can store up to 250,000 songs. But are you limited by the 5GB of free iCloud space, or is extra storage space included with your iTunes Match subscription?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The songs you uploaded to iTunes Match don't take iCloud storage. iCloud storage is designed to store files on iCloud, and it's not affected by other services like iTunes Match. You can store up to 250,000 songs without worrying about the iCloud storage
