Managing iTunes Match

Hi folks. I'd like to unsderstand a few things about iTunes Match.
First of all, is it possible to set a thumbnail/artwork for folders with lists inside? Look at the picture below:
The "Pop & Rock" folder has 14 playlists inside but there is no thumbnail for this folder and as you can see it says that there is no music inside that folder. When i'm not using iTunes Match all folders have a thumbnail.
The other question a have is if is it possible to hide playlists in itunes match. i do have a few playlists and also folders in my mac that are being synced with itunes match but i dont want the to show up in my iphone and ipad. is there a way to set them to dont show up in my mobile devices?
thanks in advance.

I've never synced a folder of playlists to my iOS device prior to iTunes Match, so I've not seen folders with artwork icons. But with iTunes Match folders don't get artwork icons. They also just show there is no content when there is. I don't know why.

Yes, this is possible. Either add an ineligble item to the playlist, such as a video or Digital Booklet, or it is a Smart Playlist have it reference another playlist. This will make the playlist inegliglbe for iTunes Match and it will not show up in the cloud.

Best Way to Manage iTunes Match for Family?

So what's going to be the best way to handle iTunes Match with multiple iThing users in the family? I've got an iPhone (with an associated AppleID), my wife has an iPhone (with her own AppleID) and is getting an iPad for Christmas. The kids both have hand-me-down previous generation iPhones (currently set to Airplane mode for use as iPods, but perhaps with their own AppleIDs in the future).
All of our music (about 10,000 songs) is ripped and stored in iTunes, under my AppleID, but I'd like for all family members to be able to access the family's music collection. How am I supposed to handle this? Do I have to associate all of the iThings with my AppleID? If so, what are the other consequences of that going to be?

Mine is still uploading/matching; so far, I am able to see the song list with the little cloud icon indicating (I guess) that that song is available on Match. I can also see the same list on another computer running iTunes and logged into Match.
However, I can't figure out how to access the service from my iPhone. Never mind; just found the "Use iTunes Match" option in System Settings. Signed in, agreed to the "your music will be replaced" warning....and nothing happens. I'm going to assume for the time being that it's because my library isn't finished updating.

Managing iTunes match on multiple computers

I have iTune match turned on across two macbooks, an iPhone and iPad.
Both music libraries on the two macbooks are identical with all of the songs physically downloaded to both hard drives. I am in the process of turning one macbook into a strictly work computer without music to free up space. However, when I go to delete songs from that macbook, I am notified that the song will be deleted across all of my devices. I still want all of my music on the other macbook as well as my iPhone and iPad. How can I delete my music library from my "strictly work" macbook without losing it across all of my other devices?

Hi,
1. Yes, if you deleted the tracks from the cloud, they would no longer be available in Match on your IOS devices. However, you will still have the tracks on your first computer BUT the Icloud Status would be "Removed".
2. Yes you can turn off match then delete the tracks from the computer. This should not affect music in Match and I believe the message about removing tracks refers to devices that you sync with that computer. If in future you wish to stream music on your works computer, you can re-activate match.
PS You should as a matter of course back up your music on an external drive!

Question about managing itunes match music in ios8

In ios7 I was able to keep track of how much music was being downloaded via itunes match as it streamed from my phone, and I could see how much space was being used as I listen to music. I'm not seeing the same ability in ios8 - I assume all the music I "stream" that gets downloaded to my device but isn't showing up in music usage is going into "other" - but I don't see a way to determine how much space this is actually using on my phone other than guessing by how many gigs "other" uses when I connect to itunes. But I don't see a way to see this directly on my phone. Neither by looking at how much space is left on my phone (this doesn't seem to update by playing itunes match music), or my looking at the actual music files on my phone, which are only showing songs that I physically downloaded vs. playing from the cloud.
Also, can I delete all the music on my phone that is stored from playing on itunes match but I didn't actually hit the download button for? In ios7 I was able to have the cached music automatically go away by turning itunes match off - I got mixed results when I did this yesterday and had to reformat my phone to clear out the "other" space - and I"m just guessing at this point that this is why my other got so large.
Any clarity around how this is handled in ios8 vs ios7 would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there.
I have the same problem, and its annoying. In iOS7 I was able to delete all the music that i played via streaming, and I play music like that 98% of yhe time. In iOS 8 i can only delete music that I have explicitly download but the streamed one seems to be hide.
The only solution to this, that is a waste of time is to turn of "show all music", see which music is already downloaded, downloads manually and the erase it.
Hope Apple release and update to fix this problems

Managing iTunes Match iCloud Uploads

I have a lot of songs that are not in iTunes Store (e.g. mixtapes, remixes). Can I select which of these non-iTunes Store songs get uploaded to iCloud and which do not? Will it just upload songs at random until my allocated iCloud space is filled up?

Jim,
Thanks for this, appreciate it.
Of the previous ITL files, the latest is back at the start of June so reverting back to this isnt really an option as there have been mutiple changes and numerous cd's added to the library since then.
As i say, the music does appear to be in the cloud as i can access from other devices. Its just the icloud staus field is now blank int he library.
If i leave as is, i take it no mjaor issue or must i take corrective action to resolve?
Im concerned that with those files with a blank status field i select get info and it says "not yet processed by itunes match" however it does appear to be in the cloud after being uploaded previously.
Sorry for the hassle Jim.....

How to manage Itunes Match library on IPhone.

I hate seeing my whole library even though it is not downloaded. Can't they have a My local library tab and a separate match tab so I can choose what I want put onto my local phone? I have turned of the show all music option in the music settings however now I cant find a way to add music from match. Any suggestions?

Hi
There are only two options. The first is to show all which includes music that has been downloaded as well as the music in the cloud. The second is to show only music that has been downloaded.
So you will to have show all music turned on so that you can download additional tracks.
An alternative is to turn off match on your phone and sync by wifi or cable.

Can I request an upgrade on iTunes Match so I can exceed 25K songs?

Can I request an upgrade on iTunes Match so I can exceed 25K songs?

Hi,
Read this user tip Managing iTunes match with over 25k tracks
Jim

I'm using iTunes Match now, can I no longer manage the music on my iPhone through a playlist on my computer in iTunes?

I used to pick and choose the music I wanted to take up the storage space on my iPhone through iTunes on my computer (note: not on my phone). Now that I use iTunes Match, the only way to delete songs seems to be to use my iPhone and swipe on whichever artists or songs I want to delete. Can I no longer use a playlist in iTunes to choose which music takes up the storage space? Let me know.. I still want to be able to play a song I haven't synched up to my phone through iTunes Match if I need to, though, so I don't want to just turn it off (plus I paid $25 for it...). Thanks!!

A few things:
1) By default, iTunes Match puts *nothing* on your iPhone. It just lists the songs that are in the cloud, and you can download them if you choose to. It seems like that's what you want, but you say you're not getting it. You don't have to delete everything you don't want. On the contrary: You have to download everything you do want. I'm confused.
Basically, my phone is already completely full (32GBs) of music and a few high def videos at the moment. I *want* about 24GBs of music on my phone right now. I *have* about 28 on there. It is nice to have that 24GBs of music on my phone because iTunes Match doesn't work perfectly - sometimes if I am driving, and I click play on a song I want to hear that isn't on my phone, it takes 20-40 seconds to start to play (with songs/mixes over 30 minutes, this can be several minutes). I want to keep a lot of songs on my phone, permanently, all the time, and choose songs to add to that permanent list as I choose/download them.
Maybe this will make it a little bit clearer, I realize this isn't the easiest thing to describe and I've had a few beers: I downloaded (by clicking play on my phone) songs I don't want to take up space on my phone. I clicked play on them, on my phone, while driving in my car. Heard that song once, now I don't want to hear it again for awhile, and I certainly don't want it taking up my precious space on my phone. Now imagine this situation times 100 or so.. that's 100 different songs (a few of them very long mixes) on my phone that I have to go in and manually delete by swiping. I want to do it from my computer.. it'd be way easier to find them and delete them.
Anyway, I think the answer is that there isn't a way to manage my music with iTunes Match enabled on my computer. No big deal, I guess, just suggesting there should be easier ways.
2) You actually don't need iTunes Match to redownload a song that you forgot to sync over, as long as it's a song you purchased in iTunes. Anyone (match subscriber or not) can redownload iTunes-purchased music, tv shows, apps, and books right from the device in the iTunes app.
I have never downloaded a song from iTunes, so this doesn't apply.
3) In your mind, what are the features of iTunes Match on the iPhone other than makin your entire library accessible for download from the cloud? As far as my logic takes me, if you want to manually control what's on it, you specifically don't want iTunes Match enabled, and I don't see any other reason you would want it enabled.
The only feature I am using iTunes Match for is to download music I haven't synced to my phone, onto my phone. I just want to be able to delete it later from my computer. I guess I want to be able to see the songs I have downloaded since the last sync so that I could easily delete those songs.. Yes, that would be a good solution.

Advice on managing library with iTunes Match

Hi All
I am running out of hard drive space on my mac for my music and need advice on how to manage my vast libary of music.
I have itunes match + timecapsule but can't put trust in a cloud backup + don't know how have a media backup on my timecapsule
Should I just think to delete my hardrive media and put trust in a itunes match?
Any help on best practice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Adam.

Should I just think to delete my hardrive media and put trust in a itunes match?
Adam,
Absolutely not. You must always keep a backup on physical media.
Here is a user tip by Michael Allbritton with more explanation: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112
And here is the official legal notice from Apple:
"iTunes Match is provided on an “AS IS” basis and may contain errors or inaccuracies that could cause failures, corruption or loss of data and/or information, including music, playlist, and play history, from your computer or device and from peripherals (including, without limitation, servers and other computers) connected thereto. You should back up all data and information on your computer or device and any peripherals prior to using iTunes Match. You expressly acknowledge and agree that all use of iTunes Match is at your sole risk."

How can I easily manage what songs go to Itunes Match

I have about 50k songs in my music library and not unlike other people I only ever listen to about 10% of it. So I want to be able to easily manage what is in Itunes Match and What is not. Besides clicking each individual track is there a way to Manage by genre or artist ?

iTunes Match is all-or-nothing. If it is in the iTunes library it will be included in the initial scan, match and upload. However, with your library you will not be allowed to even activate the service. You will need to remove over half of the tracks from the iTunes library for it to be eligible for iTunes Match.

Apple should make iTunes Match management better.

When you play a song on your phone via iTunes Match, the audio file still on the phone, so it can be played offline on the go. The problem is, the cloud button still appearing and theres no way to delete those songs in order to set free space.
I created a smart playlist to view the local songs and it worked... i have more than 100 offline songs, they still appear as not downloaded... so if i click download the song will be duplicated.
How can i delete the songs without restoring the phone and start all over again and again...?

Turn match off, then back on to clear those (Settings app > Music). You are better off downloading tracks rather than simply streaming to prevent that.

Can I use iTunes Match for 2 iPhones with different music, same account?

My wife and I each have an iPhone and share an iTunes account. We share a master music library but each manually manage our music on our iPhones. So she has certain songs on her phone and I have different ones on mine, both coming from the same master library. I'm trying to figure out if I can use iTunes Match in this scenario. I don't want to see her songs on my iPhone. Is there a way to only see music on my iPhone if I use Match or am I stuck seeing my entire library on my iPhone?

I think I'm getting it finally, thanks for the clarification. So at least I know there is a way to not see all music in my library from my iPhone.
So in my case i have about 800 songs on my iPhone out of about 1600 on my iTunes library. If I'm understanding correctly I would have to enable Match on my iPhone, then turn off the "show all music" option. This in turn should leave me with my original 800 songs listed which I woud then have to download from the cloud. Once I have all of my 800 songs back down from the cloud I won't be required to download them again from that phone.
A worse scenario would be that I enable Match, and then have to find my 800 songs out of the total 1600 manually from the list and then download them from the cloud.
Which scenario is correct?

WORKAROUND - Found a Way to Force iTunes Match to UPLOAD

I wanted to let everyone know that after months of living with incorrect matches (mainly The Beatles in Mono), I've finally found a semi-easy workaround to force uploads. I haven't found this anywhere else, but if someone else has documented it, I apologize. I posted this onto one of the many threads regarding the issue quite some time ago (~ 6 months), but I wanted to make sure it was seen by as many as possible. (Sorry for the long post—skip anything you're not interested in! )
MY THEORY
The basis of this was noticing that there seemed to be discrete steps to the matching process (when adding via already-ripped FILES and not CD at least):
You add the files to iTunes
You can force a scan by right-clicking and selecting "Add to iCloud"
iTunes scans the new files
iTunes reports that it is sending the file data to Apple
iTunes waits for a "Matched" or "No Match" response from Apple
If the response is "No Match," then iTunes triggers the upload
After observing this for some time, I concluded that if (edited) files could be imported that would give a definite "No Match" result, there may be time in-between steps 4 and 6 to replace the files with the real ones (which had been triggering a false match in the past). To my delight, this worked. Here's what I did:
STEP-BY-STEP:
Deleted existing files from iTunes/iCloud, but kept the files on the computer. I then moved these to a different folder.
Took existing files and converted them with dBpoweramp. This will cost money but is well worth it if you are looking for a way to force an upload to iTunes Match. I converted them using the same AAC settings (this doesn't matter), but added the "reverse" DSP, which reverses the audio. This has been enough to foil iTunes into not matching the track, while ensuring that each file will contain unique audio data. This will be quick and painless, at least for the first time. I did it this way because it will retain all of the tags AND length of the file. iCloud will get the file length from this step, and will not change it afterward...so you probably want to use files of the same length as the real ones.
Now I have a copy of the files with audio gibberish but still having correct metadata, etc. I then put these files in my "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder.
Right-clicked on these files and selected "Add to iCloud." If you use "Sort Album" like I do, you can change it before this step and it will upload into iCloud with the correct sort information. If done afterward, it doesn't usually sort correctly on my iPhone.
After iTunes displayed the message "Sending information to Apple" (don't remember the exact message), I pasted the original (correct) files and replaced my audio gibberish files. It is important to note that the filenames must be the same, e.g. "01 Come Together.m4a" if a single-disc, or "1-01 Back in the USSR.m4a" if multidisc. iTunes will also truncate the file name at 36 characters (I believe) so this will all need to be done beforehand. I use various MP3tag actions that I'd be happy to share if anyone wants them. If you are starting with a file that has already existed in your iTunes library, this will already be done (provided iTunes is managing the library).
When Apple returns a "No Match" signal back to iTunes, it then begins to upload the files which I have just pasted.
This has worked for me 100% if doing the upload one time. In some rare cases, I may decide to EQ a file and then re-upload, or otherwise edit the file. Or perhaps I have more than one version (original/remastered, or original mix/remix) that I want to coexist in my library. In those cases, I have again utilized the dBpoweramp "VST Plug-in" DSP, where I use something like Freq Show to garble the audio. It is necessary for the garbled audio to be unique each time for this to work.
A FEW THINGS I HAVE LEARNED
If you delete a file and wish to re-upload it, you can use the same files from step 2 (provided you still have them) and iTunes will recognize them as the files previously uploaded. I am not sure how long this works, but your uploaded music remains in iCloud, though invisible, for some time — even if you selected "Delete from iCloud."
iTunes/iCloud evidently does use metadata (at least Album) to help determine if you've already uploaded a song within the same album. I ran into this when trying to test an EQ/level change I had made, and even though the audio content was completely different, iTunes would not upload or would flag as duplicate. If I altered the Album field in any way it would proceed. Other tags can be kept the same.
If you do have mono content, it is trivial to use the dBpoweramp "Channel Mapper" DSP to remove one channel during the conversion from lossless to AAC. The nice thing is, I encode with Nero AAC quality 0.65 (~250 kbps VBR) and this will reduce the file size significantly. There is no real advantage to keeping both channels, since you're doing a lossy conversion anyway. Sometimes the encoders (even very good ones) don't see the file as being mono, due to different artifacts and noise in the left and right channels. Or perhaps the mono tape was transfered with a stereo tape deck, etc. Try it yourself and see if it makes a difference. Also, iTunes will report the file as "mono" when you do "Get Info." I keep the FLAC disc image/tracks in stereo so it will exactly match the CD, but only encode one channel to lossy. If you know the source is mono for sure then there is no possible advantage to keeping both channels of a lossy conversion. (If you're not sure if the source is mono, use your favorite DAW, e.g. Audacity, to invert the phase of one channel before combining left and right. Once you do that, if all that is left is very low-level noise or other artifacts, then you know it is safe to encode as mono.)
IF YOU CARE ABOUT MASTERING
It is also worth noting that if you care about what mastering you have in your iTunes library, there is no other way I know of to guarantee you have the correct version in your iCloud library except to upload it. I found this out the hard way: I had a retail CD version of Paul McCartney's "RAM" album that was recently remastered. I put the CD in, added to my library, and iTunes Match quickly returned with "Matched" for all tracks. Some time later I was listening with headphones and noticed that some tracks had hardly any hiss at all, whereas others had a good amount of it. Since "RAM" is a rather hissy album, I investigated it against the CD and finally found that many of the tracks were being matched to other versions of the song (either from the earlier CD version or compilations with different mastering). So most of the tracks were hit with heavy noise reduction for the iCloud version. I had to follow this upload procedure to be sure that I got the right version. Purchasing the item(s) from the iTunes store would work also, but I had already paid $100 for the deluxe box set. This same problem occured with the Bob Dylan mono box. I was surprised to find that iTunes actually matched my mono versions to mono versions, and continued listening until one day the stereo version played on a certain track instead of the mono. So, even if the iTunes store has the mix/mastering that you are wanting to add to iCloud, the only sure way is to upload it (or purchase it from iTunes in the first place.) If given the choice going forward I would choose the latter, since I am not hung up on physical media and cannot tell a 256K iTunes store encode apart from a FLAC file in a double blind test (almost nobody can).
This has been bothering me for months. I'm really happy to be able to play my correct files on all my devices! For those of us who have unique versions or masterings of albums we prefer, this should be a workaround until Apple decides to give us a "force upload" option. I have tested this on Windows 7 primarily. Should work on any OS.
Hope everyone finds this useful!
Nick

I wanted to first thank you for this, as this is the only workaround literature that seems to be floating around out there. With that said, I know it is a big ask, but is there any way that you could create a video showing step by step how to do what you do? I have several tracks that are stuck in waiting mode, and if left in itunes, will never upload or match...they only cause the upload process to hang up and restart. I've tried leaving it for days...I've tried converting the files, signing in and out of itunes (and itunes match), updating itunes match, and I tried your technique...unfortunately to no avail. Perhaps I didn't do your technique correctly. I used audacity to reverse the audio.
ANY help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks

How do I consolidate all this at this point: Icloud Drive, Itunes Match, Local iTunes Library, Local iPhoto, Local Aperture, Photo stream, Familly sharing, sharing on iOS, music sharing on iOS, music sharing on mac etc.

I am trying to grasp all the possibilities for consolidating my stuff and my family's stuff from multiple devices and multiple accounts from multiple sources but I cant.
I have been reading many instructions and FAQ regarding iCloud Drive, iCloud Sharing, iTunes Match, Familly Sharing, file size limitations on iCloud Drive, app sharing on iOS, Backup vs Sync vs cloud sharing, storing iWork documents on iCloud drive, storing iTunes library on iCloud Drive, storing iPhoto library on iCloud Drive, storing Aperture library on the iCloud, the Photos app on iOS with iCloud and many others.... but I feel like I need a systems admin course from apple to manage all of it.
This is what I and my family currently have:
Hardware: Multiple iPhones, Multiple Macs, Apple TV (with hard drive), Multiple iPads.
Operating systems: Everything is upgraded to the latest iOS and Yosemite.
Libraries:
1) Multiple iTunes Libraries locally stored on Macs and IPhones with lossless CD music and iTunes purchased music. What I want to do:
a) Have a main family shared iTunes library across ALL devices that contains our Lossless music and purchased music. so that it can be played across ALL devices. With the ability to have private music for each individual (Not shared).
b) Purchase new music and add it to the family share or purchase music and make it private (Not shared).
2) Multiple iPhoto Libraries macs (With photo stream from iPhones) and ONE Aperture Library on my mac. What I want to do:
a) Have a main family shared photo library that every one can deposit to and view.
b) Store individual iPhoto libraries on iCloud Drive(s)? So that everyone can have their own library and edit it across THEIR devices.
c) Store and use my Aperture Library on iCloud Drive?
Other documents:
iWork files, PDFs etc. What I want to do:
a) Have a main family shared area (on iCloud Drive i suppose) where we can share documents.
b) Sync private documents across ALL individuals devices (Available locally and on iCloud).
c) Store private documents (One instance) on iCloud drive and make them available on ALL individuals devices.
d) Backup of local documents?
Apps:
iOS apps:
a) Share purchased apps?
b) Not share private apps.
Storage:
What do I purchase to accomplish the above:
a) iCloud storage for everyone?
b) iTunes Match for everyone?
c) All of the above?
Conclusion:
It would be great for Apple to explain all this with all the options in one concise document instead of hunting down individual documents and sections all over the place.
Thank you for your help.

Hey there!
You and I are data soulmates. I have been having this trouble for a while and have yet to get my head around it. Our problem is that we've cycled through multiple macs and the "home" or "host" for all the stuff that's now been moved or moving to the Cloud is very scattered. It drives me crazy... almost to the point where I'm thinking about starting a brand-new iCloud account and beginning from scratch.
If you have any experiences or recommendations you could share about your strategy, I would love to hear it.

ITunes match is keeping my phone from syncing.

So I've been stumped the past couple days as to why my phone would not sync.
It would get stuck at the "Waiting for sync to start"
Then I would get some error about how the Sync couldn't start.
So I restore my phone. Set up as new phone hoping this would fix the problem.
It did, restoring and setting up as new phone allowed me to sync my phone.
So I sync a couple of my apps to my phone and decide to use my phone for a while.
Turn on iTunes match on my phone so I can hear some of my music.
Then I decide to sync more apps to my phone that I had forgotten earlier when I was Syncing my phone.
And no luck. Stuck back at "Waiting for sync to sart"
This has happened a couple times now, I've had to restore multiple times.
Everything is up to date, my iPhone is up to date, so is iTunes.
My phone syncs perfectly fine until I turn iTunes match on via my iPhone.
THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING.
Anyone have a solution?
Or having the same problem?

Same deal, seemingly. iPhone 4S 64GB, Lion, iTunes 10.5.3, iTunes Match On (i.e., all the latest, but nothing beta).
What I've just found strong evidence of is a connection between this "waiting for sync to start" issue and the whole "loads of empty playlists" issue. Whether this ties in to the faux-over-capacity issue I don't know, but I've got that bug too.
Here's the lowdown:
Noticed my capacity / over-capacity fluctuating awhile ago, but it always seemed to sort itself out. It still goes back and forth, but now I've noticed I just hang on "Waiting for sync to start." Actually, it's been doing that for a few weeks I think, but I wasn't paying close attention since all I cared about syncing during that period was getting music onto the phone, which iTunes Match managed to handle in its own ham-fisted, not-ready-for-prime-time way.
Just a minute ago, though, I looked at the iPhone's "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync" info page (wi-fi sync is off; iCloud sync has been long on, and seems to do its thing nicely in the background; last time 4am this morning). Guess what? Last direct iPhone to iTunes sync was on 20 January 2012. And guess what that corresponds to? It was the last sync before I created a playlist on the iPhone that subsequently spawned 32,000 blank playlists of the same name (I created the problem playlist whilst staying at a hotel with no Wi-Fi; a lack/breach in solid internet connection has been linked to the cause of this problem, according to other forums).
Side note: I used a script someone published to delete all these blank playlists. It took about a day to do it. And it worked, insofar as all the blank lists disappeared from the Mac version of iTunes (they stayed on the iPhone, alas, or some did -- it's impossible to gauge the quantity of them). Alas, about 2,000 of them re-appeared this morning on the Mac iTunes, but running the script deleted them within 30 seconds; they're still on the phone as far as I can tell.
Anyway, I might wait for iOS 5.1 or go ahead and RESET ALL SETTINGS (as was suggested on another thread) and restore from iCloud backup (possibly chancing it by going with iOS 5.1 beta 3 while I'm at it). I've never tried restoring from iCloud before, but imagine it "might be some time" as the Brits facetiously say, especially here in Outer Mongolia with good but not brilliant internet speeds.
