See this specific thread for a discussion on The Beatles mono boxed set: Re: The Beatles in Mono - 48 of 185 mono songs Matched to stereo versions. And this is a list of several threads discussing the boxed set:

As for the Rolling Stones... where did you download the MP3 files from and what bit-rate are they? Many times when the iTM process in iTunes keeps looping back to step 1 it is because it is trying to match some particular tracks. My advice is to add the tracks a few a time; say, one album at a time and let iTM work on those and complete before you add another album. Having the process try to work on dozens or even hundreds of tracks when it is looping like that can be frustrating.

Cannot see BOTH synched library AND iTunes Match library at the same time
I ran iTunes Match on my library of MP3 files and hit the maximum allowed 25,000 song limit in my paid iTunes Match account. Then I created a new version of my local/PC iTunes library with those 25,000 MP3 songs removed, and synchronized it with my iPhone 4s running IOS7 and iTunes Match turned OFF. So far so good.
So now I theoretically have no duplication between my 25,000 song iTunes Match library and my local iTunes library that resides on my PC.
But even though I have the "Show All Music" setting on the phone turned on, the iTunes Match songs don't appear on my iPhone until I also turn the iTunes Match setting on. But as soon as I do that, all of the songs I synched from my local iTunes library on my PC completely disappear- having been completely replaced by my iTunes Match library. If I then turn the iTunes Match setting off again (while still leaving "Show All Music on"), the iTunes Match songs also disappear, leaving my iPhone music library completely empty. Have I misunderstood the meaning of the "Show All Music" setting, or is something malfunctioning?
My question is: How can I make ALL of my songs (both the ones I have previously captured in ITunes Match AND the ones I synched with my PC via iTunes) appear on my iPhone at the same time? This scenario seemed to be working just fine under IOS6 on the same iPhone.I had a somewhat similar experience. When I enabled paid iTunes Match on my iPhone 5, iOS7, all of my locally-stored songs on the iPhone disappeared and remained gone even after I disabled iTunes Match on the iPhone.
A chat session with Apple support revealed that iTunes Match will in fact supersede any synched content on the iPhone. The suggestion from Apple support was to download on the phone all the previously-synched content via iTunes Match wireless connection. Of course, that would take hours if not days. And that crazy workaround won't help you because you want songs other than what you have in the Cloud.
It appears that various members of this forum have not had this same experience. I'm not sure what's going on here. Usually with Apple's tight control of hardware and software these anomalies are avoided.
And I didn't really need iTunes Match except I wanted commercial-free iTunes Radio (which I think is great, by the way). At least for now, commercial-free radio (with a paid subscription) can be achieved only by enabling all of the iTunes Match features. I'm not sure why Apple requires this bundling unless its part of a general push to a streaming model for everything (more revenue opportunities) as opposed to supporting local storage. -
Dark Side of the Moon (Breathe) and iTunes Match
I recently downloaded the 2011 remastering of Dark Side of the Moon from Amazon. When I run it through iTunes Match though, I get a discrepancy on track 2 (Breathe) between the original mp3 and the matched version. The track length is 2:50 on the mp3 and 2:49 on the matched version. Of course, this wouldn’t normally be a problem, except on albums like DSOTM where the missing second produces a noticeable blip as track 2 goes into track 3 – all the transitions between the other matched files are seamless and as they should be. If I play the original mp3 from my computer as part of the matched album (i.e. one mp3 file amongst the other 9 matched AAC files) there’s no problem at all.
The version for sale in the iTunes store puts the length at 2:49, so my question is: does anyone who has bought the album directly from the store have the same issue? My guess is that the problem only exists with the version which is not ‘Mastered for iTunes’ – i.e. the version that you get if you subscribe to iTunes Match, otherwise I’m sure that somebody would have posted about this before.Interesting – thanks for that, Jim.
My Amazon version is also 2:49.586, but the iTunes Match version is 2:48.820 – which is enough to cause a blip. A little more research reveals that there are, infact, two versions of the album for sale in the iTunes store, both purporting to be the 2011 remaster: one is ‘Mastered for iTunes’ the other not. Interestingly, some of the reviews warn specifically about this problem: that some of the tracks have been carelessly edited.
So, anyway – based on your comments, I decided to bite the bullet and buy the ‘Mastered for iTunes’ version. There is no problem – as you say the track is 2:49.534 and the transition between tracks, seamless.
So, you would have thought, problem solved.
You would have thought…
Clearly though, iTunes Match isn’t able to discern that it is the ‘Mastered for iTunes’ version which I now own, because the version that gets delivered via my apple TV or iPad is still the non-MfiT version. Likewise, if I delete the matched MfiT version from my computer and re-download, I get the non-MfiT version.
I’m going to send a copy of this thread to apple support and ask that they look into it.
By the way, your original copy of DSOTM was from a previous mastering. Prior to 2011 ‘Speak to Me/Breathe’ was mastered as a single track. My CD copy of the album is the same. -
ITunes Apple ID and iCloud Apple ID and iTunes Match
I have a family Apple ID associated with my iMac and iPad for iTunes and Apps. I have two new iPhone 5s. Each iPhone has been setup to have a separate Apple ID for email (iCloud) and to use the family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps. Can I initiate iTunes Match from my iMac and use iTunes Match on all devices especially since the iPhones have two Apple IDs "loaded" ?
Hi,
If you are using the same ID for Itunes purchases, APPs and Itunes match, you should be OK. Separate ID can be use for iCloud which is not the same as iMatch.

I have icloud and itunes match and most of my songs have been uploaded to the cloud. Some songs still have the "waiting" icon next to them and when I turn itunes match on they neither upload nor are they determined ineligible. My computer will literally spin its wheels for hours trying to upload the same song. Additionally, I uploaded an audiobook disc on my computer and 3 of the 11 tracks are still waiting to be uploaded???
The exclamation mark happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
If the missing files just can't be found then, assuming you are in region where you are permitted multiple downloads of your audio purchases, delete the current enties and download again from your purchased history.

New Family Sharing and iTunes Match
Hello to all. With the release of iOS8 and the Beta of Yosemite, I have decided to leverage the new family sharing of the iTunes accounts. The set up works fine and I have gotten it working, just wondering how to get iTunes match to work with it. So pre-iOS8 I had an account "A" that all my iTunes purchases and iTunes Match were done with and then my wife and I both have personal accounts "B" and "C" for iCloud. So basically when I set up a device I would use one of our iCloud accounts (B or C) and then A for iTunes. This allowed for us to both see our purchases and also have access to our music via iTunes Match.
Now that I have put in Family Sharing and we now sign in with our own accounts. The purchases of apps work and we can see each others purchases. But when I goto iTunes we are not able to see the music that is associated with our primary account and it is requiring us both to purchase iTunes Match.
So any help on how to get iTunes Match to work across account with Family Sharing.This has forced my family to go back to using one iTunes account. It is unfortunate because of all the features family sharing offers. My wife was excited about not having to compete for bookmarks when we are reading the same book, one little example.
be sure to leave feedback at https://www.apple.com/feedback/. I also sent some emails to the major apple blogs out there in hopes that they write about it. I assume the more negative attention the better chance there is a solution, not that this is deal breaking or anything, but still. -
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Control Panel > Network > Internet > iCloud.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes > iTunes Store.Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID. -
4th gen touch and iTunes Match no longer works
I have a 4th gen touch, and iTunes Match no longer works - I choose it in settings, and it just turns itself off a few seconds later - it worked before, and I had to restore the iPod, and it doesn't work any more.
Hi randy_m,
If you are having issues with your iPod touch turning off iTunes Match unexpectedly, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPod -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPod as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Photostream and Itune match are no longer working ?
I couldn''t acces the Photostream wile in the previous releases I had no issue with that.
So today I had some time and reinstalled my Apple TV 3, heart about some network problems and a reinstall should have solved the issues
However, after the reinstall, I could no longer acces the Itunes Store, not Photostream or Itunes Match
After a cold restart, I could acces the itunes store; Photostream still doesn''t work and Itunes Match starts to contact and tell me that i can take a view minutes to download, but after a couple of hours the Itunes Match songs are still not displayed
So in fact I have a worthless Apple TV 3 now, which cannot play my cloud music, the only working function is Airplay
I have to admit that was the main feature to buy the box for;
Anything for the moment or are we facing real bug nows ?
By the way, I have the Apple TV 3 connected via fixed ethernet using DHCP
via a 100Mb synchronous connection. Iphones, laptops, Ipad other devices are all working fine
and the ethernetlink on the ATV 3 is also checked.Disabling Fixed Ethernet, and only use Wifi solves the issue. Looks like a bug on fixed ethernet

I used a usb turntable to import old vinyl records into iTunes. Then with the cloud and iTunes match I put them on another Mac. The songs come up in the music list but they are greyed out. How do I get them recognized. The symbol states the songs were downloaded from iCloud. I would like to get them to play so that I can make a playlist, and burn a CD.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -

I have 2 apple tv's but my playlists only show up on one; can I get them to show up on both? I have home sharing turned on and itunes match.
If you are attempting to share to both at the same time, you can't.
Are you selecting the second AppleTV in home sharing options on the MBP. Are all devices signed in for Home Sharing with the same AppleID?

How do i play my iTunes music on my iPad using WiFi and iTunes match? I don't want to download my music to my iPad.
But that's what I don't want to do. I think I must have misunderstood what was possible with iTunes Match and the cloud. I had thought I would be able to play my music directly from the cloud using WiFi. I didn't think I would have to download it from the cloud to play it on my iPad. I store it in the cloud because I don't have enough storage space on my iPad -- I can't download all my music because I run out of storage space. If iTunes Match doesn't allow you to play the music FROM THE CLOUD, but instead only allows you to DOWNLOAD IT FROM THE CLOUD TO YOUR IPAD TO PLAY, then it's not serving the purpose I thought it would. What's the point of storing it in the cloud if you have to download it to play it?
The only way I could imagine it working for me is if it possible to only download particular albums or songs. Or does your whole library have to be downloaded? -
I am new to the Ipad, I just got the Ipad with retina display in and only have a 16gb memory. I wanted to use Icloud for my music and other items, but when I started using Icloud and Itunes match, my Ipad has up to 3 of the same song listed on the song list. and will repeat when I am listening to my music. I was wondering how I can get those multiple copies go away to just 1.

What's the difference, other than the 24.99, between Home Sharing (free) and iTunes Match (24.99)?
Home sharing allows you to share content between computers and devices on your wifi network - so if you have your library on your computer's iTunes and you want to access it on your iPad then both your computer and iPad have to be turned on, iTunes open on your computer, and both need to be connected to the same wifi network.
iTunes Match will upload your music library to the cloud (including music copied from CDs and from other sources) allowing you to accces it from your computer or iPad without requiring your main computer to be on - and if you have access to a network when not at home you can download or stream music from it. It's also acts as a second backup of your content (you should still maintain your own backup of your library).
iTunes Match, from http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ :
Once your music is in iCloud, you can play it from any of your devices. Just browse the complete list of all your music stored in the cloud and tap to play to it. You can store up to 25,000 songs in iCloud (more if songs are purchased from the iTunes Store), but only what you play or download is stored on your device. Tap the iCloud download button to download music from an artist, album, or playlist. So you have immediate access to a huge music library without having to worry about the storage space on your device.
But whether it's worth it only you will know. Personally I don't use it, I keep and maintain my own backup of my content and sync it to my devices so that I don't have to rely on being online to access what I might want to listen to,
