Quickly add music without iTunes Match

Ok. I have iTunes Match working perfectly and I love it, except for one thing.
I import a large music file... it's a 1-hour megamix (about 60mb) and I want to immediately get it on my iPhone and head out the door for a workout.
But I have to wait til iTunes uploads the file to iCloud which can take over 15minutes. Then I've got to download it on my iPhone from the cloud.
Is there way I can bypass this and simply drag and drop my music onto my iPhone?
Thanks in advance.

Not at this time. With iTunes Match enabled direct syncing via USB or Wi Fi is disabled.

That's not possible.

How can I get my (vinyl) record music into iTunes Match?

I have a rather large collection of music on CDs, Tapes, and records.
Now that iTunes Match exists I would like to include all of my music into my iTunes library.
There is no easy way (that I know of) to load anything except CDs into iTunes. So for the rest of the library one must either buy all the music again or buy equipment to play the music one time and convert it to a newer format.
My CD collection is mostly loaded and since 99.999% (virtually all) of that music is already in iTunes Match it is not uploaded to iTunes again, but it quickly becomes available to play on all my iTunes Authorized Devices.
With the exception of that 1 in ten thousand songs that I may have that iTunes does not have in the Match library there is no reason to import the music at all - other than to prove I have the actual CD's. (In any case I suppose I could have borrowed them for that anyway.)
However for CDs at least they can be imported - but for tapes and records I know of no direct way.
With something state-of-the-art like iTunes Match and my PC(s), iPhone(s) and iPad, why use stone-age-like means to prove ownership of outside-of-iTunes music?
Why not provide some other information to identify albums owned and have them available in iTunes Match without the 99.999% useless step of loading them?
In fact for most tape music it is no longer playable (to convert) as the rollers in the tape devices deteriorate and they no longer play.
Vinyl records play just fine, just not easily into a PC without purchase of expensive equipment that would be used only for the one-time load (which is really just for proof-of-ownership).
What a ridiculous waste of time, energy and funds for that 1 in 10,000 songs that may not yet exist in the iTunes Match library. Okay, as the music gets older it may even be 2 in 10,000 - but I doubt it.
I remember that each album (and 45 rpm single) has identifying information scratched into it (around the inside of the innermost track) - can that (or something else) suffice as proof of ownership to get the music into iTunes Match?
Please respond with ideas to quickly and easily get already-owned vinyl record music into an iTunes Match library.
I personally do not care if 1 (or 2) out of 10,000 of my songs gets lost because it is not in the iTunes Match library - couldn't be that good in that case anyway.
Thanks!!

I too have not figured out how to convert my vinyl collection to iTunes match. Here is what I have tried:
I record my vinyl records onto CD using a Sony RCD-W500C which makes a very high quality recording. I make sure the song lengths are the same as those from the same album at the iTunes store.
Then I import the CD into my iTunes music library. I have to enter the names of the tracks manually because Gracenote cannot identify the names of the songs. I do this while the music is in my iTunes music library and the CD has been ejected from my PC.
Then I try to get the iTunes Match, but it never works. I do, however, get the artwork from iTunes. iTunes then uploads my songs into the iCloud. When I download them back onto my PC and iPhone 4s, I get the identicle recording that I imported onto iTunes. I know this because I can hear the static and crackling of the vinyl. I don't necessarily mind that noise, but I figured if I paid for the iTunes Match I should get the AAC 256 bps music. After all it doesn't cost iTunes anything to give it to me. And there's no way I'm going to purchase all my vinyl records again. I have about 500 albums.
I do buy all my new music from iTunes because I think it is the best system available. I just think it could be so much better if they would let me download the highest quality recording of the music I own from them.
I have also tried the Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio which records my vinyl records into a music file on my PC. But that doesn't get the match either.
THERE HAS TO BE SOMEBODY OUT THERE THAT CAN TELL US WHAT ITUNES MATCH LOOKS AT IN OUR MUSIC UPLOADS THAT DETERMINES WHETHER THEY GIVE US THE MATCH!!!!!!
When you download a CD, there is some information embedded in the CD that iTunes matches. I don't believe there is any information embeded in the vinyl albums, but when I burn them onto a CD-maybe I could add the info onto the CD before trying to match it if I just knew what they looked for.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me on this.

Can't add music to iTunes 10.6.3

Hi there,
I am running iTunes 10.6.3 on my OSX 10.5.8 . All of a sudden (well, maybe I just noticed it, but definitely within the last three weeks) - can't remember if I updated in that time period), I am unable to add music to iTunes. I can't drag and drop, can't do file --> add music to library, nothing. If I get music by converting youtube to mp3, THAT opens in iTunes, but I've just downloaded an entire album and don't really want to go converting fifteen+ songs one by one.
I don't have Cloud, don't have match.... can anyone help me?

Hold down the option key while starting iTunes, then select library. Your library is stored in your Home > Music > iTunes > iTunes Library.itl file
iTunes can be picky about mp3 formatting and not all mp3s files are created the same.

HT204406 My HDD crashed which held all of my music. Can I recover the music from iTunes Match and download it back to a new HDD?

My HDD crashed and it contained all of the music from which iTunes and iMatch pulled files from. Is there a way to recover the music from iTunes Match and download it back to my new HDD?

My computer HDD did not crash only my external drive with the music files. I have not had to reinstall iTunes software. The iTunes libarary is still complete and shows the complete list of music. I have also ran Update iTunes Match and all of the music is on the cloud.
I cannot play the music from iTunes that is on the cloud, however the music I purchased from iTunes did download and it will plan from my computer.
The matched or uploaded music is what will not download and I can't find a command that allows me to download from Match.
Sorry if I'm not being very clear, however I do really appreciate your help and suggestions.

When i try to add music from itunes to my ipod, Itune tells me the music on my ipod came from a differnt libray and wants to erase my whole ipod. i just loaded my ipod two days ago. i don't want to replace everything every time i want to add two to songs. My MacBook Pro is the only autherized computer.

To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place and you will be able to change your settings.

Apple TV 3 not playing music from iTunes Match.

Hi Peeps,
I am unable to access music on iTunes Match on ATV 3. However Match works fine on my Windows based PC and my iPhone 5.
I can see all albums and artwork on ATV 3 but when I select to play I get "An error occurred loading this content". Netflix and other app previews etc work fine.
The software is up to date and I have tried restoring and re-booting with no success.
Can anyone help???

Hi Winston,
Thanks for getting back to me my problem is playinhg music from ATV3
I have tried restarting the router but no change.
However the ATV3 has the artist, cover artwork etc. but does not seem to be able to play (stream) and I still get the error message.
My iphone and PC currently play music from Match on the same network as the ATV3. I am even able to airplay music from laptop to ATV3 but not directly from ATV3.
So thanks for your help but this has not fixed the problem. I have never had these problems before.

Sound stops while playing music with iTunes Match

While playing music from iTunes Match, the sound stops. The music continues to play but there is no sound. If I double click the song, the sound will start again. But after that song is finished and it advances to the next song. The sound will stop again and I have to double click the song again. Other sounds on my MB-Air will still work. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks

It happens to me too. I listen the most on my iPhone. Song is playing, but no sound. Sometimes I have to close the app and relaunch to recover. Very annoying.

How can I edit or delete music from itunes match?

How can I edit or delete music from itunes match?

Hi,
If you activate match on your new laptop, you will have access to all music that you matched or uploaded. You have the option to retain the music by downloading to your computer. If you delete music, it will delete from cloud.

You can download individual tracks and delete music with itunes match on

You can delete music with itunes match on:
settings - general - use - music - all music
in the right corner above you can click on edit and choose delete.
You can also download individual tracks:
click on the "cloud download" icon in an album. It displays the icons to start downloading. You can tap on stop of the songs you don't want to download and then those songs won't be downloaded.

unfortunately the delete method deletes all the music you downloaded, not possible to delete individual tracks

HT201323 Delete all music in iTunes Match except Purchased items

How can I delete all of my uploaded music in iTunes Match (cloud) EXCEPT for my iTunes purchased music?

HI
Make a smart playlist based on iCloud status not purchased. Select all tracks in list (cmd + A) then delete tracks (option + delete). As tracks have already been deleted from your hard drive, you will not get message to keep or move files to trash but you will get message telling you that the tracks will be moved from the cloud and will no longer be available in the cloud.
Doing this will clear iTunes match. Do you have a back up of your music on an external drive?
