Why doesn't iTunes match work?

I just got iTunes match and it doesn't work! it uploads the songs that it can't match but it can't even match half of the songs. but thats not my main issue. the issue is the matched songs doesn't sync with the songs in iTunes as if i didn't buy the thing at all. it doesn't give me the artwork, the title (if the old one is incorrect) or any other information that should be changed. it doesn't formate it, to a better quality, as it should. Please keep in mind that these are for the matched songs. i even waited 2 days for it to finish uploading the unmatched songs thinking that it matches the songs when its done. but nothing. Please help, tell me what to do!

  • Why doesn't iTunes match update last played songs?

    Entire library is loaded onto my macbook. When I play a playlist from the cloud off of another device, the last date played is never updated. why?

    Hi,
    I suggest that you add the icloud status column to song view in your computer's iTunes library. To do this, go to menu > view > view options and tick appropriate box. This will tell you if the song has been matched, uploaded, purchased, ineligible, duplicate or waiting. If the tracks are showing as waiting try selecting update iTunes match.
    If they continue to show as waiting, try deleting them but do not move to trash. If you get the pop up asking if you wish to delete from cloud, tick delete from cloud. Now readd tracks and select update iTunes match.

  • Why doesn't iTunes match update?

    Some songs in my iTunes library never upload to the cloud. Instead of the cloud symbol with the arrow in iTunes, there's a dotted outline of a cloud, I guess indicating it hasn't been uploaded, and I can't play the songs on other devices (other than my Macbook). I thought if I waited long enough it would eventually upload, but one of the songs has been in the library for months and never gets uploaded.
    I did notice that the song is listed in my library when I search for it on my iPhone, but I can't play it.

  • Why doesn't iTunes Match doesn't show all of my songs?

    Some albums in my iTunes album don't show up at all, some show up, except a couple of songs off of it, and they're songs I've listened to with Match before. It just seems random and sporadic that the songs show up gray and can't play. (Correction: If I click on the songs in gray, they do play after downloading.)

    I figured it out kind of. Looks like iTunes on my laptop is doing weird things sorting my tracks. It is spltting up compilations and saying some of the songs on the album are by an unknown artist. I have re-organized my songs by the same artist and that seems to have worked but still some missing.
    I am still missing a lot of album artwork though.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Why doesn't this update work?

    Why doesn't this update work? Can't I sum up two select count(*) in such a subquery?
    Thanks
    update sales T
    set T.field2 = ((select count(*)
    from sales t
    where t.field1 = trunc(sysdate)) + (select count((*)
    from sales t2
    where t2.field2 is null));
    I get
    ERROR at line 4:
    ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
    with the * under the +
    In other words I want to run
    update sales set field = ((select count(*) ..... ) + (select count(*) ..... ))

    My problem is to undestand why I got a syntax error about parenthesis.Because you cannot perform arithmatic operation with a value coming from a subquery in a SET clause of UPDATE
    SQL> update emp

  • Why doesn't iTunes add protected MPEG-4 audio files to its music library?

    Why doesn't iTunes add protected MPEG-4 audio files to its music library?  I copied these files to my iMac from an old PC laptop that no longer has internet access.

    After downloading via iTunes, I move MP3 files from the default iTunes podcast folder to another folder (on an a external disk), I also change the name of the file and I change some MP3-tags.
    You download from the iTunes store, delete the podcast, mess with it, move it around, rename it, change the tags then try to add it back to iTunes?
    I want all my files in one index, the iTunes Music Library
    In iTunes, right click - get info, click the Options tab and set *Media Kind:* to Music.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The easiest thing to do would be to sign into your iTunes account on your computer, connect your phone and sync. iTunes should copy anything from your phone that isn't already in your library on the computer.
