![]() ![]() ![]() With iTunes Match surviving all these years, even with Apple Music available, it seems like the service might come to an end rather sooner than later.Īlthough it’s more expensive to keep an Apple Music subscription rather than just an iTunes Match one, users that subscribe to Match can’t take advantage of Lossless audio quality or even Dolby Atmos with Spatial Audio. On Apple’s system status page, all of its services are operating normally, and although users have faced multiple problems with iCloud recently, Apple doesn’t seem to think iTunes Match has been impacted.Īccording to some users, this issue started happening with macOS Big Sur 11.5, even though it appears it’s not limited by this version of macOS. iTunes keeps getting stuck at ‘matching your music with songs in the iTunes store.'” Seems this has been broken for a week now,” says a Reddit user.Īnother Reddit user said: “Upgraded iTunes earlier this week, and I am experiencing the same issue. You can download all your files in the cloud but if you upload more, they will not respond. “ Seems Apple broke iTunes Match after releasing Apple Music 3.6. The problem is, although many people migrated to Apple Music, which can do the same, other users preferred to pay $24.99 a year to remain uploading their own music library with iCloud, but now users are reporting an array of problems with iTunes Match.Īs seen in several Apple Support Forums and Reddit (via MacRumors), users have reported that the service has practically stopped working. Then you can access your music library on all of your devices that have Sync Library turned on. The service uploads your music library from the Music app on your Mac or iTunes for Windows on your PC. Alternatively, control-click or right-click on the column toolbar.Before Apple Music, there was iTunes Match. Select the View menu, then click on Show View Options.Open the iTunes app and select My Music from the dropdown bar, then click on Songs in the sidebar.(Unfortunately, there's no way to check the status of your iPhone or iPad's tracks beyond whether they've been locally downloaded to your device - but they'll be the same as what's listed on your Mac.) Now that we've covered what each of the iCloud Music Library statuses mean, let's go over how to find them on your Mac. How to check the iCloud Status of your Mac's songs Removed and ineligible tracks won't sync via iCloud Music Library to your other devices, unless it's an object tied to an iTunes purchase, like an Extras PDF booklet if that's the case, you'll be able to download that object to each of your other devices. If the track or object (like an iTunes Extras PDF) is ineligible for being uploaded to iCloud Music Library, you'll see a cloud icon with a slash across it.If the track has been removed from iCloud Music Library but still exists locally on your Mac, you'll see a cloud icon with an x inside it.(You can download that track by clicking on the cloud icon, or by selecting multiple songs and control-clicking on them, then selecting Make Available Offline.) If the track is stored in iCloud and streamable or re-downloadable, you'll see a cloud icon with a downward arrow.If the track is stored locally on your Mac, you should see no icon under the iCloud Download column.If you use iCloud Music Library (either via Apple Music or iTunes Match) and have the iCloud Download indicator enabled, you'll be able to see what tracks are stored locally on your Mac, what tracks are stored in iCloud Music Library, and which have been removed or are ineligible. If you cancel Apple Music or iTunes Match, any of these files you've downloaded are yours to keep, though you'll lose the ability to stream them on other devices. You can use Matched files to upgrade poor-quality MP3s you may have from CD rips on your original device, or to simply stream your music to all your other devices. If you're worried about iTunes incorrectly matching these songs, make sure you have a full backup of your music files before enabling iCloud. ITunes Match and Apple Music use audio fingerprinting and metadata to "match" tracks from the iTunes Store to your library, but be aware: The iTunes Store catalog's matching algorithm isn't perfect, especially when it comes to live tracks and other rare songs, and there's, unfortunately, no way to "force upload" a song to iCloud. This status means that Apple has scanned and matched the track in your Mac's library with a song in its iTunes Store catalog when you re-download it on any other device (up to 10) - or delete and re-download the track on your Mac - you'll get that iTunes track, in 256kbps Matched DRM-free AAC (m4a) format. You use iCloud Music Library (via Apple Music or the stand-alone iTunes Match service). ![]()
