Title: iTunes Match
Post by: HoyaSaxa03 on August 08, 2012, 02:54:58 pm
anyone use iTunes Match?  like it?  especially interested in hearing from people who have acquired most of their digital music collection outside of the iTunes store.

I think Google already does this for free.

I'm really hoping they bump up to 250,000 songs to match Amazon. The song limit is what's been holding me back from using it (have to keep two itunes libraries to make it work if you have more than 25,000 songs currently).

I'm hoping Google Play does the same.  Though you don't need to keep two libraries, it's not easy to select (and even harder to remember) which 20k songs I want in the cloud.

Library size is the issue.  I had 50,000 songs and I'm in the process of pruning to under 25,000.

It's actually very cathartic to delete hundreds of robert pollard side project MP3s that I'll never listen to.  Also helps me get ready for a switch to less storage with SSD.

First couple of days with Match has been great.  If your files exist on Computer 1, and you edit metadata (comment field, rating, etc.) on the matched cloud file on Computer 2, I assume everything will sync and Match will update the metadata on the physical files on Computer 1.  Has this been everyone's experience?
