Hi,
I'm finding that iTunes match is a real pain in the ass when it comes to handling multiple iTunes store IDs.
I have my itunes authorised with several store IDs:
- My partner's
- My spanish ID
- My US id
- My UK id
I've lived in the US, Spain and now the UK, so out of all apps I own, some come from the US account, most from the spanish account and the most recent from the UK account - since I now live in England.
When there are app updates, it's a pain to switch between accounts, but it's ok. Now apple has made this sooo much more annoying.
I subscribed to iTunes match using my UK account.
NOW, when I switch accounts on itunes so I can download updates from my other accounts, iTunes match turns itself off. When I log into my UK account back, I have to manually turn iTunes match on, select "Add new computer" and wait for iTunes match to finish.
When I switch accounts on my iphone, itunes match also turns itself off, and when I get my UK account back, I need to manually turn Match back on, then it deletes the local library and downloads the itunes match library all over again. In this case it's much WORSE because it not only deletes the library file, but the cached music, so you start all over again with NO music.
This is a real pain and annoyance.
the Itunes Match account should be independent, just like in the iphone. You can have different apple ID's for imessage, facetime, icloud countacts, find my iphone, and itunes store.. and they are all independent from each other.
----------
Home sharing is also independent form the iTunes Store account used.
Itunes Match should be an independent service within iTunes or iPhone/Pod/Pad that needs to be enabled independently of the store ID.
