It just works. You just need to go through a 7 step process to make it work every time
I found a fix on the Knowledge Base that seems to work. The issue is the iTunes Store Cache. After doing this, I was able to upload some mixes I was working on (so obviously they are not on the iTunes Store)
- Turn off Match
- Open Preferences > Advanced > Reset iTunes Store Cache
- Relaunch iTunes and Turn Match On.
boom.
Yep - just switched myself about a month ago. I pay for All Access and uploaded whatever wasn't available - about 5000 tracks right now. It's perfect. If you're using Spotify, Rdio, Beats, or whatever, I can't see why you wouldn't switch to Google Music All Access. I have everything I need in one place. No more jumping from app to app to get all of my music.TIme for people to switch to Google Music
This problem is older than June 10th...I have had issues with this for a while.
When iTunes Match works as it is supposed to it is amazing. However, track upload issues, album artwork missing, and duplicates have bugged the service from the outset.

While I agree Match is crap, I disagree on why. I haven't had any issues where it "messes with albums" (can you be more specific?), replaces info, or deletes tracks. I just find that after all this time, it still mismatches songs (a remastered version of a song is matched with a non-remastered version, in the middle of an album that otherwise matched perfectly) or has errors in trying to match. These errors are not something that just started, they've been going on for pretty much the entire time Match has existed. It's just a flawed system and Apple doesn't seem real concerned about fixing it. Very disappointing. This is my last year with Match. When the subscription comes due in November, I'm done.Match is utter crap
It messes with albums, replaces info screws things up, deletes tracks. I HATE it.
Google play music is free and superior as a music collection backup service.
