Apple Releases iTunes 10.5.2 with iTunes Match and Audio Distortion Fixes

Same here. 16.6MB, OSX 10.7.2. Not sure where everyone is getting the 100MB total from.
Match still doesn't see everything for me. I keep testing Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours", which is available on iTunes...the full album.
I've ripped and re-ripped my CD i don't know how many times in different formats and bitrates. But Match refuses to see all the tracks on the album. Of the 11 tracks, Match finds 6 of them, and uploads the 5 remaining. I can't get match to recognize the 5 remaining tracks and give me back the Matched version.
About half of my library is like that...and about 95% of my entire library is available on iTunes, so Match should be seeing them all. I was hoping it would have gotten better about this, but so far it's the same old thing. If I wanted to upload all of these tracks, I would have just gone to Amazon or Google.

I totally agree with you. My entire library is filled with albums where it missings 2 to 3 of the tracks. Super annoying. Plus you can't do a match check one track at a time.
iTunes Match vs non-Match device bug FIXED
Well, they fixed the bug I reported, at least! I have the "Convert higher bit-rate songs to 128kbps AAC" option checked in iTunes so my ~80GB of music fits easily on my 64GB iPhone (obviously lower quality, but when I'm listening to music on my phone I'm not audiophiling it). I also have iTunes Match turned on on my computer, so I can sync up on a per-track basis on my iPods and other computers quickly and easily.
Before, when I plugged my iPhone in iTunes would tell me that there was too much music being synced to the device; it would take the original 160-320kbps bitrate songs' sizes into the calculation. It would still sync everything, so I think it was just a display bug.
In any case, that's fixed. Now the little thermometer gauge correctly claims I have 37.9GB of music on my iPhone, and ~80GB of music that is being synced over.

How about they fix...
the metadata cataclysm that goes on when an iOS device tries to home share video - especially TV Shows - with a computer? Do I really have 19 seasons of Arrested Development, iPad? Really? Because I seem to remember it being cancelled after 3.

Apple provides a fully compiled App package. This saves having to modify an existing App package and introduce the potential for error (and needing "combo" and "delta" updates for iTunes
As has been stated above iTunes for Mac is a Universal App. This means it runs on both PowerPC and Intel Macs. It also has a 64 bit runtime for capable Intel Macs. Effectively it is compiled for three different platforms. (PPC, x86, x86_64)
Whilst I agree iTunes is very bloated and really needs rewriting in Cocoa (it uses Carbon, a legacy API), I do not have the speed issues or copying issues you're complaining about. Perhaps if you provided Apple some feedback instead of whining on a forum they ignore, they may even help you.
I'll even provide you the correct link http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
EDIT: it seems Apple have determined when a delta update is suitable, as indicated by the small download on Software Update.

If you get it from Apple.com/iTunes then it'll be 100MB+ because it's a Universal app and the full download as they're assuming you don't have it.
If you get it from Software Update on Lion it's the delta and only 16.6MB.
If you get it from Software Update on Leopard (PPC) it's 79.0MB. I would assume that's the full PPC version.
While that's certainly better I still don't understand why it's not in the App Store yet.

To me, the opposite problem is far worse. I have songs that are incorrectly matched to a different version of the same song. I'd like to be able to force those to upload instead of putting up with a different version of the song than the one I actually want.
Is downloading a ~ 100 mb file really that much of an issue for anybody with broadband? How long does that take? Five to ten minutes on a painfully slow connection. A couple minutes on a fast one.
I'm with you. I much prefer the Mac approach, rather than the Windows version which fills your Windows folder with (quite literally) hundreds of thousands of cryptically-named files, most of which you have no idea what they do.
If you go to the iTunes page, that's what you get: the full installation. You should find the incremental update in Software Update or on the web at the Support Section.
Those who couldn't wait, got the large size file. So much nagging and complaining for no good reason; only to spread negativity.

No match
Interesting issue. I ripped several Beatle's CD's (their 27 number 1's for example) where some match and others are uploaded. Obviously "match" has some hole in it.
