i just got in.

hint: 'command-r' allows your to refresh the sign up page so you don't have to keep closing and reopening iTunes to get the Subscribe button back.

What if you have 500 vinyl albums. Do you first have to transfer them to cassette, digitize those, then submit the files for iTunes Match, or is there a better way to respect the licenses you already own in physical form?

Rocketman

If you have 500 vinyl records, you get an amazing record player, amp, and speakers, and sit down and listen to some good quality music, and consider yourself lucky for not having to deal with crappy CD quality albums.

I got in! :D

I'm really curious how this works, I'm thinking that I can have all my lossless tracks on my Mac, and then have the 256 kbs versions on my iPhone through iCloud without me having to make two versions of each song and what not. I think this is great. $25 a year doesn't sound too bad either. Let's see if that's how it works though.

I had been refreshing for around 4 hours (Not consistently). I don't know if it helped, but I had signed into the iCloud.com page about 5 minutes before it finally let me in.

so how are you dudes getting into the match signup process? Just continually refreshing or is there some trick? Just wondering if stuff is closed or if I should keep trying.

I just opened up iTunes, clicked the Sign Up button, entered my password and that's it. It didn't even tell me anything about it being closed or an error. Nothing, I guess I was lucky.

Subscribed but iTunes keeps crashing when it's on step 2. Anyone else have this happening. :(

I went to purchase, redeem code, entered successfully but still asked for valid credit card on file. Which i don't have.

How did others pay by gift card? Is there a way round it?
