Apple Aiming to Increase Music Library Matching Limit to 100,000 Tracks 'Before the End of the Year'

But if a user has stored artists name as "Last, First" in metadata that should be preserved.

Is match changing names stored like that? I wasn't aware of that.

I don't know, I will check.

One thing is clear though. ITunes Match and the matching function of AM aren't the same. I'm using the latter. My music that has been found to already be in the AM catalog become indistinguishable from those tracks in my library.

From what I know Match uses sonic footprint, then removes the expletives. AM matching only uses the song title, then matches it with whatever is nearest the AM library, ignoring additions like (live), (demo) and album titles. Well done Mr Cue.

Has Apple Music improved since launch? It completely ruined my library when trialed on first release.
