Oh by the way if you decide to cancel iTunes Match make sure you download copies of all you music and have a back-up because once you cancel your iCloud Music vanishes!
This happened to me last November, and I did NOT cancel my sub. So, always keep some type of back up!
On my subscription renewal day, all 3000+ song disappeared from every device, with all my playlists, play counts, and with no explanation why. At first, they said it might be because of a problem with my payment for the renewed sub, which they checked and said was fine. Then they said it was because of my Apple Music subscription, which I did not have one. Finally they told me, after my ticket was moved to a higher tech support, that I never ever had any songs uploaded to my iTunes Match. Which is silly, because I have been using it since the month it came out.
Luckily, I had a back up of most of the songs, but all my play counts, playlists and other data is gone forever.
All the doom and gloom (which always happens when Apple makes these type changes) Listen up folks Apple has 200 billion dollars in cash, and they are still turning a pretty huge profit each quarter so they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
I am far from the doom and gloom crowd. But, the fact that they are on top of the world now, sitting on $200 billion cash, does not guarantee they will be safe.
Ask companies like Kodak in the 90's and MS in 2000 if they were going to be where they are today, doubt too many people would have predicted it.
I am a long time hardcore Apple fan, and have loved them for many years, but if some of the crappy things (not just this) that Apple has been doing lately can make me question my continued support of Apple, I am sure the more casual user will turn their back to them so much easier.
