I never used either. I just never heard anything good about MobileMe.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Raises iTunes Match and Apple Music Library Matching Limits to 100,000 Tracks

Well, it's supposed to have worked on anything, since they were probably using a shaazam-like algorithm. I'm pretty sure it matched a bunch of 64k mp3s from way back when.
You could see if the algorithm got better by option-deleting the track out of your music library and re-importing it to itunes. AFAIK that's the only way to get match to try again.
The most expensive phone costs $949...am I missing something?
Are you serious? A thousand or so tracks? That's about 100 albums. I'm pretty picky about my music, I love full albums, I listen to them over and over, and I typically learn to play most of them if the musicians are good. I could probably commit 100 albums to memory just to replay them myself...and I once had 4,000 albums before moving to MP3's in the early 2000's. I'm put off by those who listen to crappy music and lots of it, constantly listening to only new things because virtually none of it is worth hearing twice.
However, your statement is just flat out ignorant.
It's the principal. Surely you aren't too ignorant to realize why people have a problem with Apple offering 5GB for a base iCloud storage these days.
I don't get it either. And Apple is supposed to be the easy-to-use/understand one…
There is an updated joke about the man who went into a Rolls-Royce showroom and after agreeing on a price for a new car, the man asks about the cost of filling the tank.
The salesman sighs and says, 'Sir, if you worry about the cost of filling the tank with Petrol perhaps I could direct you to the Smart Car Showroom down the road?"
After spending the sort of money you claim to have done on an iPhone then $0.99/month is not even the price of a small 'half caf-low fat-skinny-latte'[1] now is it? How many of them do you drink a month? Time to put it into perspective a bit methinks...

I thought it was like an amnesty for people who had pirated lotsa stuff so they could become semi-legit?
I have been buying CDs for 30 years and my library is approaching 80,000 tracks.
I agree with naeS1Sean
Take that Rolls Royce joke:
Normally, of course, the salesman would have filled the tank for free without the man even having to ask.
Same applies to the iPhone. Buying a $ 1000 iPhone from a premium brand could make the customer expect enough online storage space to be able to backup the device without the hassle of paying for a subscription service.
It's not the money, it's the principle. It's not giving the customer the idea Apple is being cheap.
Well I can 100% confirm this is working. I have a library of 76,205 songs and whenever I would try to signup for iTunes Match it would give me the error of having a library that was too big. Tonight though was a different story. iTunes just let me signup and as we speak it is scanning my library.
Question though for longtime users: I am using a MBPr and have NO idea how long the scan will take. Advice? Do I leave the screen up and hope it continues even when the screen is off? Or can I close the lid and hope it keeps going or do I need to restart it overtime I open the screen? And if I restart it will it leave off where it was before or will it have to do the same work over and over again?

I think this thread has maybe 10 on-topic posts in the midst of "iCloud is too expensive", "you're a psycho if you have more than 4 songs", "you're an idiot if you have less than 400k songs", "my Taylor Swift songs haven't been broken so Match works for everyone", etc.
Anyway.
I am thinking of making (another) backup of my music, getting Match subscription, letting it do its thing, then switching it off, finding out what it broke (this will be fun with 31k songs but I am guessing remixes, demoes and live tracks are what I really need to check) and copying the borked files over from the backup. Is that a sound plan or not really? What do people do when Match gives them wrong files?

I just had to wade through 4 pages of comments of nothing but complaining and whining. Not a single informative comment or confirmation this increase was working. Feel sorry for MacRumors having such a community like this.
I bought:
- 25 full CD's a year on average from 1988 to 2008, that's 500 * 12 = 6K tracks
- Adding CD + Vinyl singles/EP post 1985 + 2K = 8K
- Itune tracks +2K, = 10K
- Adding pre mid 1980s tapes and vinyls that made its way to mp3s +3K = 13K
So, hey measly 13K tracks, what horror!
International users. A top of the range UK iPhone is about $1200 US, entry level iPhone 6 is $1100 Aus etc.
People always assume $ is USD.
I tried out Apple Music and it just wasn't for me. I own a MacBook Air with a 120GB Hard Drive and an iPhone with limited capacity so I stream my music collection to them rather than downloading it all.
I've purchased one album this year, 'Rivals' by the Dutch band 'Kensington, so a constant subscription would just be a waste of my money.
Lots of people have been collecting music long before the rise of MP3 players and subsequently streaming services. Whilst some of the youngsters can't understand a collection of more than 1000 tracks, I can't understand a collection of less than this. I must be getting old
