I tried iTunes Match a few months ago and didn't like how it destroyed my play counts. I deleted everything out of my library and checked the "delete from iCloud option," turned off Match, then restored my library from a backup. Problem solved, play counts were restored. I verified that I had no music in Match by turning it on on another computer, and looked at my iPad where it was already turned on, and sure enough it was blank.
Now several months later, I decided to try Match again. When I activated it, it only had to upload about 40 songs (all new since I used it last). Apparently my iTunes Match Library was stil in tact somewhere in the cloud, complete with the hundreds of "Uploaded" songs from before.
Is there any way to actually delete songs? This would help with trying to rematch songs later on as well. I would imagine if I don't renew the service they would be purged, but I have quite some time left before the year is up and I actually want the service to work.
