Yes I know, just thought that I should mention that streaming has some disadvantages that may not be immediately obvious. I like that the option is available, as it can be convenient in some cases.
Got a tip for us?

Maybe I misunderstand your post but you don't need to stream. You have the option to download the music to your device just like buying a song from iTunes ( when subscribed to their $9.99 premium service).
I have ONE song from an album purchased from iTunes that is corrupted. I deleted it from mbpro and iph5. I then pulled a pristine copy from external drive and put that in iTunes. That was ok till I synced phone the next day. I think the good file was overwritten by the corrupt copy on the cloud. So...how can I delete the corrupt file from the cloud? I do not have iTunes Match. Don't want to.
If you don't have iTunes Match, it's not being overwritten by anything in the cloud. Sounds more like there's a problem with the files. If you purchased it from iTunes, you can redownload it from the cloud, which would be your better course of action. Go into the store, go to your purchase history, and download the album again.

Yeah especially they part where it takes several days to upload it to their server because they can't do match. That is just so fantastic!
Music videos in the Videos.app work exactly like they used to in iOS5.
e.g. listen to the track, swipe to delete and the cloud icon shows up waiting for it to be downloaded/listened to again.
Why did they take this out of the Music.app but not the Video.app?

itunes match in ios6 is total crap.
1. no single track download
2. no deleting of songs and albums!!!!!!!
3. 3G bug: if you start downloading in wifi and go to 3G it will use 3G even if your settings disables it.
I am not renewing my membership if it doesn't turn around..

Well but video management is different: you have videos that go through itunes match and videos that are added through itunes (i.e. personal videos).
I know how iTunes Match works, I've had it since day 1.
here are some pics for you....
Back to normal...

Monkey I have no doubt you know how it works. I just meant that while the music app can only be synced via itunes match, the video app needs to serve other purposes, that might explain why they now function a bit differently.
I still hope they revert the music app to the old functioning.
who cares? once the initial upload is done, thats all there is to it.
and now i have no problem streaming from ANY of my devices from anywhere and any machine i want since i can access my whole library from any web browser. i can freely delete/edit/id3/change album art anything i want directly in the cloud.
but hey, if you want to pay for an inferior service that requires you to constantly delete songs from your phone and can't access your stream from anywhere but your own machines (which pretty much defeats the purpose of 'in the cloud'), go for it.
Wondering why they don't implement it like Photos.app accesses "Photo Stream" - just another tab in the Music.app where you choose to stream your iTunes Match library from the cloud on the fly any time. 
TV also sees iTunes Match as a separate entity this way. It should just be like your very own Pandora, ready for you to play/stream whenever you want, not requiring a System Prefs level toggle.
The forced all-or-nothing Match vs local, especially when the change from one to the other leaves an unpredictable mishmash of songs on/off the device and corrupts the artwork every time is unacceptable. Would like to choose to play locally while driving on 4G, but immediately flip to Match when I get to work with WiFi.
Having said that, I find the $25/year price perfectly acceptable just for the match upgrade to 256, the effortless remote backup, and the auto-sync between my main laptop and my home server which is an additional local backup. Getting the iOS gadgets to "just work" as they should will be nice whenever it happens, but I was really expecting iOS6 to bring that fix.
