iTunes Match Goes Live Internationally (For Real This Time)

Disappointed again! Thanks Tim!

Have waited months for this ;delayed' service to arrive in the UK, and now when I try and use it, I receive this message:

To participate in iTunes Match, your library must contain no more than 25,000 songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store.

Another F - up by Mr Cook! Am very disappointed.

Iphone 4s was disappointing as was the Ipad2 just a thinner iPad. The iTV is delayed and competitors are releasing internet TVs. iPad 3 just looks like it has a better display. Where is the 220gb iPod classic and 128gb iPad? Where is the 15 inch macbook air with 500gb flash drive.

C'mon apple, pull your socks up and 'get with it' before your competitors do.

Seriously!? The 25k song limit was well advertised, this shouldn't come as a surprise to you :rolleyes:

Not so you would notice (Germany that is). Restarted iTunes again and still not there.

Vielleicht mal ausloggen und wieder einloggen, im Store. Ich kann unter "Gekaufte Artikel" all meine Musik neu laden. Seit circa 30-60 Minuten geht das. xD

Kept having the 'Sign out / Sign in' message appear. Eventually got it to work by signing out, then restarting iTunes, then signing in.

iTunes match is now doing it's thing!

Don't know if that will help anyone having the same issues :D

Unfortunately it didn't work for me :(

Any other ideas?

I didn't say I was 'surprised'; I'm never surprised. I said I was disappointed. Am a big Apple and Music fan, but I feel very let down today.

Mate- you seriously need to chill.
 
Posted this in a thread I made but probably get an answer here quicker, so apologies for double asking.

iTunes match, can it be used more than once to match songs? So if I use it tonight with my library (most of which isn't bought from iTunes) and then in a month by a CD, will I be able to match it with iTunes and have the same benefits?

Only reason I ask is because on one website (I research prospective purchases far too much) it said that it can only be used once a year. I'm aware the subscription is yearly, but the use of the service is all year round, right?

Most will think this is a stupid question i'm sure!

It just seems bizarre that you'd be surprised today rather than when it was announced. That figure will increase with time and I wouldn't be surprised if as soon as it's internationally rolled out they add plans to accommodate those with larger libraries.

It's entirely understandable that they would place such a limit as they have a finite source of capacity, they need to budget within a limit initially then increase their offering as they become capable.

You can use it all year round, and you can update itunes match when ever by click the store menu and then update itunes match or right clicking on a track

Can you pay the £21.99 from an existing iTunes balance? Like if you have credit left from an iTunes gift card? Thanks!

Yep you can, you just have to have a credit/debit card attached to the account too. The money will come from the store credit though.
 
Works in Toronto, Canada!

I was getting the 5002 error when I tried to subscribe on my macbook so I tried on my spare pc and the subscription went through no problem! Than I just signed back in on my macbook and it enabled iTunes match... now its scanning my library.

None of us have heard anything on iTunes Match since it was announced by Steve. Months of delay without any further announcements.

I think you're right, it will increase over time. But being such a huge music fan, I hate waiting. I really need to back my music up now, not in 2012. Part of my trade is as a musician and a lot of the songs are my own work, would be great to have them in the cloud system. I'm only 4000 songs over the limit too.
 
I think the errors are appearing because non-iTunes Match content is still being served by whatever caching servers are in place.

I logged into my US VPN provider and iTunes Match is working fine. Did the same on my iOS devices and iTunes Match option appeared immediately.
