Apparently it's matching some of them as it uploads them. I guess it tries to match a small sample then gives up and begins uploading. In that process, it has a bigger sample and eventually finds the song.
What, $34 is too much to get all 24,500 of your illegally downloaded songs made legal and available to you anywhere you are in the world with the click of a button.
Dont say you brought it all either, we know you didnt.

Not likely. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, Sony's grip on the music industry here is just too tight. Hope I'm wrong, though!
Basically iTunes match is a cloud storage service with some extended media capabilities. Why should other people outside US pay more for the service? Dropbox for example costs the same in all corners of the earth, or do we in Europe have to pay some strange ghostly taxes on storage services now?

Just paid for match and it's apparently matched 1407 songs out of 2000.
I'm not 100% sure on the concept of match, but those 1407 songs have been upgraded to a higher bitrate?
Should the song title change too? For example, I have Jay Z and the Verve Bittersweet Symphony saved as just 'The Verve' which iTunes has matched, should it have changed the title to include Jay Z?

10 hours later and still uploading my unmatched songs.
There was 1,000 (ish) unmatched songs and its taking forever.
To be honest, they aren't even songs, they are old radio shows I have saved, and each one is around 40MB.
I hope Apple has prepared for things like this.
90% of my music got matched and is working fine, probably because it's all legal.
They are probably in for a shock to see a lot of peoples iTunes library's are very messy and not possibly very legal, haha.
I think Jobs was a little niave at the iCloud keynote when he said, "We will match all your songs to songs in our iTunes library, and for the few we don't match, we'll upload them for you."
Few??!! In this thread alone i've seen people with over 5,000 unmatched songs!

But.......
Sorry to put a dampener on the party, but is it REALLY worth £21.99? I have a huge music library, and from what I have read about Match, it will not match songs that I have ripped from my on CD's and DVD's?
This means the majority of my library would be skipped anyway. So what are the REAL benefits of match? I want to be convinced, but I just don't see the value😕
