Ok, so I've had iTunes Match for a while now (almost a year), and despite the fact that I'm about fed up with Apple because they STILL haven't bothered fixing the issue where it will just freeze up while uploading songs to the cloud, it's now working pretty well, for the most part...or so I thought. However, while working today, I seemed to have encountered a problem.

I have a mid-2009 MacBook, an iPad 4, and an iPhone 6. My MacBook has all of my music on its hard drive, and it's the one that I use iTunes Match through. Both my iPad and iPhone have iCloud and iTunes Match turned on on them. I spent a good three to four hours when I first set up my iPhone to download every single song from iCloud to the phone so I wouldn't have to worry about eating up my data to listen to my music, as my phone is more for my music, whereas my iPad is more for my TV shows and movies. I only downloaded one or two of my favorite playlists from the cloud onto my iPad.

Today at work, however, to save my phone battery, I used my iPad to play my favorite playlist. I know every word of all 240 songs on that playlist and can recognize every single one within the first 2-3 seconds even without vocals. Suddenly, I heard a song start up that I had never heard before in my life. I looked at the title, and it was displaying the correct track and album titles and artist, but it was definitely NOT the right song. So I grabbed my phone and played that same song on my iPhone. On my iPhone, it IS the correct song. I would understand if the song was wrong on both my iPad AND my iPhone, and I would chalk it up to an iTunes Match issue. However, on my iPad it is wrong, and on my iPhone it is right. Has anyone else had this issue? How do I fix it? I'd like my song back.

If it helps, the CD that the wacky song is on is a CD that iTunes didn't recognize. I had to put all the album, artist, and track information in by hand, and album artwork, too. Also, the song that is playing instead of the right one is by the same artist. I would think that iTunes Match was confused is all except, as I said above, it's the right song on my iPhone, just not my iPad. And it's the right song on my MacBook as well.
