Anyone else not getting the option to download songs via itunes match? all settings are right, can see the songs, but streaming only..... maybe a glitch i guess, but wondered if it's just me...
 
This is how I want Match to be! It even has Genius working with iCloud.

There does seem to be a download all for albums/artists, but not for songs.
 
It doesn't put a download icon next to the song for me, but you can manually play a song. That essentially downloads it.

Would suck batch adding songs from different artists/genres though.
 
If you view by Artist, then select an Album you will see an iCloud icon at the top.

If you select the icon it will start downloading all the tracks in the album. But now you can deselect any of the tracks you dont want.
 
Agh the download all option doesn't totally work, it starts downloading some then bugs out. frustrating, but i did decide to play with a beta, anyone got all theirs working? maybe there's a workaround?
 
I just downloaded a full album, no problem, using iTunes Match on my iPhone 4 running iOS 6 b1.

You just go into the album you want and press the iCloud download button.

This way is far better than separate songs, and I like being able to stream what I want.

If you manually play a song, it now streams as opposed to downloading. If you want the songs downloaded, you use the button beside the album art.

Album is no use to me.

I'm doing the download all button at the bottom of a playlist, it bungs a bunch iTunes store's download section, but not all.
 
I use to have iTunes Match on a previous iTunes account. Which Apple closed for me. Now I want to try iTunes Match again but afraid of that songs switch from "Explicit to Clean" bug that hasn't been fixed yet.

Can anyone confirm that this is fixed? That's my only problem with iTunes Match. If so I would jump aboard.
