iTunes Radio = edited (clean) songs only.

Ok, I had the strangest thing happen to me.

Earlier in the day, I toggled the Explicit switch in iTunes Radio.

Now, I am playing a playlist from my library, Itunes Match.

2 of the songs, Flagpole Sitta and MGMT's Time To Pretend played censored versions.
The matched versions from my library are the original versions.
And it was odd, it sounded like they scrambled bad words on the unedited track.

Now I wonder if I download the matched track on my home library, will it replace it with this "clean" version.

That would be terrible.

Anyone else notice this?

Again, this is out of iTunes Radio.

If your using iTunes Radio whatever song your listening to and you already own lets say the clean version but iTunes Radio is playing the explicit version since you enable the explicit option of course it's gonna play the explicit version and not the clean. The explicit lyrics option is only for iTunes Radio and not iTunes Match
 
Thanks. Saw that, turned it on, played a song, still edited. Closed out the app, reopened, verified explicit lyrics were still on, but tracks were still edited. I created a '2Pac' radio station to test this.

If it makes a difference, the few tracks I tested, I also own, and own the explicit versions of the track.

Click the info button in the top bar when on a station. There is an option at the bottom for explicit tracks.

Same exact thing I noticed. Hopefully the toggle is present but currently it's not working (bug).

I noticed the same as soon as I posted. I'm sure it will get sorted out eventually.
 
itunes radio is a joke.

iheartradio is better than pandora, slacker, and all the other crappy music apps
but hey that is my opinion :D
 
You can turn the curses back on. Apple must had toggled explicit content off with one of the iOS 7 beta updates. Check the blog link...
