There are a couple of things I would like to know that I have not found by reading through the forums...namely about iTunes Match (either on Mac/PC or any iOS device running iOS 5.
1.) if you have created your own albums in iTunes, for example...I merged 58 tracks of Michael Jackson into a "King of Pop - Super Deluxe Edition" (after many years I decided which tracks I liked and which I could live without), and after editing the metadata it shows up as one big super album in iTunes and my iOS devices. I have done this with several artists who have a huge back catalogue.
When using iTunes Match, will it preserve this kind of thing? Or will it identify each track and show the album from which it is from separately? In the case of MJ, it might show 48 tracks (like the deluxe version from iTunes - minus videos) then show lots of other albums that my remaining tracks are from i.e Thriller, History, etc etc. Or will it just show it exactly like it is in my iTunes library?
2.) I've spent a lot of time upgrading all my album artwork to 1500x1500 so it looks amazing on a big tv screen, and on the iPad. I've been using iTunes in the cloud and notice the album artwork from there is nowhere near as high definition. The difference is clearly noticeable. Will iTunes Match upload artwork from all my iTunes tracks (even if the songs are in iTunes) and use this when downloads are taking place to my devices, or indeed on my mac if I delete the tracks after they are matched?
Just two questions I've been wondering about....anyone have any experience with either of them?
Thanks
