I ran itunes match on my library of about 5,800 songs. A majority of them have matched leaving only about 300 uploaded songs (still working on trying to get them to match to songs that are in the itunes store. So if you have any suggestions please provide insight as to what needs to be done to get them to macth even if adjusting the song length isn’t helping). Back to the main point of this thread. Before itunes match was announced and released I went through my songs and deleted a bunch of songs that were of lower quality and weren’t worth keeping but they are still on my external hdd So I figured it may be easier to just completely wipe out the cloud of all of my songs. Reupload my entire library onto my computer and rerun the match service rather than going through and trying to find what songs aren’t on the cloud one by one. What is the easiest way to make sure everything is off of the server? Highlight everything and delete and select remove from cloud would be my first approach. Also if I did this, this would have any effects on the 25k limit ( I know I’d only be at 10,000 songs but I don’t want to shoot myself in the foot for the future.)

Finally I have a CD that I was really hoping would match Suego Faults by Wolf Gang. The cd isn’t available on the US itunes store but it is available in the GB itunes store. I find it odd that none of the songs are matching since it is in the itunes database just not in itunes US. So this brings me back to has anyone found a way to get itunes to match songs that are available in the itunes store but aren’t matching? Even if I have to go through one by one adjusting the song length etc I’ll be willing to do it (just being really picky even though it is unnecessary) but adjusting the song length hasn’t been working for the songs that I’ve been trying to do.

Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for being long winded but any help would be greatly appreciated.
