iTunes Match is here... if you can get in! It's still beta, Apple may still delete your library, and right now they're saying to check back in a hour because they're overloaded and aren't letting anyone new subscribe for the moment.

So let's troubleshoot right here.

Can you get in?

How good is your catalog scan?

How good is your upload?

Are you downloading and playing or streaming to your devices?

it's uploading now,

Installed via apple.com (software update doesn't have it yet) and when I click iTunes Match it shows:

New iTunes Match subscriptions are temporarily unavailable.
Due to overwhelming demand, iTunes Match is not accepting new subscriptions at this time. Please check back in an hour.

When I click the link "Subscribe for $24.99" I get the following message:

Your library contains too many songs.
To participate in iTunes Match, your library must contain no more then 25,000 songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store.

I have 41,605 songs in my library. Oh well.

I was able to get in. Started with my small library on my laptop before uploading my whole collection. It all uploaded with the exception of 7 songs which said they could not upload due to an error and 3 songs that are not eligible for iCloud. The 3 songs were taken right off one on my ever clear CD's not sure why they didn't load. Im not sure what ones it actually matched and what ones are just uploaded from my collection. So far it seems to work well.

how do you upload the music from your computer to the cloud for Imatch. I turned it on, and the music came off my phone, itunes store shows my purchased music, but nothing from the computer burned from a CD, or bought elsewhere. Thanks

Guessing this is USA only?

If you sign up for iTunes Match is there any way to get the 256kbps DRM free versions downloaded to the iTunes libary on your computer? This would save everybody from having to upgrade older 128kbps purchased songs via iTunes Plus ($0.30 per song!). Maybe it's as simple as syncing your iPhone to your computer and all the files will be transferred or replaced? That would make the $24.99 fee a bargain!

Does anyone yet know how iTunes Match will handle the "Track 1", "Track 2"s from cd uploads of the past?
