End Music Match Subscription

[Merkur1]

Hi Serernity!
Could you briefly give me the pros/cons of discontinuing Apple Music Match? I've subscribed for a few years but no longer buy 'physical' CDs etc. Have had the 'ususal' problems with Apple music (duplicates etc.) so am concerned with any negatives which may occure if I end the Match subscription whilst keeping the Apple Music part.

Thanks.

If you unsubscribe for iTunes Match, it will be just that. You will have no longer iTunes Match.
Since Music also has iTunes Match functionality built in, you won't notice anything at all. Up until the moment you have both Music and iTunes Match, you have been paying double for the same functionality.
Ps: initially, the music matching in Music was not DRM-free, unlike iTunes Match, but that has changed a long while back.

So I'd recommend you to cancel your iTunes Match subscription.
