Anyone purchasing ITunes Match?

So basically you can match your library in the cloud and play it anywhere with having zero music synced to your phone locally ?

If so if say you don't have a good signal or say a iPad wifi version but have no wifi you can't play your music ?

Isn't this like making your own pandora library? lol

Not sure what the purpose of it really is. I have like 500 songs and my laptop shares library with iMac which syncs with phone and iPad. I also cant comprehend someone having more than 25,000 songs lol. To each his own I guess.

I have quite a bit more music then you however I feel the same way my music is already on everything

You have to download, it doesn't stream.

Awful service! I'd rather spend the $25.

I may get it just to convert music I've downloaded for free and ripped from CD's so I can get the iTunes type quality. It's really the only reason I'd pay for it once.

Why is it awful?

See how long it takes to upload your music library.

And once it uploads is it still awful?

Probably. I'll never know, though. I have about 10,000 songs that'll probably take weeks to upload on there.

I just let the computer run a couple nights of sleeping and my entire library is up there once its up it works great!

For $25 I can upload my music 1000 x's quicker than two nights. I'm part of the caffeinated society that wants things done quickly.

Yeah I would rather have the $25 to spend on coffee. I am pretty bad when it comes to wanting things yesterday but I am willing to give the free app a chance. I don't have that many songs anyway.

I've had google music since it was beta, it's always been glitchy.

Today, I gave it another try with the public release. I tried to upload a playlist of 40 songs, it took over an hour, then gave me an error saying 11 couldn't be uploaded. I clicked to see which ones and NONE of the 11 are even in the playlist it was uploading!!

I downloaded the music I had on there, over 500 songs, and put them in iTunes. It matched what it could, uploaded the others and was done in about 15 minutes!

I can have something free that I've always found to be a PIA, or pay $25 for something that works....I love iTunes Match.

When it's in the cloud, you can add music to your phone anywhere. You don't have to be on the same wifi network, or hooked to your computer.
