Anyone purchasing ITunes Match?

[CalifJewls]

I am not..I only listen to music on my iPhone and I manually sync only my current favorite artists/albums/playlists and leave the rest sitting on my laptop...

I was considering buying Match, only because I thought Google Music played at 128 kbps. After learning today that it supports 320 kbps, I'll definitely be passing on iTunes Match. The majority of my music is already at 256 kbps + anyways. Plus you can use GMusic on both iOS and Android. I don't think you can use Match on Android.

Far too limited and $10 month > $25 a year.

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.

But I agree with his point if you have to download the music to play it why not just load it on your phone to begin with much reason why google music is a better choice

I still have to disagree. Google music was horrid, when I tried it.

As a music freak, what I want to listen to may change, at any time, so I like having it all available, from everywhere and anywhere.

i have 2700+ tracks that are the top 100 of billboard 1980-2010 or so (i made the list myself). i know those wont "match" but i dont want to upload 2700+ tracks either. is there an option not to sync them? if i retag them and put the right album name i got them from will it match on the iTunes servers? some of them are bad quality so i would love to get them at 256.

I tried it for a month and liked it. But with my different musical tastes it was just too much work to set
things into offline mode. Felt like a lot of work. Great app though.

Just not sure that iTunes Match is worth the price. If I download my music and add it to iTunes, I just manually add the songs details. No biggies. I can see how this would be great for people who download/compose a lot.

Why to buy iTunes Match?

This.

 

[sherlock]

No I don't see the point.

 

[SnapThrow]

is there an option not to sync them?

Nope, the only control you have with Match is turning it on and off. No way to tell it want you want Matched... which is a feature Match sorely needs.

Yes, I know that. I tried it again, thinking maybe it had improved with the public release, but it hasn't.

Oh...I guess I should have read a few pages back

No problem!

Can you access your Match music from any computer? Say one that doesn't have iTunes installed.

No, because the only way to access it is iTunes on a computer.

Thanks. I guess I'm failing to see how your music would be more accessible "everywhere and anywhere" using Match than it would be with GMusic. You can access your GMusic from iOS, Android, Windows Phones, Macs, PCs, pretty much anything with a browser. Seems like you can only access your Match music on an iOS device or computer with iTunes. Maybe I'm missing something.
