Nope.

I love iTunes Match. It matches everything on all your devices. Also any music you own like CD's it will match and upload in the cloud.

I've never turned it on. I've got some CDs from a small Celtic rock band I follow that I've been thinking of getting onto my iPhone. Maybe thins weekend.

^ Agreed. I still have CDs purchased when CDs first came out. 8000 songs total. iTunes Match is the perfect service for me to bring my music collection into the 21st century, and is also very affordable. I do wish Apple would provide streaming to other platforms, but is not a huge thing for me since most of my devices are iOS.
