When can I get the new version of Apple Music matching?Īpple is taking a steady approach to the iTunes Match rollout for Apple Music subscribers, moving over 1-2 percent of its users every day. (Matched or uploaded tracks you did download will stay the same.) If you cancel Apple Music, any iCloud Music Library tracks you don't have stored on a device will disappear.Any tracks or playlists you download from the Apple Music subscription library will be DRM-encumbered, because you don't own them, and will disappear if you cancel your subscription.You will soon no longer have to pay for both services: Apple Music is getting iTunes Match bundled inside of it. (Apple Music tracks and playlists will disappear or become unplayable if you cancel, because they weren't your songs in the first place.) If you use both Apple Music and iTunes Match When you download one of those tracks on another device you own, it's yours forever and won't disappear if you cancel your subscription. If you only use Apple MusicĪny music you purchased from iTunes, ripped from CDs, or had in your library will soon be classified as Purchased, Matched, or Uploaded, and will not have DRM applied to it. If you only use iTunes MatchĬurrently, the iTunes Match service still exists, and your active subscription won't go away without you cancelling it. Not much, but if you're considering signing up for Apple Music, the matching algorithm just got a whole lot more reliable and doesn't involve DRM-locking secondary copies of your music library. If you don't use Apple Music or iTunes Match Got lost in the mumbo-jumbo above? Here's the deal for your specific situation. I'd still love to see a force-upload option for tracks, but this is a huge step in the right direction. While I still encourage everyone to have a full backup of their iTunes library before subscribing to any cloud service, this now means that even if you accidentally (or intentionally) delete your personal iTunes library on your main Mac, you'll be able to re-download copies of those songs that are DRM-free. Not only will your matched songs hopefully be more accurate thanks to audio fingerprinting, but not having DRM on your personal tracks is a gigantic win for users and greatly simplifies Apple Music headaches. This also means that the $25/year iTunes Match service is being deprecated anyone who subscribes to Apple Music will now get it as part of their subscription. However, all subscribers to Apple Music will get the new version of iTunes Match at no extra cost. This is, in fact, the same version of iTunes Match that iTunes users could pay for as a separate subscription since Apple began offering it years ago.
