iTunes Match is live...

Rameses · 15 Dec 2011 at 00:11

It's out now, I'm encountering a problem but I'm signed up. Will leave it for the time being, hasn't started the upload yet but I'll try again in morning, probably getting hammered now.

14k of songs to be uploaded! :eek:

I'd 85% are clean but I gave up because the cleaning program TuneUp was awful.

Will see what happens next!

How do I sign up?

Phate · 15 Dec 2011 at 00:31

Ah wait, found it.

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 15 Dec 2011 at 00:40

I subscribed because Its something I want. Although I think its being rolled out for tomorrow. I don't think it'll work for several hours or more.

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 15 Dec 2011 at 00:41

I did have a button to send to iCloud and thats disappeared now after I signed in and out.

Phate · 15 Dec 2011 at 01:35

I've subscribed, it's something I've wanted for a long time now.

Rameses · 15 Dec 2011 at 01:40

Yea still not working, when you view your account in iTunes it says 'add this computer' but nothing is happening, the Match appears under the Store but says something about genius...

Will try again tomorrow.

It's a false release. They are refunding people apparently.

Rameses · 15 Dec 2011 at 11:31

Bummer.

So should I avoid the Software Update for iTunes 10.5.2 then?

No, that's fine. It's just people who signed up for match who are getting refunded. No reason not to update iTunes.

nevermind just googled it.

Sounds fantastic. I have loads of music I bought of itunes a couple of years ago at the lower quality so it will be great to have it at the higher quality.
Also being able to download a song which I havent put on my iphone from anywhere sounds like a dream come true. Just last week I wanted to listen to something while I was on the bus but I realised I forgot to put it on my phone so I had to use youtube to listen to it

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 15 Dec 2011 at 22:09

Confirmed its live.

go to iTunes store and enable on the right.

Vertigo · 15 Dec 2011 at 23:11

It's borked here

Keep getting "iTunes Match encountered an error, please sign out and back in and try again", but this never works.

It's also managed to enable Genius without me asking it to and I can't turn it off.

Epic fail Apple.

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 15 Dec 2011 at 23:16

it matched everything. Then iPhone won't enable it, now it needs setting up again. Deffo dodgy at the moment but its not officially out yet. It'll be working by tomorrow.

Westyfield2 · 15 Dec 2011 at 23:18

Is it here to stay tonight?

Rameses · 15 Dec 2011 at 23:21

Well its certainly kicked off for me, gathering info at the moment before matching and then uploading unmatched songs.

Might have to leave it running all night, taking its time analysing the library at the mo'
