If you use an Apple device, chances are pretty high that you have uploaded your music collection to iTunes. The Apple Music membership offers various benefits, including access to iTunes Match. In case you are unfamiliar with the service, iTunes Match lets you upload your music library from your Apple Music app installed on your Mac or Windows.
Users can access their whole library from all their devices that have the Sync Library feature turned on. This feature really comes in handy if you happen to own thousands of songs. Having said that, several users are now reporting that they are facing an issue with iTunes Match when uploading or matching new and existing songs to the Cloud Music Library. Many people say the problem started last Thursday.
And it seems that the issue is rampant across all devices. I have a little over songs. Between yesterday and this morning, iTunes Match is finally done evaluating and uploading songs, and it seems to have made a few mistakes. If I show the iCloud Status column in my song list, in a number of albums I'll see "Matched" for most of the tracks, but "Uploaded" for one or more track.
I've even looked at the track info to see if they might have been encoded differently, but on the few I've spot checked they have the same encoding as the other songs in the album that were matched. I've been able to force iTunes Match to re-evaluate songs that showed "Error" before no errors now , but I can't seem to figure out how to force it to re-evaluate these songs that were non-matches even though they're in the store.
How do we do this? Do I turn off iTunes Match and start over again? I've been reluctant to do so considering how long it took yesterday. You may not be able to get complete matches, but here's what I have been doing in the cases where one or two tracks don't match. Note that this will keep the play counts, etc on your tracks. It may not succeed on every track, and sometimes repeating the process picks up another track.
Occasionally, I'll get a "Removed" icon there after doing this: just right-click and choose "Add to iCloud" on these. Doing it this way ensures that the song is never removed from your iTunes database, just from the iCloud Music Library. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to force the removal from iCloud Music Library within iTunes, without also deleting song from the local iTunes database. Maybe it would be possible with a second iTunes library that doesn't have the songs locally….
When you view your library from the web interface of Apple Music, you can directly remove items from your iCloud Music library, without affecting the files on your local database. After deleting the items, make sure to "Update Cloud Library", and check they are "Removed". Select and right click one track or multiple tracks and select "Check Selection". Worked like a charm for the albums I had uploaded by CD. Sign up to join this community.
