iTunes Match

iTunes Match stores your music library in iCloud—including songs imported from CDs—and
lets you enjoy your collection anywhere, anytime on your iPod touch and other iOS devices and
computers. iTunes Match is available as a paid subscription.

Note: iTunes Match is not available in all areas.
Subscribe to iTunes Match: In iTunes on your computer, choose Store > Turn On iTunes Match,
then click the Subscribe button.

Once you subscribe, iTunes adds your music, playlists, and Genius Mixes to iCloud. Your songs
that match music already in the iTunes Store are automatically available in iCloud. Any remaining
songs are uploaded. You can download and play matched songs at iTunes Plus quality
(256 kbps DRM-free AAC), even if your original was of lower quality. For more information,
see www.apple.com/icloud/features.

Turn on iTunes Match

Go to Settings > Music.
