iTunes Match
iTunes Match stores your music library in iCloud—including songs imported from CDs—
and lets you play your collection on iPod touch and your other iOS devices and computers.
iTunes Match is offered as a paid subscription. To find out where it’s available, see
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. Other
songs are uploaded. You can download and play matched songs at up to iTunes Plus quality
(256 kbps DRM-free AAC), even if your original was of lower quality. For more information, see
Turn on iTunes Match: Go to Settings > Music.
Turning on iTunes Match removes synced music from iPod touch, and disables Genius Mixes and
Genius Playlists.
Songs are downloaded to iPod touch when you play them. You can also download songs and
albums manually.
Download a song or album to iPod touch: While browsing, tap .
Note: When iTunes Match is on, downloaded music is automatically removed from iPod touch
when space is needed, starting with the oldest and least played songs. iCloud icons ( ) reappear
for removed songs and albums, showing that the songs and albums are still available through
iCloud, but not stored locally on iPod touch.
Manually remove a song or album: Swipe sideways across the song or album, then tap Delete.
Show only music that’s been downloaded from iCloud: Go to Settings > Music, then turn off
Show All Music (available only when iTunes Match is turned on).
Manage your devices using iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads: In iTunes on your
computer, go to Store > View My Apple ID. Sign in, then click Manage Devices in the “iTunes in
the Cloud” section.
