What is iTunes Match ? New iTunes 10.5.1 has been launched to public as a final version. The most anticipated feature was iTunes Match. We will show you all you need to know about this new feature after the jump.
What is iTunes Match?
Well, To put it in simple words, It's a paid feature costing 24.99$ a year that sorts your iTunes library. It's a very useful feature to those with messy Music Libraries.
How does iTunes Match work?
iTunes Match sorts your music library out in 3 steps. In the first step, It analyzes your Music library, Then matches your songs to those in the iTunes Store, And finally uploads the non-matching content found in your music library.
How much is it / Where is it available?
The current price for iTunes Match for a whole year subscription for 25,000 songs costs 24.99$ yearly. When released, It was only available for the US stores. It still is, But hopefully Apple will make it available to other countries.
Should I get it / Is it worth it for the money?
It is definitely worth the money if you have a large music library that is rather messy than normal. It's not an extremely pricey service. It's a useful service to many people, And I recommend getting it if you have a large library.
Like all Apple things, It comes with limitations.
