(Short in comparison to Google Music’s 2 weeks!) Now I want my upgraded songs! Here’s how I did it… Took two days for Apple and my laptop to upload and match songs. I keep the better files at the end of the year!.Upgraded to 256-Kbps AAC DRM-free quality.MP3 files recorded from old worn out cassette tapes that barely played at times.I was happy, was being the key word here! So let me give you the short version….
ITUNES MATCH WAITING UPGRADE
(I was thinking – save space and it’s about the same quality sound) Well, when I read that Apple would match those old mp3 files and upgrade their quality to the files they sell in the iTunes store, I liked that idea! I liked it even better when I realized that I would be able to keep those files in a year if I choose to not pay for iTunes Match again! Plus many of my tapes were WELL worn out – so the quality of sound coming into the laptop was questionable many times! But at least I had a digital copy of my tapes and I could listen to them from my iPod. I have a ton of tapes that I simply put into the old tape deck, hooked an 1/8inch cable to RCA plugs, then pushed record on an audio program and proceeded to record all those old tapes – TOOK FOREVER! Plus at the time when I did it I made the choice to save the files as mp3 files. Follow along here and I’m going to go a bit more into depth.Īpple told me that iTunes Match would upgrade the quality of all those songs I recorded into my laptop from all my old cassette tapes. I still can not find the answer on Apple’s web site. I had to dig around on the web to find an answer.
ITUNES MATCH WAITING HOW TO
Another question i had was how to get the better quality file from iTunes Match that I had read about in all the advertising.

I consider myself a pretty good reader and I consider myself someone who digs around for answers – more so than the average person trying to figure this stuff out! For instance I had an icon show up in my iTunes Library that is not listed on the above page. Apple has made an attempt to give a good description of what the service is and how to use it – check this out from them… and then there is even more here “ Learn More About iTunes Match.” They even have a nifty “ Understanding the iCloud Status Icons” So I have turned on iTunes Match, as I’ve mentioned in several other posts here.
