Q: iTunes match sharing

Ok, I use the "share my library on my local network" at work to share with friends.  Is there a way to make the iTunes match show up?

 

Second question, if I download the song from the cloud to be able to share it(this is what I have had to do so far) it still shows up after I deauthorize the computer.  Will this come back to bite me later and make it impossible to hear the song in the future or something else?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

    I'm not sure what you are asking. Do you mean that when you have sharing enabled any music not downloaded to the local library is not available to others? This makes sense and would be how I would expect it to work. Sharing works only for local content, meaning content that is physically on your computer. So the answer to your question is, no. The tracks will have to be downloaded.

    Since you downloaded the track to the computer why wouldn't it still be in the iTunes library after deauthorization or disabling iTunes Match? This is how it works. It is your track.

    Ok, i didnt know if you could share the streaming of itunes match or not.  As in them seeing the whole match library available on sharing or not.

     

    For the second question, I didnt know what the deal was with the songs there.  I just remember the old days if I copied a song like 5 times to cd I couldnt listen to it any more.
