    iTunes Match allows you to have access to entire music library (up to 25,000 songs) without having in on your phone as long as you have an internet connection.  When you enable iTuens Match on your phone it will delete the music from your phone.  Then when you listen to songs they are streamed over the internet to your phone. Currently, when you listed to a song it is simultaneously downloaded to your phone.  Future iOS releases may allow you the choice to just listed to it without downloading (this was a feature available in a beta release of iOS 6).  You can also download entire albums to your phone without having to listen to them.

     

    If you don't often listen to your entire library but wish to have all your songs available if you want to hear them, iTunes Match can be a space saver.  If you prefer to always have all your music with you whether there is an internet connection available or not, then it isn't.
