Q: Someone Else Singing with iTunes Match?
Okay here's a weird one.
I own the CD Linkin Park "A Thousand Suns" this album was registered as Matched on iTunes Match.
I recently redownloaded the entire album onto my iPhone 4S to play in my car, while listening to the album, it got to the 8th song "Waiting for the End" and to my dismay... someone else is singing the song. It sounds like someone took the normal song and added their lyrical performance and put it on top of the normal song, and this guy is singing very off key. It would be kinda funny if it wasn't so annoying. I perfer the normal singer to sing along with, not whoever this is.
The song sounds normal on my computer, and when I directly transfer the song from the PC to the iPhone or any other iOS device, meaning the one on iTunes Match is not the original file, it's someone wanting to singalong with the song online... how do you correct something like that? Notify Apple?
The only thing I can think of is that iTunes Match wouldn't have thousands of copies of the same song... so I figure someone else uploaded theirs first, and then that copy becomes the one that gets matched to everyone else afterward. It's kind of a funny idea, and a weird way to mess with people. Anyone else heard someone elses singing on a matched song?
Hope to get some input on how to fix or approach this unique situation.
Thanks,
Charles
