Q: How to upload only unprocessed songs
I purchased the $25 iTunes Match service and uploaded all my songs to the cloud. I think the upload was interrupted when it was about 90% finished somehow.
Anyway, I now have a lot of songs with the cloud outline icon that apparently represents songs that have been matched but not uploaded yet. I'd like to upload them to the cloud, but I don't want to go through the time-consuming process of uploading my entire iTunes collection again. Is there a way to select only songs that aren't already in the cloud and upload them?
Thanks.

Yes, only videos purchased from the iTunes Store are eligible for iTunes Match.

Uploaded obviously means these songs have been uploaded, and I assume Purchased songs don't need to be uploaded, because Apple already has a record of my purchase. I'm not sure what Matched means, but it looks like I need to upload the songs in the Waiting category at the very least.
Perhaps this marketing page will help you better understand the iTunes Match service: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/.
"Match" means the track in your iTunes library was literally matched to a track that is for sale on the iTunes store.
The first trouble shooting step for get the "waiting" songs to be processed is to simply quit iTunes, wait a few seconds and open it again. The scan process should kick off and start processing the tracks that are in a "waiting" status.
