Q: why is IMatch taking so long to download

I subscribed to IMatch and as soon as the songs uploaded then it went to stage 3 where the artwork was uploading.  It took several days so I thought that maybe it froze somehow.  I restarted my Mac and now it's going through the same process all over again right from the start.  Is this supposed to take this long.  I have read on other forums that other people were having the same problem.  There was a program that they downloaded to make it go faster but I'm not interested in doing that simply because this is a new computer and I don't want to add such downloads using up storage.  Any suggestions?

MacBook Air, uploading for days now

    Hi folks,

     

    I found a solution in case your MATCH is still buggy...

     

    JUST BOOT YOUR MAC HOLDING THE SHIFT KEY (until you see a progress bar).

     

    Then in itunes disable and re-enable iTunes Match.

     

    It should rescan all your library and eventually works.

     

    At the end just reboot your Mac normally.

     

    Best regards from Paris.
