    Nothing. It will remain where it is unless you remove it.

    Thanks - but I thought the idea was to free up space on your device. Can I select which songs reside on phone and which ones to stream from iTunes match?

    You use iTunes along with your connected phone. In the section for syncing Music you can deselect the tracks you don't want from the list of installed tracks. Then sync the phone. This will remove the unwanted tracks. If you uncheck the entire section, then all the installed tracks will be removed from the phone.

    Hi,

    Once iTunes match completes its scan of your iTunes library on your computer, all your music will be available to stream but you can select the tracks that you wish to download. With match turned on, you will no longer be able to sync with your manually with the computer as you did before subscribing to match,
