Q: iCloud Status (Apple Music and iMatch)

What is the difference between 'Apple Music' and 'Matched' in the iCloud Status column on iTunes? I have both Apple Music and iTunes Match. If I have a song that shows both, which should I delete?

TIA

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Hi,
Read this Make and keep a backup of your iTunes library, and only stream from the cloud.

Keep the matched version.

Is there some way to do this automatically? Going to be a long process going thru by hand!

HI,
It may help if you make a smart playlist based on iCloud status = Apple music.
Alternative use find duplicates command then sort by iCloud status. You can then select all Apple music tracks and then delete.
