iTunes Match Albums Went Missing

I upload a lot of rare recordings through iTunes match on my PC desktop. When I signed in today, a lot of them didn't appear in iTunes. They are still on my external hard drive.

Any idea why they are not showing or how I can bring them back? Thanks!

Apple Music is missing albums I ripped from cd I have many albums in iTunes that I ripped from cd. I've noticed entire albums missing from Apple Music, yet they still appear in iTunes. So I ripped them again and after syncing library they reappear. Now I noticed many more albums missing. Also some that I re-ripped have the wrong album cover now. Why is this happening?

Duplicates in Apple Music (Windows) I just upgraded to Apple Music on Windows. It lists 51 tracks as duplicate, 49 of which are Matched AAC. It won't create a placeholder on my devices, though, which means that certain albums are missing tracks, either on the original or a greatest hits album. I used to be able to force them to upload somehow in iTunes, so it was just a minor inconvenience. How do I get them up in the new app? It's not like it's taking up any more storage space for Apple. I just want a complete collection when I'm away from home.

unmatched albums exist on my iphone but not on my mac or ipad. how do I get the unmatched albums to the icloud? I subscribed to iTunes Match a few days ago. My matched iTunes albums show up on my Mac and synced iPad. However, I have approx 100 albums that are unmatched (I uploaded from CD long ago). They all exist on my iPhone but don’t show up on my Mac or iPad. I am hesitant to turn Sync On on the iphone because when I do, it says all media will be deleted and replaced. How do I get these unmatched CD albums into the cloud? I thought that’s what iTunes Match was for?

I had turned off Match. I think I figured it out.
