iTunes Match Match Explicit Songs Matches Clean

I am having issues where some songs that have explicit words are being replaced by songs that have been censored ( clean version ). I am pretty particular about my music, ever time I hear a song that has been censored, it is like nails on a chalkboard to me.


Some of my songs are being properly matched, Eminem for instance seems to have no problem being matched, however Blink-182 gets matched with the clean version.


I hope Apple will correct this before this comes out of beta, for an Apple product I am thoroughly disappointed.

Yes. Me too! Some it my Drake songs are clean now. And I bought explicit CD's and imported them into iTunes. It's very frustrating when your in the mood listening and then a edit comes. Apple needs to fix this ASAP. Apparently the software doesnt or can't tell if you have a explicit or edited version of the song so it randomly matches either a explicit or edited. One song was edited for awhile but after the recent iTunes update (10.5.2) it was explicit.


I'm confused. I love iTunes Match because I don't have to have all my music stored on my phone but it's really aggravating that this explicit/edited bug hasn't been fixed!

This is a freakin nightmare. Where is my fix for this and reassurance my music isnt going to be child proofed!??!


Also where is this Battery fix for my iPhone? Apple what are you doing?



Does anyone know of a way to delete all music directly from iphone and redownload to make sure its bringing down the uncensored?



Now I need a way to determine which of my songs have been replaced on my desktops with crappy edited versions. I have 70 GIGS in the cloud!!!!!!!


Not happy about this one bit.

Don't get me wrong though. Music purchases off iTunes itself are going to be explicit if you purchased the explicit version. But your imported music files i.e. music CD's that are explicit. They are practically all clean. I just checked. I upset. Because I'm so use to listening to the way the music was meant to be. Which is explicit! Now I'm listening to clean lyrics which is annoying because there is way to many editings!


Ugh! Apple please fix this. I chose iTunes Match because I didn't want all my music taking my iPhone 4 storage space. This iCloud feature is awesome. I do know this is the early stages and your working on the important parts first. But this bug is serious though!
