But I WANT Itunes metadata for matched songs!
First, let me say that I was mostly intrigued by ITunes match for the ability to swap out my ripped audio collection for a high quality ITunes download version – I was just slightly motivated by the prospect to “stream.” I am disappointed that I don't have the option to accept ITunes metadata for my matched songs. Although infrequent, ITunes cannot find the correct artwork for my cds when I import them, even with the ITunes store selling the exact album with the correct artwork. I am thus forced to have to locate the correct artwork and tag the tracks myself. Then along came the ITunes match announcement, and I thought all of my troubles were over - I was incorrect. Basically, I subscribed to ITunes match to correct my metadata by GETTING AN ITUNES COPY OF MY SONG(S). I thought by making a match in the ITunes store for cloud streaming/downloading implied actually getting the un-edited (so to speak) version of the track that shows NO resemblance or similarities to your crappy and heavily-altered-tagged-tracks that you, no doubt, have spent countless hours fixing metadata. No matter what I do, including multiple updates to iTunes match (>Store>Update ITunes Match), I cannot get ITunes match to match a track with the specifics that I would get if had just originally downloaded the song with ITunes in the first place, than to decide to buy a hardcopy of my music. I want ITunes metadata and artwork.
