Does iTunes Match Cover Albums "Mastered For iTunes"?
With the advent of "Mastred for iTunes" last month, I've been wondering whether iTunes Match subscribers would be able to upgrade their collection to these (allegedly) superior sounding albums.
Yesterday, I had to redownload a song from iCloud I recently purchased and, after redownloading, I noticed the "Mastered for iTunes" logo in the summary section of the song. Since I had other albums that are now mastered for iTunes, I thought I'd redownload them in hopes of the same results. However, there was no logo that appeared. The albums I tried to redownload were Elton John's "Madman Across The Water" and "Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy" and it seems I merely redownloaded what I had.
What's strange is that the "Mastered for iTunes" versions of these albums are the only versions now available on the iTunes Store, so I'm puzzled why I would not get those copies, instead. If anyone has any insight as to how this would work, that'd be great.
Thanks!
