I have downloaded some lectures that are below 128 Bit Rate, so they are not being uploaded onto iTunes Match.
I was told to change the Bit Rate to 128, and that would solve the problem.
How do I do that????

Convert them using the menu option in iTunes and select a higher bit rate.

Airsculpture's recommendation might work since it is just the bitrate that is causing the problem and these are not things that would likely be in iTunes Store's collection for Matching. Normally it is not a good practice to upscale bitrate since the quality will not get any better and could theoretically get even worse.
^^^ What Limnos said. The solution was just for the bit rate issue, not in any way to improve anything. All you are doing is bloating the file with the hight bit rate.
Thank you Airsculpture- I have gone into the menu bar on iTunes, but I can'rt seem to find the location where to choose or select a highter Biz Rate. Can you give me a little more guidance please?
Limnos- I understand it will not improve the quality. I just need to increase the Biz Rate so it is accepted on iTunes Match. Any Biz rate lower than 128, will not be accepted.

THANK YOU!!! Once I re-visited my playlists, I saw the files had already been converted, I just needed to delete the low Bit rate ones.

Now I can upload then to ITunes Match!
How can edit the Bit Rate on my music?
